MSNBC's Nancy Snyderman and NOW President Terry O'Neill discuss anti-choice lawmakers and the Stupak Coat-hanger Amendment, in the video clip below. The women agree that the IRS should investigate the undue influence of Catholic bishops on Congress. Meanwhile, Stupak is huffing and puffing that there will be "hell to pay" if his amendment does not survive. Stupak will have his own hell to...
Devvy -- Health Care: Tell the Senate NO, we will sue -- 11/12/09 Past and present members of Congress and cabinet members, have made it perfectly clear the U.S. Constitution means nothing. It is merely a prop and no longer of any concern to them. Here are but a few examples: "The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress are irrelevant...America's domestic policy is now being run by...
Not that Obama & Co. are the only players here. Clinton and Bush helped. But here's the Obama part . Last year, federal Judge Royce Lambert ruled that the Executive Office of the President (EOP) is covered under the Privacy Act. In that decision, Lambert tartly added that “... this court holds that under the Privacy Act, the word ‘agency’ includes the Executive Office of the President...
A lot is at stake here. If Obamacare goes through, if it has a hidden abortion funding mandate in it (if, for example, it requires health insurance plans to cover abortions), we will even more deeply divide our wounded country over abortion. "What they seek is that we shall cease calling it wrong." That's what Lincoln said at Cooper Union in 1860. He knew that the extreme advocates of slavery...
Arizona hits the asset forfeiture jackpot The Arizona Department of Public Safety, which includes the Highway Patrol, is making much fuss about two roadside stops last week that resulted in the seizure of over $150,000 in cash that was being transported in the vehicles. The money was taken on suspicion that it was the proceeds of criminal activity, and the two drivers have been booked on money laundering...
The following is a reprint of the speech that Illinois Congressman, Henry Hyde, gave on the floor of the House of Representatives on September 19, 1996. We would do well to remind ourselves that some of the most defenseless of our brothers and sisters still aren’t afforded “liberty and justice for all.” Hyde gave an [...]
Washington D.C., Oct 12, 2009 / 07:03 pm (CNA).- Twice last week White House spokesman Robert Gibbs stated that federally funded abortions will not be included in the government's health care reform due to the Hyde Amendment, a statement which is in direct opposition to two recent letters sent to Congress by the U.S. Catholic bishops. CNA reported that last Wednesday, Gibbs claimed that the Hyde Amendment...
The late Jim McFadden, National Review ’s former Associate Publisher, founded the Human Life Review in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s Roe monstrosity, and for 35(!) years his mighty quarterly has been the place for thoughtful discussion of abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, and all other life issues, from the pens of Clare Booth Luce, Malcolm Muggeridge, John T. Noonan, James L....
In 1976, the Hyde Amendment went into effect, banning the use of Federal funds to pay for abortions except to save the mother from an immediate threat to her life. The measure was named for its author, Congressman Henry Hyde. Abortion advocates had been keening from the moment the Hyde Amendment was up for vote. They painted a ghastly picture of coathanger-impaled women littering the streets as poor...
Now passed away U.S. Congressman Henry Hyde hailed proudly from DuPage County, Illinois. He would have wanted us to do all we could to stop the slaughter of unborn children with taxpayer dollars. Sadly, the Hyde Amendment is ignored with...
Congress can come up with some really messed up nomenclature. Orrin Hatch is prattling on-and-on about 'non-Hyde abortions.' It's a reference to the Hyde Amendment. In its current form, the Hyde Amendment looks like this, and it applies to all federal funding: None of the funds appropriated under this Act shall be expended for any abortion except when it is made known to the federal entity or official...
The fetus-like Paul Begala : 'thanks, pukes!' -- ”As good as Obama was, the Republicans may have helped him more than he helped himself. Just as Bill Clinton was blessed by cartoon-character enemies like Ken Starr and Henry Hyde, the face of GOP opposition to Obamacare tonight was some Congressclown named Joe Wilson from South Carolina. Between Mr. Wilson calling our President a liar and the...
The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation wants to set the record straight about claims by Barack Obama that his health-care reform plan does not cover taxpayer-funded abortions. The group issued the following release in response to statements Obama made during a nationally televised address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday: President Barack Obama is misleading the American public by claiming...
Deja vu for me! Revelations about the real Bob McDonnell harken me back to the time in 2005 and pealing back the stinky layers that was onion named " Dick Black ". Virginia's long-time progressives are also having a huge "I told you so" moment as well. Hopefully, Bob McDonnell's 1989 Regent University thesis featured A1 in yesterday's Washington Post (and A1 as a reprint in yesterday's...
Salon.com has forged a reputation as a willing mudslinger for Democratic White House publicists. In the Clinton era, it famously ripped Clinton adversaries Dan Burton and Henry Hyde as adulterers. They also ran sex columnist Dan Savage's 2000 article about how he got sick and licked all of then-presidential candidate Gary Bauer's door knobs to infect him. Another attack is about to unfold against...
