Congress Acts
[Wednesday] night the House of Representatives, on a largely party-line vote, passed legislation repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood. It has passed bills to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood on several occasions. But in previous years, these bills have died in the Senate. What is different this time is that the repeal/defund legislation already passed the new Republican Senate under special rules that prevent filibusters. With the House's approval, both chambers of Congress are now on the record in favor of repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood. The bill is now headed to Barack Obama's desk.
Congress's Role in Repeal: Won and Done
President Obama could never undo his pro-abortion legacy — but this week, Congress is giving him an opportunity to try. In perhaps one of the single greatest accomplishments of the last seven years, Republicans managed their first-ever, dual-chamber rebuke of Planned Parenthood and ObamaCare. After more than 60 tries, Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wisc.) party celebrated the victory at a special signing ceremony of the Restoring Americans' Health Care Freedom Act this afternoon.
Planned Parenthood and the Profits of Doom
If anyone's anxious to turn the page on 2015, it's Planned Parenthood. Rocked by more scandals than any organization not named the IRS, it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for Cecile Richards's group since David Daleiden pulled back the curtain on the organization's trafficking in baby organs. With videos of her sinister side business in the double digits, it's only by the Obama administration's crass indifference that the group has survived this long.
GOP House: Resolved to Reconcile
Christmas may be gone, but Scrooge is still here! Much to our disappointment, Congress passed a massive funding bill before leaving town for Christmas that continued the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and the farce of the "Affordable" Care Act. When conservatives cried foul, Republicans pointed out they didn't have the 60 Senate votes they needed to end Americans' forced partnership with Planned Parenthood.
Four Stars for Honesty
Actor Samuel L. Jackson is no shrinking violet when it comes to sharing his thoughts about current events. He had a lot to say recently about the 2016 campaign, which was exactly what you might expect from a Hollywood liberal. But his remarks about the San Bernardino shootings were also very revealing.
Planned Parenthood Killer: The Antithesis of Pro-Life
Robert Dear is no "warrior for the babies."
How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sharia?
The word "contentious" doesn't begin to describe the American immigration debate over the last two decades. But in recent days, the lines are being redrawn — and with it, the national conversation. The focus is no longer being dominated by illegal immigration south of Texas but "legal" immigration coming from across the Atlantic, where a bold new enemy is exposing weaknesses in the West's tolerance.
A Not-So-Murray Christmas for Libs
The only package pro-lifers cared about this Christmas was the budget reconciliation one. And thanks to the hard work of conservatives in the House and Senate, they got it! In the early evening [Thursday], Americans celebrated the first major victory against Planned Parenthood and ObamaCare since the GOP took control of Congress. After weeks of late nights and procedural gymnastics, the Senate delivered its most stinging rebuke of the president's favorite twin pillars of policy: his signature health care law and favorite abortion business. With one more vote than they needed, the GOP is a small step away from sending the Restoring Americans' Health Care Freedom Reconciliation Act to the president's desk, where the responsibility for the failure of ObamaCare and nation's complicity in abortion's barbarism will ultimately rest.
Blame for Planned Parenthood Killings Rests With Shooter Alone
"No more baby parts." As of this writing, that statement by Robert Lewis Dear is the only evidence that the "Planned Parenthood shooter" in Colorado Springs, Colo., was motivated by anti-abortion rhetoric. Dear's comment came amid a rambling interview that left law enforcement officials unsure what his motivations were.
When Pro-Abortion Mantras Trump Facts
Three people were killed and nine were injured when Robert Lewis Dear opened fire at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After capturing the shooter, the authorities resisted identifying a motive for Dear's attacks, because they didn't have one. Early reporting based on interviews with his recent neighbors in North Carolina turned up nothing. "If you talked to him, nothing with him was very cognitive," said neighbor James Russell to CBSNews.com. "Two topics Russell said he never heard Dear talk about were religion or abortion." The Washington Post found the same: "The neighbors said they never saw Dear with a gun, and they never heard him speak about politics or abortion rights."
Grape Waste Leads to Fund Raisin
Who says Christmas only comes once a year? According to Senator James Lankford (R-Okla), taxpayers have been giving all year long. They just didn't know it! And now thanks to his new "Wastebook," Americans are finding out just how generous they were forced to be. Taking the handoff from long-time waste-watcher Senator Tom Coburn, Lankford's new "Federal Fumbles" tackles pricy projects that cheated taxpayers in 2015. As always, this year's top 100 projects will have you laughing at someone's expense — yours!
The Abuse of Colorado Springs
The murderous rampage at a Colorado Springs, Colorado, Planned Parenthood clinic had barely ended before the left began using it to try to shut down the abortion debate. The shooting was an act of terrorism directed against women's "health-care services," and incited by the inflammatory rhetoric around video exposes of Planned Parenthood. The triple murder had been nearly inevitable given, in the words of Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, the "toxic" environment created by "hateful rhetoric."
