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. The staff at the small clinic in the heart of this ancient city don't bury most of the fetuses — only those that have reached three or four months, when they clearly resemble miniature babies. "This big," says anesthesiologist Liu Jianmin, using her thumb and index finger to measure out the length of a l...

Not yet released, Abby Johnsons book is shooting up the charts!
I received an advanced copy yesterday and have had a hard time putting it down. It’s excellent - compelling, intriguing, full of insight, and giving me a lot to think about. Here’s a description: Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who, not long after assisting in an actual Abortion procedure for the first time, cross the line to join the Coalition for Life .

YWCA becomes Platform 51 in Great Britain

How a Christian charity evolved into state-funded 'equality' campaigners
What would YWCA's founders think of today's equality dogma? (Photo: The Women's Library) The YWCA, formerly the Young Women’s Christian Association, has dropped its title after 156 years because “it no longer stands for who we are”. Instead the organisation will be known as “Platform 51”, a rather enigmatic-sounding name that could be a Wesley Snipes film, a band or the route to Hogwarts. In a sense the name doesn’t matter; what’s significant is how t

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 ...

The Obamacare deficit scam
Image via Wikipedia Opinion Journal: Of all the claims deployed in favor of ObamaCare, and there are many, the most preposterous is that a new open-ended entitlement will somehow reduce the Budget Deficit. Insure 32 million more people, and save money too! The even more remarkable spectacle is that Washington seems to be taking this claim seriously in advance of the House's Repeal vote next week. Some things in politics you just can't make up. Terminating Trillions of dollars in future spendin...
