Exporting Abortion

AdvanceUSA — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:54:31 GMT

Ken Blackwell explains how Western liberals force abortion onto developing nations. Excerpt:

Did you know that Warren Buffett has given $3 billion—yes, three billion dollars—to promote abortion here in the U.S. and around the world? Often, government officials in developing countries are under pressure to control population in order to qualify for international aid. So they pressure women in the villages to get abortions. Western Europe is especially strong in pushing for abortion in these developing countries.

Heart wrenching paragraphs like this reflect the “new colonialism” of spreading the religion of secularism and its sacrament of abortion around the world. Apparently President Obama supports this brand of colonialism because he strongly promotes a pro-abortion constitution for the East African nation of Kenya.

Kagan Hearings Begin This Week

AdvanceUSA — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:09:38 GMT

Today marks the beginning of Senate hearings on the nomination of Elana Kagan to the Supreme Court by President Barak Obama. During the hearings, Kagan’s words and actions (which show her to be a radical liberal on key issues) can and should be used against her. Excerpt from the AP story:

During her solicitor general hearings, she wrote, "Under prevailing law, the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy, subject to various permissible forms of state regulation."

One of the most talked-about issues against Kagan is her decision as dean of Harvard Law School to ban military recruiters from campus. Some military families are “appalled.”

Kagan will soon testify before the committee and a number of hot-button issues could and should be discussed. Senate Republicans are contemplating the possibility of filibustering her nomination if she is found to be “too far outside the mainstream.” Hans von Spakovsky explains why the hearings should be delayed due to large number of documents relating to Kagan which have suddenly been released.

UPDATE: Watch the hearings LIVE on CSPAN or on the web at C-SPAM.com. Read the live commentary at NRO's Bench Memos Blog.

Americans United for Life have many helpful resources on the Kagan nomination, including this video on Kagan and her judicial hero:

Pro-Lifers Urge Florida Governor Crist to Sign Important Pro-Life Bill

AdvanceUSA — Thu, 06 May 2010 17:52:21 GMT

The Florida Family Policy Council is urging Floridians to ask Governor Crist to sign a pro-life bill that would prevent the taxpayer funding of abortion and require women seeking an abortion to view an ultrasound image of their unborn child. Crist recently abandoned the GOP primary race for US Senate after upstart conservative Florida Speaker of the House Marco Rubio opened a double-digit lead over Crist. With Crist’s party switch and recent veto of a conservative education reform bill, Florida conservatives are concerned Crist could torpedo what some activists are calling the most important pro-life bill in Florida history.

Star Parker explains. Excerpt:

Why would a bill that criminalizes abortion motivated by race not have the support of the NAACP? Or, even more perplexing, why would the NAACP endorse such a bill and then rescind its endorsement?

This is exactly what just happened in Georgia.

The Georgia Senate passed a bill that would make it a crime to abort a child because of its race or gender.
