It may sound like a scenario from a super-secret nuclear contingency plan, but a silent killer has eliminated a population equal to that of America's 60 largest cities. Forty-eight and a half million Americans have vanished without a trace! According to Dennis Howard, who heads The Movement for a Better America, "that's not some imaginary nuclear contingency plan. It is in fact the cumulative impact of nearly 34 years of abortion on demand.” MT. FREEDOM, NJ - September 29, 2006 -- It may sound like a scenario from a super-secret nuclear contingency plan, but a silent killer has already eliminated...

RUSH: Apparently Air America is going to file for bankruptcy this week or next. They'll continue to operate, but I knew that was coming. I've been hearing the rumblings. They're financially bankrupt. They've been morally bankrupt since they started, before they started, but financially bankrupt -- and now the Drive-By Media is just having sort of like a Vagina Monologue moment here with the announcement that Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda and Rosie O'Donnell have mounted a radio talk show network to challenge me. One of the stories here -- I've gotta find this, get the right determination here because...

Al-Maliki was interrupted briefly by a shouting demonstrator wearing a pink T-shirt that read, "Troops Home Now." The young woman was lifted from her seat by officers and carried out of the House visitor's gallery, while al-Maliki paused and grimaced in irritation.

But don't question theirs (gallon-sized hat tip: Coalition of the Swilling)... The Chicks can't hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. "A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do," says Robison. "A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism." "The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism,"...

Most of Mrs. Bush's humor at the correspondents' dinner was just right: Edgy but not over the edge. But I think the stripper and horse jokes were totally beneath her. Just put it to the other-shoe test: If it were Teresa Heinz Kerry standing up on the dais telling the same jokes, the conservative commentariat would be buzzing for the rest of the year about what a tasteless skank she is.

On March 31, 2005, thirty years after feminism’s hey-day in the 1970s, a woman died from dehydration, on the orders of her adulterous husband, who was supported by the courts in his quest to end his wife’s life. On February 25, 1990, Theresa Schindler Schiavo collapsed in her home and suffered significant brain damage. In 1992, Mrs. Schiavo’s husband Michael was awarded a $1,050,000 malpractice settlement, of which $300,000 was allocated for Mr. Schiavo’s loss of consortium and $750,000 for Mrs. Schiavo’s rehabilitative care. Mr. Schiavo subsequently refused to allow rehabilitative care for his wife. There are other reasons to...

When Brooklyn gunshot survivor Yolanda Taylor was invited to a recent Mothers Against Guns gala as an honoree, she never dreamed she'd be stiffed out of her complimentary commemorative journal — certainly not one that cost her friends $200, she says. Nor did she imagine she'd be erroneously "honored" for losing a loved one — in front of Mayor Bloomberg, no less — rather than for living to tell her story. But that's what Taylor says happened at Antun's Reception Hall in Queens on March 4, the 15th anniversary of her shooting. Now she says she's "disgusted" by the behavior...

Today is a special day. It’s the 75-year anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s famous “salt march.” On March 12, 1930, Gandhi began a 240-mile march to nonviolently resist the British tax on salt and move India closer to independence from British rule. Gandhi changed India and the world, with his relentless, nonviolent struggle for peace and justice. (For more on Gandhi’s life, click here.)Today is also important because it begins our 7-day countdown to the March 19 worldwide day of protest against the Iraq war. Next Saturday, people throughout the world will raise our voices on the two-year anniversary of the US...

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 Homosexuality: What would Jesus do?Posted: November 9, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern By Joseph Farah © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Patricia Ireland, former president of the National Organization of Women, raised what probably sounded like a good question to some recently. She asked during a debate on the Fox News Channel: "If ... lesbian and gay rights issues were such a serious kind of value, a core value, why did Jesus never talk about them?" Of course, the answer is that homosexuals have no special rights that distinguish what they do and who they are. They have only the same rights...

BOSTON -- Sen. John Kerry's sister assured a rally of feminist Democrats here yesterday that her brother will name several pro-choice justices to the Supreme Court if elected president.     "There are three things my brother is going to do when he's elected president," Peggy Kerry told a Boston event held yesterday at the Harvard Club by the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the Feminist Majority.     Mr. Kerry will restore $34 billion to the United Nation's population fund for family planning, she pledged, and the Democrat will make sure that "CEDAW," an international treaty to eliminate discrimination against women, is...

Pro-abortion group NARAL is using women serving in the military overseas to spread their abortion agenda. In a message to supporters last week, NARAL asked its members to "support our troops" by helping to "protect servicewomen's rights abroad." Appealing to people who believe having an abortion is their constitutional right, NARAL expressed concern that female members of the military are not being allowed to have abortions while they are serving on behalf of their country overseas. "The thousands of women serving abroad in our military are being denied their freedoms, even as they are fighting to defend ours," NARAL contended...

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Does movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger have a problem with women? Although Schwarzenegger's run for governor of California has excited many voters tired of conventional politicians such Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites), some are complaining the actor's past statements and behavior toward women cast doubts about his character. In the latest distraction from Schwarzenegger's official message of a "people's revolution" to retake Sacramento in an Oct. 7 recall vote, a group of women announced they would picket the former bodybuilder's campaign headquarters on Friday to protest what they call his misogynist views and crude behavior...
