Recently (Saturday, June 10th) there was an awesome webcast called Ending Abortion. It’s well worth checking out.
You can download any (or all) of the ten hour-long sessions as an MP3 to your computer or ipod and listen to each at your leisure.
I am responding to the inquiry of a student who wanted to know, in effect, whether it would be desirable to somehow get the government out of the marriage business altogether. Couldn’t we sidestep a lot of the conflict over marriage, by eliminating the default relationship contract currently known as marriage, and allowing any couple or other adult grouping to create any contract they found mutually agreeable?

A new data analysis from the Centers for Disease Control shows, once again, that homosexual intercourse is hazardous to the health:
The Centers for Disease Control recently released information from a data analysis regarding the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Presented at the CDC’s National STD Prevention Conference, the data indicated that the rate of new HIV cases among men who have sex with men (referred to in shorthand as MSM) is over 44 times that of other men.
Has this resulted in loud warnings from the media? Read more…

Ever since the inauguration of President Obama in January 2009, he and his Democratic colleagues have known that abortion would be a key stumbling block to the enactment of health-care reform. There are several reasons for this. First, most Americans oppose government funding of abortion. Second, the Democratic party has recruited many pro-life candidates to run in conservative districts, and these Democrats would find it politically difficult to support health-care reform that includes public subsidies for abortion. Finally, President Obama and other Democrats sound disingenuous when they say they want to reduce the incidence of abortion, but then subsidize it through health-care reform. Read more…
We first reported this travesty here. Now CitizenLink has picked up on it, hopefully spreading the word to millions more people. The welfare rules of the Great Society drove marriage out of the homes of the poor. The health care bill has the potential to drive marriage out of the middle class.
A closer look at premium payments in both the House and Senate health care bills shows higher premiums that might discourage couples from tying the knot. Read more…
Scary! Thanks for pointing this craziness out, Mr. Quist.

A Republican candidate for Congress in Minnesota says “a huge marriage penalty for the American middle class” is hidden in both the House and Senate healthcare bills.
Former Minnesota state legislator Allen Quist points out that two single people each making $30,000 per year would pay $1,320 combined for private health insurance if the Pelosi House bill was in effect now. However, if the two individuals were to marry, they would pay a combined cost of $12,000 a year for the same level of insurance under the Pelosi bill. Read more…

While defenders of unborn life waged a successful battle in the United States House last weekend, winning a provision to exclude abortion coverage from health reform legislation, an international gathering in Spain was defining abortion as “mega-genocide” and pledging to fight harder to protect human life.

Thus sayeth Ray Flynn former Boston mayor and US Ambassador to the Vatican at Politico, quoted on Yahoo.
“They’re looking for an easy way out. And there is no easy way out when it comes to right or wrong or true or false,” said former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, an abortion opponent who served as ambassador to the Vatican during the Clinton administration. “On some of these issues, there’s just no compromise.”
The Democrats having been trying to have it both ways: run “moderate” candidates, from their traditional constituencies, who are pro-life. Flash their Life credentials during the elections, and once safely elected, hog-tie and muzzled them, and keep them on the Abortion Plantation. ‘Cept it didn’t work this time on Rep. Bart Stupak, a Democrat from Michigan, who
reshaped the legislative landscape when he offered an amendment restricting the sale of insurance policies covering abortion through the proposed national health insurance exchange — or to women who receive health care subsidies from the federal government.
Stupak’s proposal, which would also bar any public health insurance plan from covering abortion procedures, passed the House on Saturday over objections from a majority of Democratic lawmakers, who voted against the amendment.
Supporters of abortion rights were outraged — especially House Democratic women, many of whom view Stupak’s legislation as a betrayal of a key Democratic commitment.
Boo-hoo. Face it. The American public does not want to use taxpayer money for abortion. They haven’t wanted that for years. they still don’t want it. And now, the Democratic attempt to nationalize one sixth of the economy has people scared. Every village idiot can see that the greater the governmental control of the funding, the greater the governmental control of the actual decisions of actual patients, physicians and pharmacists.

Just two days before a possible vote on their healthcare bill, Democratic leaders in the House have still refused to include a provision in the legislation that would prohibit taxpayer funding of abortion under a new public health insurance program. Read more…

Every chance he gets, Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak is making a reasoned argument for his amendment to ensure health care legislation won’t require citizens to pay for abortion.
House Democratic leaders introduced their health care plan last week with language, known as the Capps amendment, that would mandate public funding for abortion. Read more…
