Catholic Church Abortion-Shames New Yorkers, But of Course They're Missing the Point
​Abortion. Saying the word in the midst of a cocktail party will hush even the most intrepid of irreverent souls. Because even if you're pro-choice, you can't actually be pro-abortion, at least not in any public Fashion. Baby killing is always, always, always bad. Right? Which is perhaps why the much-maligned Pedophile-priest-troubled generally rather sexist and without-a-clue Catholic Church has glommed on to abortion as one of the things it can censure in New York City without fear of ...

Facebook likely to go public next year
So perhaps Facebook isn’t trying to avoid an IPO after all. The Wall Street Journal got hold of a 100-page document sent to potential investors showing that the company planned to cross the 500-investor threshold this year.

Such companies must register as a reporting company within 120 days after the end of year in which the limit is breached. At that point, companies typically...

Rise in abortions in China, young women targeted
XI'AN, China - The leaf-strewn median on Eternal Peace Road hides a grim secret: Numerous tiny fetuses lie in Unmarked Graves dug by women from the Abortion clinic across the street.

Here was Steve King just this past week on the subject of abortion: I often go into a High School auditorium or mee...
