Just a reminder: Yes, today’s Supreme Court ruling was a major disappointment (to say the very least). And, yes, we must continue to fight for life and liberty here on earth. But, let’s also remember to keep our eye on the real hope that springs eternal: For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the one that is … Read More
Wanted: More Men for All Seasons
Today Rep. Bart Stupak – who lead the charge to get abortion funding out of healthcare reform, only to vote for the bill w/out pro-life protections in the end – announced that he will not run for re-election this year. For pro-lifers this is obviously a welcome retirement. You know, the more I think about it, the more I find … Read More
Down to the Wire
I looks like the House is getting set to vote on health care reform this weekend! The Susan B. Anthony List has a good ad targeting on the fence pro-life Democrats I have talked to some people who are still confused as to how, exactly, the bill is considered pro-abortion or anti-life.

Stupak “Prepared to Take Responsibility” for Taking Down HC Bill
See the GMA interview with Rep. Bart Stupak and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in which Stupak says he refuses to vote for the Senate version of the health care bill in its current form because of its pro-abortion language.

Senate Bill “Assisted Suicide Friendly”
Abortion funding still seems to be the main focus of pro-lifers now that the Senate has approved a motion to begin debate on health care reform last night. However, I mentioned yesterday that abortion funding is not the only pro-life problem with federal health care reform. In a recent post, Wesley Smith gives us an example of what else we … Read More
Call Your Senators!
Health care reform is quickly making its way through the United States Congress. I must admit, I’m surprised at just how fast they are trying to get this thing through. After passing the House just two weeks ago, the Senate is set to begin the voting process on health care reform tonight. I have not gotten too involved in the … Read More

Senate Finance Committee Rejects Pro-Life Amendments
From LifeSiteNews: The Senate Finance Committee torpedoed two key pro-life amendments on Wednesday designed to prevent government-subsidies of abortion and guarantee conscience protections for health-care providers in the health-care reform bill. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) proposed to amend the “America’s Health Future Act of 2009” under consideration by the Finance Committee led by Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.). His amendments would … Read More
Could Abortion Funding Kill Health Care Reform?
Pro-life Democrat Rep. Bart Stupek says he believes they have the votes to defeat the health care bill in the House if it does not specifically exclude coverage for abortions (h/t Jill Stanek): Glad to see some members of Congress taking such a stand in opposition to our Country federally funding the murder of unborn children. Now – to get … Read More
