Abortionist murdered

A suspect is in custody for the murder of Kansas late-term abortionist George Tiller. We condemn this terrorist act in the strongest terms.

Let us hope that the guilty party is punished, that he has no connection to any reputable organization, that no other such crimes are being planned, and that abortion continues to be a subject suitable for peaceful debate and protest.

Big Brother asks: 'Do you have a flush toilet?'

The federal government is forcing 3 million Americans to disclose sensitive, personal information about finances, health and lifestyle in a 14-page survey – including questions about availability of household flush toilets and difficulty with undressing and bathing.

The 2009 American Community Survey, an annual supplement to the decennial Census, asks about residents' personal relationships and whether a home has hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, bathing facilities, appliances and phone services. It also asks how many rooms are in a home and what vehicles are used at each household.

The new questionnaire asks respondents what they pay for electricity, gas, water and sewer every month and whether residents receive food stamps

Religious Liberty Is an American Value, Correct?

New Hampshire state Representative Steve Vaillancourt doesn't seem to think that clergy should be free to believe that homosexuality is immoral. Vaillancourt led the fight to oppose a religious liberty amendment to the homosexual marriage law after the Governor refused to sign the bill into law without the amendment.

The House voted down 188-186 the homosexual marriage law with the amendment protecting the religious liberty of clergy after the Senate voted to approve it along Party lines.

Bipartisan Call to Review Report Profiling Conservatives

The House Homeland Security Committee unanimously approved a resolution calling for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide the source material used to write the report titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." (PDF)

Rep. Peter T. King (R-NY), the panel's ranking Republican, called the effort an "unprecedented display of cooperation on a resolution of inquiry."

"I assume [Rep. Thomas] Bennie (D-MS) wanted to do the right thing, and he realized that we have members across the board who are dissatisfied with the department, and it really created a firestorm in many districts."

"It is important to find out why it happened and to make sure it doesn't happen again," Mr. King said.

To become binding, the House must approve the subpoena for the documents. If it passes, the documents must be turned over within 14 legislative days of such a vote.

Partisan Politics: Feingold Blocks Bill to Honor Reagan

One Senator stands in-between Republicans and a bill to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birth. His name is Sen. Feingold (D-WI).

Sen. Feingold is holding up the bill in order to add language to establish commissions to study the internment and restrictions of German and Italian Americans and Jewish refugees during World War II. He says he doesn't want to hold up the bill, but also won't go through regular committee process on his amendments.

Steele is taking the RNC to new levels—new salary levels that is.

The Washington Times researched the salaries of new RNC staff members, including Steele's personal assistant, and found that Steele's new hires are making double, or in one instance, three times as much, as their predecessors.

Texas RNC member and President of Texas Eagle Forum Cathie Adams is quoted in the Washington Times article: "When we are talking about paying someone three times what his predecessor made, it would be wise to make sure all 168 members of the national committee know who these people being hired are and what their qualifications are for being paid that much."

Obama fans want legal pot

The Wash. Post reports:

Forget about the economic crisis, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and saving Social Security: An online opinion survey released by the White House this week ranks legalizing pot, playing online poker and cracking down on Scientologists as far more important issues.

The survey is not a scientific poll, but presumably does reflect the issues that excite Obama enthusiasts.

Reagan attorney general rescued Constitution from activist judges

On July 9, 1985, Ed Meese dropped a constitutional bombshell on Washington, D.C. that shook the foundations of the federal judiciary all the way to the Supreme Court.

Meese's words in a speech before the national convention of the American Bar Association – proclaiming that judges should be "expected to resist any political effort to depart from the literal provisions of the Constitution" – exploded upon the judiciary's liberal stronghold built by a generation of activist judges and sparked anew a fire of commitment to the Founding Fathers' vision of the Constitution.

More Americans “Pro-Life” Than “Pro-Choice” for First Time

Also, fewer think abortion should be legal “under any circumstances”

by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42% "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.

Births to unwed moms rising

The AP reports from this CDC report:

ATLANTA—The percentage of births to unmarried women in the United States has been rising sharply, but it's way behind Northern European countries, a new U.S. report on births shows.

Iceland is the leader with 6 in 10 births occurring among unmarried women. About half of all births in Sweden and Norway are to unwed moms, while in the U.S., it's about 40 percent. ...

