Jill Stanek nails it: It is not the fault of “conservatives” that pre-abortive mothers fret and post-abortive pro-abortive mothers bury negative emotions and encourage others to be like them, to prop themselves up. Maternal instincts to protect one’s own children and not kill them are built in.
“When I watched an abortion for the first time, my reaction surprised me”
Newsweek writer Sarah Kliff on her emotional reaction to witnessing her first abortion (h/t Jill Stanek): … But I’d never actually seen an abortion; I’d never watched the procedure that activists vehemently defend or deplore….

Sen. McCaskill Opposes Fed. Funding of Abortion?
It seems my U.S. Senator, Claire McCaskill has been well covered in the news lately for the noise that has been made at some of her town hall meetings in the state this month.

I Will Be a Voice…Will You?
As I mentioned yesterday, the longer the right to Life is excluded from American politics, the closer we come to losing our other rights and liberties.

We Can Have a Civilized Discussion, at Least
Since Obama’s Notre Dame Commencement there’s been a lot of discussion about whether or not it’s possible for both sides of the abortion debate to ever finally find “common ground.” To settle our differences so that we can work together toward one common goal.
