Continue reading "Keep This One Thing in Mind When You Vote This November"By Dave Andrusko Once upon a time pro-abortion editorial pages, such as the Richmond [Va.] Times-Dispatch, could console themselves with the illusion that Democrats really did sort of, kind of actually believe that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare.” As many of our readers will recall this was the rhetorical flourish pro-abortion to the …
Continue reading "Pro-abortion editorial page laments “Democratic extremism on abortion”"By Dave Andrusko The headline in the Las Vegas Review-Journal read, “No drama at Nevada Republicans’ two-day state convention.” It was an allusion to reporter Sandra Chereb’s description of the GOP convention held in Reno to choose the 30 delegates who will attend the National Republican Convention in July in Cleveland . It could have …

It seems as if we’ve been in election mode for an eternity. That said, there’s still much to do on behalf of the babies. Yet to come are 16 states which have presidential primaries, 34 states …