Experts are not certain what's causing the trend but say there seems to be greater social acceptance of having children outside of marriage.

Those experts are not subscribing to the Phyllis Schlafly Report.

National Groups Come Together To Fight Media Bias

Famous feminist dies

AP reports:

NEW YORK - Marilyn French, the writer and feminist whose novel "The Women's Room" sold more than 20 million copies and transformed her into a leading figure in the women's movement, has died at 79.

French died of heart failure Saturday at a Manhattan hospital, said Carol Jenkins, a friend and president of New York's Women's Media Center.

She was an academic in 1977 when "The Women's Room," her first novel, was published. Her aim, she said, was "to change the entire social and economic structure of Western civilization, to make it a feminist world."

The landmark novel, which was translated into 20 languages, details the journey to independence of a 1950s housewife who gets divorced and goes to graduate school. The book mirrored aspects of French's own life experiences, including the rape of her daughter.

She was called anti-male after a character in the novel says: "All men are rapists, and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws, and their codes."

"Those words came from a character, and she was not a man-hater and never said that in her personal life," Jenkins said. "But she wanted men to accept their part in the domination of women."

Still, the novel "connected with millions of women who had no way before of claiming their anger and discontent," Jenkins said.

The male subjugation of women is the main theme of French's novels, essays, literary criticism and her four-volume, nonfictional "From Eve to Dawn: A History of Women."

Really? Millions of American women had no way of claiming their anger and discontent until they they read some silly novel saying that all men are rapists?! If she is not a man-hater, then what kinds of novels do the man-haters write?

Former Supermodel Kathy Ireland Gives Powerful Defense of Right to Life

UNITED STATES, April 29, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Former supermodel Kathy Ireland, who became famous in the 1980s and 90s for her appearances on the cover of Sports Illustrated, is not holding back on her pro-life views as she tours the nation promoting her new book on motherhood.

In a recent appearance on Fox News' "Huckabee," Ireland gave an explanation of the right to life that host Mike Huckabee said was the most articulate that he had ever heard from any source (see video at http://vodpod.com/watch/1528667-kathy-ireland-on-abortion).

"From the moment of conception a new life comes into being, the DNA, the genetic blueprint is there, the sex is determined, the blood type is determined, the unique set of fingerprints is there," Ireland told Huckabee.

"According to the law of biogenesis, all life comes from preexisting life, and each species reproduces after its own kind, therefore human beings can only reproduce other human beings, so it doesn't start out as one species and suddenly become a human being somewhere along the way," she said

Colleges teach the hookup culture

The former Princeton director of Sexual Health Services Brian Zack wrote this letter in the current Princeton alumni magazine:

“The hookup culture” by professors George and Londregan deserves a thoughtful response ...

I agree that all sexual values (that do not harm others) deserve support from the University, including chastity before marriage. I do not agree that within the broad range of human sexuality, one approach should be regarded as more moral and decent than others.

He makes it clear enough. Except for an occasional rant from a token conservative, today's college students are being taught that no
approach to sexual values is any more moral and decent than any other.

Baptist Pastor Assaulted After Refusing Police Search

Baptist pastor beaten + tazed by Border patrol - 11 stitches

This story has been circulating around the web and is generating some media attention as well.
Obviously, this is a deeply troubling example of a worst-case outcome for a citizen who asserted constitutional rights during a police encounter. Given that our mission is to help people understand and assert these rights, we regret that events like this happen as often as they do.

Fortunately, the internet itself has become a useful tool not only for educating the public about their rights, but also for exposing police who violate the constitutional rights of the people they're supposed to protect. Some might say Steven Anderson's experience is an example of how police just do whatever they want. Yet Steven Anderson is exactly the type of brave citizen whose decision to assert his rights could ultimately have a meaningful impact.

It is precisely because too many police officers continue to recklessly disregard the basic rights of innocent people that we must make sure all citizens have the tools to confidently assert their rights if and when they feel compelled to do so. This incident will likely culminate in a high-profile lawsuit that could change the way similar situations are handled in the future. If it weren't for Anderson's decision to flex his rights, there's no question that the officers he encountered would be out there right now abusing other people, instead of being investigated for civil rights violations.
