Dr. Jane Orient, Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, wrote about recent health care legislation: “The bills passed by the House and the Senate eliminate a vast array of choices that many Americans prefer, such as low-cost insurance. But the most precious choice they destroy is the right to choose life: the right to choose not to support abortion in any way. Not financially, with taxes or premiums. And not by providing hands, facilities, referrals, prescriptions, or permission to perform or enable this “procedure.”

There’s no shortage of disagreement concerning the California marriage amendment trial. But one point is beyond dispute: it is costing a fortune. Examined on Day 4: financial pros and cons of allowing counterfeit marriage, discrimination and acceptance issues relative to homosexual behavior.

The latest Suffolk University poll finds Republican Scott Brown leading Democrat Martha Coakley 50-46% in the Massachusetts U.S. Senate special election. If Brown wins next week, it will generate a huge political earthquake in Washington D.C.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and whoever agrees with her definitely have their priorities straight. Instead of trying to play the socialist government thug by regulating and restricting the pay of executives of private companies, the government should instead chop the bonuses of the government financial institutions that were at the heart of the 2008 financial meltdown: Fannie and Freddie.

Pastors across the country are repenting for the little they’ve been doing to address marriage needs in the church and are committing themselves to no longer stand idly by. The blame for the high divorce rate in the United States, the increasing number of out-of-wedlock births and the falling percentage of adults getting married does not fall on secular society, they say. It falls on the church.

Citizens for Liberty held their monthly evening meeting tonight at the Best Western Ramkota in Rapid City. Speakers included South Dakota Public Utilities Commissioner Dusty Johnson, District 33 state House candidate Elizabeth Kraus Munro, District 30 state Senate candidate Bruce Rampelberg, and Dr. Edward Picardi, a Rapid City surgeon who gave a presentation on the government health care plan being discussed in Congress.

The usual Palin bash-fest at MSNBC this morning saw Mika Brzezinski, in her zeal to hit Palin again, revealed herself as something less than the brightest bulb in the pack. It seems Palin has a considerably better grasp of history surrounding the Founders than does Brzezinski.

Wednesday’s testimony included an attempt to paint opposition to counterfeit marriage as bigotry and discrimination, equating it with racism of the past while minimizing the moral concerns of the majority. Homosexual opposition to Proposition 8 also attempted to delegitimize two of the largest denominations in America.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives on Wednesday rejected a bill that would tightly regulate homsechooling. “After studying this issue for several years I’ve gotten to know homeschoolers, the law, and how the system works and I’m convinced that it is working fine,” said Rep. Barbara Shaw, who has 45 years of teaching experience.

Did Republican Massachusetts U.S. Senate Scott Brown say he’d never heard of the Tea Party movement? Or is he the victim of another “mainstream” media hit job?

Ultrasound technology is credited with an important role in changing attitudes about abortion. If women see images of their unborn children, and are educated about developing life in the womb, they are less likely to abort. 3-D and 4-D imaging are providing the most realistic look ever at life in the womb.

It didn’t take long for the Regulators to get started. In South Dakota’s 2010 legislative session, we already have a bill going after the “unregulated” (read: not under the thumb of government) daycare situations where more than 12 unrelated children are cared for. They must be brought into Big Brother’s fold or face criminal charges.

From denominations and mission agencies to broadcasters and foreign governments, groups and individuals are responding to the devastation in Haiti with an outpouring of aid, on-site efforts, and calls for prayer and donation. Meanwhile, officials fear that the death toll from Haiti’s devastating earthquake could reach into the tens of thousands, with some saying a toll of 100,000 and even 500,000 is possible

The Proposition 8 trial in federal court in California could threaten state constitutional amendments protecting marriage, if our unreliable court system were to decide to push counterfeit marriage on the people.

Less than half of Christians in the largest Presbyterian denomination in the country believe Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, a new survey reveals. Among members, only 43 percent disagree or strongly disagree that “all the world’s religions are equally good ways of helping a person find ultimate truth.”

In our modern culture which is spiraling downward into decay, the “salt and light” of genuine Christianity could really make a difference. Unfortunately too many people are led astray and anesthetized by “bait and switch Christianity.”

In Day 2 of the Proposition 8 trial over marriage and democracy in California, aspects of marriage were discussed including removal of race restrictions that some states had imposed for a time, lessening of sex-specific gender roles in marriage, and allowing no-fault divorce.

The race for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Ted Kennedy between Martha Coakley and Scott Brown is shaping up to be a referendum on Obamacare. Big Pharma and Big Insurance have decided to ignore their clients and throw-in with Big Government on this nation-changing issue. What kind of promises have they gotten from Obama/Pelosi/Reid to take what would seem to be such a huge risk? And how much will they cost us?

The race for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat vacated by the late Ted Kennedy is getting pretty rough. Last night, as Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack attempted to ask Democrat Martha Coakley about her “no terrorists in Afghanistan” comment, Democrat operative Michael Meehan appears to have shoved him to the ground.

The Texas State Board of Education on Wednesday begins hearing testimonies regarding proposed revisions to the social studies curriculum. Much of the debate has centered on proposals highlighting the religious beliefs of the nation’s founding fathers.

Survivors of a massive earthquake that struck Haiti on Tuesday face “untold suffering,” warns Christian Aid. Thousands are feared dead following the 7.0 magnitude quake which struck 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince just before 5 p.m. local time. Buildings across the capital were toppled, including the presidential palace and the headquarters of the UN mission in Haiti.

A powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Tuesday, collapsing a number of buildings and filling the capital city of Port-au-Prince with clouds of dust and smoke, according to initial reports.

Sarah Palin made her debut last night on Fox News as a contributor. She talked with Bill O’Reilly about the accusations by liberal elitists like John Heilemann who peddled the typical liberal lies about her such as “She’s stupid.”

Sarah Palin, who was virtually unknown to Americans before 2008, believed her selection as the Republican vice presidential candidate of Sen. John McCain was “God’s plan,” said a top political strategist for the McCain presidential campaign.

A federal trial over California’s voter-approved marriage definition opened Monday with some unexpected questioning from the judge during the opening statements followed by the personal stories of the two gay couples behind the landmark case.
