Pro-Life Ranks Growing, Especially After Philly Abortion Case, Cardinal Says
By David Gibson - Politics DailyA day after the annual March for Life drew thousands to frigid Washington to protest abortion, the Roman Catholic cardinal who is the American hierarchy's point man on pro-life issues said he was "hopeful" that the new Congress could move ahead on measures to restrict abortion. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston also said he believes the cultural tide is turning against public acceptance of abortion, and that the revelations of gruesome practices by a Philadelphia abortionist will add to the disapproval. "This situation in Philadelphia is certainly sobering, and ...
2010 Elections and Pro-Life Women: A Correction for Modern Feminism
By Marjorie Dannenfelser - Politics DailyThe 2010 elections represent not just a good result for pro-life female candidates, but a good result for all women. The reason is simple: Since 1992, which liberal groups dubbed the Year of the Woman, elected women in Congress have represented the views of pro-choice activists, not the views of American women. On November 2, that imbalance dramatically shifted toward the pro-life side of the scale, and it is just the beginning. More than sheer numbers are involved, but the numbers alone are compelling. They underscore first and foremost that, as good as this election cycle was for fiscal ...
Jeri Thompson Bashes Karl Rove: Are Conservative 'Feminists' Playing the Sexism Card?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyDelaware GOP Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell may well be the new face of conservatism. And while there would surely be some benefits to this, it could also fundamentally change some long-standing tenets of conservatism. A political party or movement isn't just defined by the policies it advocates, but also by how it fights (which actually tells you whether its members live their principles). For example, conservatives who argue in favor of free market economics typically don't criticize their adversaries for, say, being rich. With a few exceptions, playing the "race card," the "gender ...
'Mama Grizzlies' Embody Authentic Feminism
By Marjorie Dannenfelser - Politics DailyThis op-ed column was written by Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, a nationwide network of over 280,000 pro-life Americans dedicated to advancing, mobilizing and representing pro-life women in the political process. The day after another remarkable primary there is no question that the political apple cart is thoroughly upset and a realignment is taking place. As the final votes are counted, pro-choice Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) nears defeat to the pro-life Joe Miller, another pro-life attorney general candidate emerges from the Florida Republican primary, ...
Family Feud on Tour in Districts of Pro-Life Democrats Who Voted for Health Care Reform
By Melinda Henneberger - Politics DailyMEADVILLE, Pa. – You'd never know from the back-and-forth between the protesters and counter-protesters gathered in this small tool-and-die town's Bicentennial Park earlier this week that they agree on the issue they came out to shout about. In front of a "voter education" campaign bus bearing huge, mug-shot style photos of a half-dozen pro-life House Democrats who voted for health care reform, a succession of speakers on a 23-city tour organized by the Susan B. Anthony List claim that the local congresswoman, first-termer Kathy Dahlkemper, "caved" on the abortion issue by voting for ...
EMILY's List Takes Swipe at Sarah Palin's 'Mama Grizzlies'
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin has made "Mama Grizzlies" a campaign theme, but a Democratic women's group is growling back. EMILY's List, a national organization dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women to office, announced a new campaign, "Sarah Doesn't Speak for Me," on Monday. Its mission: To fight back against Palin's "radical agenda" and her endorsed candidates. In a press release, the group said: "Sarah Palin has predicted a rising tide of mothers and women voters will support her so-called 'Mama Grizzly' candidates. Today, we call upon women -- and men! -- to let their voices be heard and to ...
EMILY's List President: Our Stand on Abortion Rights Is Unwavering
By Stephanie Schriock - Politics DailyI enjoyed talking to Eleanor Clift last week about the future of EMILY's List -- not just electing more women, but growing our community of activists and supporters significantly -- doubling and doubling again, as I have pledged. I am confident that this growth will be fueled by our commitment to electing strongly pro-choice Democratic women. But I am deeply concerned that the article suggested a change in our assessment of what it means to be pro-choice. Twenty-five years ago, Ellen Malcolm's visionary leadership established our organization as unwavering in our commitment to abortion rights ...
