... status quo. The last really great article politically I remember was a circa 2005 piece by Hadley Arkes describing in detail all the simple, executive-branch decisions Bush 43 could make to be more pro-life in his second term. I don’t remember any of them coming to pass. The magazine seemed content with “its the mediocrity of our guy, but at least it’s our guy.” First Things was always...

Behold, pro-life Democracy (capital D) at its finest: This is the strongest, pluckiest pro-life Democrat in the Congress, and it turns out his position is: I'm going to vote against abortion funding until the moment I vote for it.

Even though only 13% of Americans support federal abortion funding --because even "pro-choicers" don't think a private "choice" should be funded as a public good-- the Congressional committees have refused to allow amendments cutting off funding to come to a vote. What the media have not understood is that the removal of...
