The truth is a funny thing. Once it's let loose to confront and challenge and change, you can't unknow it. That's horrible news for Democrats, who've spent the last three weeks desperately trying to interrupt America's attack of conscience on abortion.
It's been two and a half years since Hillary Clinton lost the election. And based on her latest talking points, she still doesn't have a single clue why. The same extremism that turned off voters in 2016 is back, reminding Americans what kind of country they'd have if the woman who made late-term abortion her closing argument for president had won.
Rep. Roger Marshall (R-Kans.) isn't the only one asking himself, "What's happened to our nation when the president of the United States has to ask legislators to save babies from being murdered?" Overwhelming majorities of pro-choicers are just as startled as he is.
She was a classically-trained pianist, an up-and-coming real estate agent, but above all, a "sweetheart," her neighbors said. The news that she'd been dragged from her apartment February 3rd and brutally stabbed was devastating to everyone who knew her. At just 35, Jennifer Irigoyen was gone — a victim, not just of a grisly and horrifying murder, but of New York's expansive late-term abortion law too.
Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) has had a few days to think about her decision to become the new face of the Democrats' infanticide agenda.
Seventy-two percent of Americans don't believe the media — and based on the reporting about New York's abortion law, there's no reason to start now.
The liberal media doesn't get much right these days — including, it turns out, their review of Tuesday night's State of the Union.
Years from now, when history looks back on the Democratic Party, one date will almost certainly stand out: July 25, 2016. That was the Tuesday, in the capital of the Revolution, when everything changed. For the first time in America's 240 years, a major political party threw its full support behind one of the most savage and violent practices of the modern age: full-term, no-apologies abortion.
She sat in the dirty utility room, rocking him back and forth. He was tiny, barely 10 inches long when the doctors delivered him. His parents didn't want to hold him, she was told. So for 45 minutes — the only 45 minutes he would have on earth — Jill cradled him, watching his chest rise and fall.
Parents used to worry about "peer pressure" encouraging their kids to experiment with alcohol or drugs, or to have sex. Now, they have to worry that it may encourage their kids (especially daughters) to change sex altogether.
Virginia's abortion-up-until-birth bill (HB 2491) may be dead, but the matter is far from resolved as Virginians — and Americans all across the country — have been awakened by the Left's abortion blitz.
Just 28 days ago, Nancy Pelosi claimed the Speaker's gavel and promised that her House would be "bipartisan and unifying." What have we seen since?
Yesterday, the Pakistan Supreme Court thankfully rejected a petition seeking to revisit the acquittal of Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who had been convicted of blasphemy and spent eight years on death row before being exonerated by that country's high court in October of last year.
For 40 years, America has had one of the most extreme abortion laws on the planet.
The reality of what New York has just done is starting to settle over the country like an uneasy fog.
It should have been blood red, like a warning. Crimson, like a siren — or STOP. Instead, the spire of New York's One World Trade Center was lit up in it's-a-girl pink, a 408-foot reminder that the law it celebrated will mean fewer daughters, fewer mothers, fewer chances.
Under normal circumstances, the kids at Covington Catholic would be cheering the extra day off. But Tuesday's decision to cancel classes was not a moment anyone celebrated. It was a reminder that no one in the tight-knit community is safe. Least of all the children.
It's hard enough to be the president under normal circumstances. But try doing it while others are constantly trying to usurp your constitutional authority. That's the position Donald Trump's been in for two whole years. Every time he acts, the courts react — at best, putting his policies on hold. At worst, refusing to consider them. Yesterday, finally, one set of justices got it right — but the White House had to go all the way to the top to find them.
It would have been a bitterly cold day to visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial, but plenty did. Bundled up on a deceptively sunny day, they took advantage of the park's re-opening, a rare gift in the midst of the longest government shutdown. One by one, they stopped to look up at the civil rights leader, who stands now as he did then: unflinching in the winds.
There will always be some quiet symmetry to the March for Life falling so closely to the day we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. In so many ways, their cause is the same -- the struggle against a deep and painful injustice.
