Abortion Foes Have High Hopes for New Congress -- and for 2012
By David Gibson - Politics DailyAs abortion opponents prepare for their annual March for Life on the Mall in Washington on Monday, pro-life activists are revitalized by the prospect of a Republican-dominated House they view as friendlier to their agenda than at any time since the Jan. 22, 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. For example, new House leader John Boehner has said he wants to be "the most pro-life speaker ever" and New Jersey Republican Chris Smith, co-chair of the Congressional Pro-life Caucus, called this "the arguably most pro-life House ever," a judgment with which many abortion opponents ...
Rick Santorum's Comments on Obama and Abortion -- Clarified
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyFormer Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who is expected to seek the GOP nomination for president in 2012, this week became embroiled in controversy over comments he made about President Obama and the abortion issue. During an interview with CNS News' Terry Jeffrey, Santorum noted then-candidate Obama's 2008 comments that determining when human life begins was above his pay grade. Here is Santorum's controversial quote: "The question is (and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer): Is that [unborn] human life a 'person' under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if ...
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 ...
'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, ...
Abortion and Regret: The Remorse Can Cut Both Ways
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyThere's a scene in the movie "Fish Tank," often hailed as the U.K.'s answer to "Precious," in which the mother of the 15-year-old heroine tells her daughter that she'd intended to abort her. It's a difficult thing to listen to -- and to watch the mixture of pain, anger and confusion that passes across the teenage daughter's face. But one of the many things this brutally realistic film forces you to do is confront the question of what each of these female's lives might have been like without the other. In the Woman Up thread that's coalescing around the issue of feminism and abortion and ...
Abortion Foes Claim New Momentum
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Jan. 22) – Thousands of abortion opponents trudged up Capitol Hill to the Supreme Court once again Friday in the annual ritual known as the March for Life. But on this, the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, there were signs they were marching with a renewed sense of direction. "This is an exciting time to be in the pro-life movement," said Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, which organized a "Virtual March for Life" of more than 75,000 avatars to join the actual throng on the National Mall. "A year ago, we were facing unprecedented opposition, seeing ...
Post-Tiller, Pro-Life Movement Lives On
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyIt would be easy to assume that the murder last Sunday of Dr. George Tiller in the sanctuary of his Kansas church would slow the momentum of the pro-life movement, even in the short term. After all, one man had killed another in the name of defending life.But Scott Roeder, the man charged in Tiller's murder, was never one of them, said Jim Sedlak, vice president of the American Life Network, a grassroots, Catholic pro-life organization. "The mainstream, pro-life movement does not condone this in any way whatsoever." Just as they did last year, members of ALL will stand in front of Planned ...
