President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign “plans to spend every day until November 5” hammering the issue of abortion and painting former President Donald Trump and Republicans as extreme, the Washington Post reported. Biden campaign officials reportedly see abortion as a “potential silver bullet” and hope the issue will “mobilize their core voters, bring disaffected voters back into the fold, and make inroads with voters whom Democrats have often struggled to win,” White House reporter Tyler Pager wrote, noting that the tactic comes as many Americans are worried about Biden’s age and inflation, which “threatens to hurt his reelection.” "There is...

This week former President Donald Trump announced that "my position on abortion is that we should follow the Supreme Court's ruling that the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution leaves the power to determine whether abortions are legal up to the states. Given the strongly held differences on this issue, it is obvious that there is no consensus among voters. Under these circumstances, the best resolution is to use the 'laboratory of democracy' created by our federal system to try out different approaches in different states." The New York Times complained that "Trump chose politics over principles. Every enlightened thinker...

On today's CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt danced on the latest media party line, that Donald Trump can't pose as a "moderate" on abortion now after appointing Supreme Court justices that repealed Roe vs. Wade. But then Hunt unleashed a series of pro-abortion messages, airing for free 30 seconds of a new Biden-Harris campaign ad, as well as an ad for Democrat Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky, and a teary interview with Texas native Kate Cox from NBC News. The Biden ad, in which a sobbing Amanda Zurawski displays a tiny blanket for her child, ended with this blunt...

By forming the Supreme Court majority that would finally reverse Roe v. Wade and restore the right of the people and their elected representatives to protect unborn children and their mothers in the law, President Trump can truly be called the most consequential pro-life president in history. ... Since the 2022 midterms, however, a narrative has taken hold that the life issue costs Republicans elections and is better left to the states, anyway – a narrative that threatens this great accomplishment. With policy platforms suddenly having very real consequences, many candidates became fearful, listened to consultants and opted for the...

UConn has notched a notable double: back-to-back NCAA men's basketball championships. But that achievement pales in comparison to the quintuple-header that Joe Scarborough has pulled off. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough slammed, for what he called their radicalism on abortion: "old, fat, white men in Mississippi."Let's see: in one phrase, Scarborough managed to engage in ageism, fat-shaming, racism, sexism, and negative Southern stereotyping! Even for the liberal media, that could represent a landmark first! Somewhere, Joy Reid is dying of envy! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer criticized his colleagues on the high court over their interpretation of the Constitution. The former justice, who retired in 2022, is set to release a book titled Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism, laying out an argument critiquing the methods used by many Republican-appointed justices to interpret the Constitution. “Recently, major cases have come before the court while several new justices have spent only two or three years at the court,” Breyer said in the book, according to the New York Times. “Major changes take time, and there are many years...

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough told a tale of attending a family gathering for his last birthday, and that his family members there were "all Republicans. All pro-life. All evangelicals." And yet, were they really "pro-life"? According to Scarborough, 30 minutes into the gathering, one relative raised the anedcote of a woman in Texas who was bleeding out because the doctor wouldn't perform an abortion. And that in turn led to "these people, these Republicans, these pro-lifers, these Southern Baptists, these evangelicals, had one horror story after another horror story about what terminating Roe v. Wade was doing to human...

E. Jean Carroll, who just won $83.3 million in damages in her defamation trial against former President Donald Trump, allegedly said that she supported Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh out of a desire to protect Roe v. Wade. Tara Reade, the woman who accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault during the #MeToo movement, posted screenshots of her alleged September 2021 direct messages with Carroll, in which Carroll allegedly said: “Tara, I tweeted about Dr. Ford because of Brett Kavanaugh’s blowtorching of Roe v. Wade. Some day you and I must have tea...

Donald Trump on Wednesday weighed in again on abortion access when asked to clarify his stance on the issue, saying he was for exceptions to bans and that it was important in order to win elections. "We're living in a time when there has to be a little bit of a concession one way or the other," the former president and 2024 candidate said during a Fox News town hall, which he participated in instead of the latest GOP primary debate. "You have to win elections," Trump also said. "Otherwise, you're going to be back where you were, and you...

Over 1-in-4 women who considered an abortion have instead chosen instead to take their pregnancy to term in states where protections for the unborn were enacted following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The data, found in a study by the left-wing Institute of Labor Economics, only covers the first six-months of 2023 but signals to pro-life activists their efforts to save unborn lives is making progress – despite set-backs at the ballot box in the 2022 and 2023 elections.While pro-life Americans might see the new data as a positive development, Middlebury College professor Caitlin Myers –...

Conservative legal minds and U.S. Senators are lauding former President Donald Trump for his appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court that cast critical votes ending racial bias in college admissions a year after they helped reverse Roe v. Wade. In a statement to Breitbart News on Wednesday, Judicial Crisis Network President Carrie Severino called the current iteration of the court the “best in living memory” and lauded the 45th president’s appointments. “This is the best Supreme Court in living memory, rolling back activist decisions like Roe v. Wade, enforcing Second Amendment rights, and striking down unconstitutional racial preferences,” Severino said....

Wade, pro-lifers nationwide are rejoicing the move that returned the abortion issue to the states.

As armed rebels with the Wagner Group stage a potential coup in Russia, President Joe Biden once again fails to show up on the global stage. According to sources, Biden has been briefed on the situation in Russia and is “closely monitoring” developments. However, it is worth noting the President has yet to comment— a pattern he demonstrates repeatedly regarding foreign policy issues. Biden has, however, tweeted endlessly about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, attacking “MAGA Republicans” for restricting “freedoms by dictating the health care decisions a woman can make.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on...

Zeestephen is a Washington state resident. Yesterday, I received a mass email from Patty Murray in regard to legal abortions as health care. I clicked on every link in her website, but the email is NOT posted there. I have cut and pasted Murray's entire email in Comment #1. Patty Murray appears to be the Democratic Party point person on the abortion issue. Her email to constituents is a political blueprint for the 2024 election.

Vice President Kamala Harris mistakenly credited a nonexistent federal agency with approving mifepristone in 2000, the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion regimen. While speaking with Noticias Telemundo’s Vanessa Hauc in an interview that aired on Friday, Harris said the “Federal Drug Administration” is responsible for approving the abortion pill, Fox News reported. While the agency is not real, it would have the same abbreviation as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which did approve mifepristone:

Boston, Mass., Mar 28, 2023 / 08:13 am An arrest has been made in the March 16 act of vandalism committed at a pro-life pregnancy center in Amherst, New York, the same clinic that was seriously damaged in an arson attack in June 2022.

MADISON, Wis. – Eight months after someone threw two Molotov cocktails into Wisconsin Family Action’s office in Madison, the group’s president is feeling optimistic a cash incentive from the feds will lead to some answers. The FBI is one of three agencies investigating the attack, and on Thursday they announced they would be offering up to $25,000 for information leading to the conviction of whoever is responsible.

A Wisconsin man was identified from DNA pulled from a partially eaten burrito and arrested in the firebombing of an anti-abortion lobbying group’s office last year, prosecutors said. The man, Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, of Madison, Wis., was arrested at Logan International Airport in Boston on Tuesday, according to the office of the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin in Madison.
