When she was running for governor of Alaska in 2006, Sarah Palin reportedly said that even if her then-14-year-old daughter were raped, she would "choose life" and force her to bear a child. Comments like that that have endeared the fiery Alaskan politician to most pro-life voters, who lionized her for not aborting her Down's Syndrome baby. But Trig isn’t enough to protect Palin from a phalanx of anti-abortion activists who plan to protest her appearance on Thursday to promote her book in the conservative heartland of Indiana.

The liberal press, in seeking to justify Obama's commencement speech, was quick to point out that not only were the majority of students and faculty at Notre Dame in favor of his appearance, but that 54 percent of Catholics voted for him in the recent election.

My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up.

This is definitely an article with a clear slant and was written by someone who is clearly pro-choice and opposed to this law. Just letting you know in advance, so if that's not the kind of thing you'd like to read, you can skip it.
Feminists for Choice alerts us to a new Oklahoma law (yes, law, not "proposed legislation" or "some kind of sick joke") set to go into effect Nov. 1 that would collect detailed data about each abortion performed -- and post it all on a public Web site (called ShameOnYouWhore.com).

A white cross erected on a rock outcropping on federal land in California's Mojave Desert is at the heart of a Supreme Court case about the government's display of religious symbols.
