I just saw this seconds ago on CNN – haven’t found a news story online yet: by a vote of 63-31 in the Senate, Kathleen Sebelius has officially been approved. Folks, meet your new Health and Human Services Secretary – unapologetic defender of sucking the brains out of partially delivered babies and covering-up rapes:
**Update: found it online: Sebelius Wins Senate Confirmation as Health Secretary Nominee – got the numbers wrong up there. The vote was 65 (not 63) to 31.
**Update: Just heard that, yes, Brownback did vote for her confirmation.

Oh, my word.
Lord, have mercy. At least there’s no doubt about his betrayal of the pro-life cause, now; no amount of “nuance” is going to explain this to even the most sympathetic pro-lifer.
This is what happens to good people when they get into politics – esp. when they have high political ambitions, like Brownback did/does. Eventually they are convinced that they have to start playing the political game – manipulated into rationalizing support for things that are otherwise against their principles in order to achieve some perceived greater goal or temporary victory. It’s sad, really.
