Does it matter that the Pope won’t call a fetus a “person”?
What’s it mean if the Pope recognizes the fetus as a living human but denies its legal status as a person?

Abortion: The Holy Grail of leftist politics
Without abortion, Democrats have nothing to offer their most fanatic followers: women. Here’s a question for you: What is behind the Democrat party’s unswerving fealty to abortion? I’ve been reminded of it recently because my travels took me to Wisconsin. I wrote about it here, so I’ll repeat only one

Aborting Judicial Activism…and Abortion Itself
This is a deep dive into the principles underlying the main opinion in Dobbs and the concurrences, as well as the utter lack of principles underlying the dissent. Given the length of the majority opinion, concurrence, and dissent in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org., it has taken me a

Dobbs: A return to the rule of constitutional law
The Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision represents a return to constitutional law — and if Dems hate it, there’s a constitutional amendment process to change it.

The Alito Draft: A Dagger to the Heart of Judicial Activism
Justice Alito’s opinion — his assurances to the contrary notwithstanding — threatens the entire edifice of activist precedents passed during the last century. And that is a very, very good thing. The primal scream from progressives over Justice Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is both obscene and justified.

The highlights of Alito’s decision overturning Roe V.
Alito’s decision is beautifully written and perfectly argued, but it’s long. Here’s a condensed version with commentary. Wolf Howling read through all 98 pages in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. He came away impressed with the legal reasoning and the accurate legal history. In terms of sheer legal intellectualism, the

I think we already know the outcome on the challenge to Roe v. Wade
If you scan the internet, you’ll see a number of headlines stating that the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument today in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case out of Mississippi that challenges Roe v. Wade. I’m completely disinterested because I’m certain that the outcome is pre-determined: Roe v. Wade will

Uma Thurman unwittingly says important things about abortion
Uma Thurman normally wouldn’t interest me but her pro-abortion message actually made three excellent points (that she didn’t mean to make). Uma Thurman occupies a place on the list of Hollywood actresses in whom I have no interest. I believe I last saw her in Pulp Fiction, almost thirty years

Afghanistan v. Abortion: What really riles Democrats
Having the Texas abortion issue arise on the heels of the Afghanistan debacle has been illuminating, to say the least. I haven’t written for a while because I find myself with surprisingly little to say. I’ve always written to share information and, to the extent I occasionally have them, insights.

The wonders of leftist cognitive dissonance
It’s strange that, with full color, x-ray vision into the fetus’s world, leftists can both celebrate that view and still be pro-abortion. I grew up as a pro-abortion Democrat. I was unable to maintain that attitude when I saw the first ultrasound of my daughter at ten or eleven weeks

Democrats have a schizophrenic approach to a woman’s right to privacy
I think there’s a good argument to be made that the Democrats’ Equality Act violates a woman’s constitutional right to privacy. The basis for unlimited abortion in America is a woman’s right to privacy. It says so in Roe v. Wade, with its talk of emanations and penumbras: The Constitution does

What do Democrats and the CCP have in common?
For both Democrats and the Chinese Communist Party, it can get pretty deadly when they show their love for you. The title of this post, of course, is a trick question. As we’ve seen with today’s social media purge, the Democrats and the Chinese Communist Party have everything in common.

Austin is trying to deter crime the ‘Minority Report’ way
By shifting money from policing to encouraging abortions, Austin is fulfilling the eugenicists’ dream of a world in which no criminals exist. The Minority Report was a 2002 movie (based upon a Philip K. Dick short story). The premise was that law enforcement had moved to a point at which

Democrats are panicked about mass death, but still push abortion
It appears that Democrats are dragging their heels on the bailout bill because it doesn’t ensure that Planned Parenthood can continue operations. During what Steven Hayward calls the “Great Hunkering,” I am trapped in my home with my Little Bookworm and her boyfriend. Well, because I’m not in California, I’m

Bookworm Beat 1/24/20 — busy week illustrated edition (2nd Amendment, March For Life, & impeachment)
What a busy week: a Second Amendment rally in Richmond, a huge March for Life in D.C., and the impeachment farce, plus Dem candidates, stupid leftists, etc. We’ll start just as the week started, with uplifting, patriotic, and often very clever images from the Second Amendment rally in Richmond: And
