Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I left a trail of hostile professors in my wake when I graduated from UC Berkeley. I didn’t do that intentionally. I never set out to be obnoxious or disruptive. Back in the day, I marched in ideological lock-step with my professors. (Although even then I couldn’t stomach the hypocrisy
Continue readingThe Anchoress examines Obama’s peculiar devotion to abortion, one that sees him put it ahead of all other policy considerations and that allows him to violate freely the consciences of others. As I’ve said here repeatedly, while I have not yet made the journey to being whole-heartedly pro-Life, after a
Continue readingAmerican Thinker was kind enough to publish some of my thoughts about usefulness of the after-birth abortion article: Conservatives were horrified when the Journal of Medical Ethics published an article advocating “after-birth abortion” for handicapped, or just inconvenient, babies. They are correct that it is a disgusting piece of amoral
Continue readingHowever, this rationalization for infanticide, just published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, makes me wonder if Molock isn’t stirring anew in the ebb-tide of the Judeo-Christian West.
Continue readingI will never forget my first ultrasound, when I was pregnant with my first child. I was not an enthusiastic pregnant woman. It was my husband, not I, who wanted children. I had them only (a) because when I married my husband I felt I owed him a family and
Continue readingAs others have commented, the Catholic Church is making the loudest noises about the new Obama Care mandate regarding birth control, abortifacients, and sterilization, but the policy is really a strike against everyone who is pro-Life in America. If you’re a pro-Life employer, you have to pay for your employees’
Continue readingYou guys are all too smart to fall for the fake compromise the Obama administration offered to organizations that do not want to pay for women’s birth control, sterilization, and abortifacients. Just in case you missed the story, though, let me quote from Ace, who drills into the heart of
Continue readingThe last two times I fisked, I was attacking solo acts. This time, I get a triumvirate, as the three most liberal women in the United States Senate, Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, and Jeanne Shaheen, have joined together to write an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, justifying ObamaCare’s
Continue readingLast week, I posted a Planned Parenthood of San Francisco video that was so extreme and biased, I raised the possibility that it was a fake, intended to discredit PP. The inestimable Zombie, bless his (or her) heart, did the leg work for me and discovered that it is the
Continue readingGiven the current kerfuffle about Planned Parenthood, it seemed worthwhile to remind people that Planned Parenthood isn’t just about abortions. It’s also about advancing an agenda antithetical, not only to Christians, whom it attacks very directly, but to any parents who worry about their children’s safety and morality. Also, as
Continue readingIn the past week, two decisions came out regarding the way in which private organizations spend their money. The first decision was the Obama administration’s announcement that businesses in America must provide their employees with insurance that covers birth control, sterilization, and abortifacients. The only exception was for businesses that
Continue readingIn the halcyon pre-Obama days, when Prop. 8 meant that gay marriage was a hot blogging issue, I argued that religion organizations, not the state, should be allowed to define what constitutes a “marriage,” with states confined to authorizing “civil unions.” In that context, I commented upon the religious implications
Continue readingA few days ago, writing with regard to the media’s decision to ignore the standing ovations Newt received during the last South Carolina debate, I asked “If the Press Ignores an Event, Does It Exist?” The press, it turns out, wants to take that experiment in ignoring facts as far
Continue readingHere’s the lede: The great thing about living in San Francisco is that it is socially and culturally responsible. The bad thing is, a city that is so socially and culturally responsible can’t resist taking the bait when a fringe group tries to provoke a reaction. In a non-Bizarro world,
Continue reading(Market Street, by Alfonso Jiminez) Market Street is San Francisco’s main drag. There are other major streets in the City, but Market Street the one that starts just below Twin Peaks and travels diagonally northeast all the way to the Ferry Building. It traverses the Castro District, the outer fringes
