The Obamas' Birth Control

BurlingtonPol.com (Free subscription) | 3 hours ago

I wonder what Barack and Michelle Obama use for birth control. Think he's snipped? It appears they made a conscious choice to stop at two kids. Kinda weird how the last three presidents have spawned only daughters. And the last president to spawn sons lived to see one of them also become president. Sasha and Malia. Those are ok names I guess. "Malia" is a little weird because of the prefix...

Complete BS. Hey folks, Still no Vote yet in the House on Obamacare. Why? Simply put, they do not have the Votes. The Leadership KNOWS this. One of the major sticking points is the FACT that it WILL lead to a complete Government takeover of over one sixth of the US Economy. Another? It WILL pay for Abortions. Time after time, many have offered Amendments and Addendums to make sure that there are no...

The Blue Voice (Free subscription) | 12 hours ago

It looks like the Democrats are going to be able to pass a solid health care reform through the House, i.e., one that includes a meaningful public option. But also one that throws women's right to choose out the window. As Jane Hamsher writes in NARAL and Planned Parenthood: Ineffectiveness Anti-Choice Democrats Can Rely On Huffington Post 11/07/09: Democrats in Congress have just proudly signed a...

Landmark Health Insurance Bill Passes House

Ask Slashdot (Free subscription) | 3 hours ago

theodp writes "A hastily-crafted amendment imposing tough new restrictions on abortion coverage in insurance policies helped pave the way for the House to approve the Democrats' bill to overhaul the nation's health insurance system. 'It provides coverage for 96 percent of Americans,' said Rep. John Dingell. Rep. Candice Miller disagreed, calling the legislation 'a jobs-killing, tax-hiking, deficit-exploding'...

The pro-life Democrats forced the Speaker to include restrictions against abortion in the health care reform bill. Here is the story link (thanks for an early tip from Rhode Island). I sent in my email to my local Congressman on Friday. You should still send in yours because this wrangle is not over by any means. The matter now goes to the Senate. Go to this Bishops' Conference link and email your...

House Passes Statist Health Care with Abortion ‘Restriction’ That Will Mean Nothing

BizzyBlog (Free subscription) | 3 hours ago

Here’s the roll call. I didn’t live-blog the vote because my instincts told me it would work out similarly to cap and trade, where Nancy Pelosi’s biggest decision was who to allow to vote “no” in the interest of protecting her party’s electoral majority. In terms of Ohio, she must think that Steve Driehaus, Zack Space, and [...]

MPs Have Lost Their Morals & Ethics on Abortion & IVF

news rage uk | 21/05/2008

I think it is now official. Our MPs on both sides of the house are stark raving mad and wholly removed from the society the represent. This has been confirmed by the results of voting on the various life topics covered by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill which has gone through Parliament this week. I was surprised when they allowed human/animal stem cell research. This was always a contentious...
