If these were special Moslem hospitals, all the stops would be pulled out to ensure that the beliefs of the hospital administrators and staff were respected, accommodated, and handled with the utmost cultural sensitivity. After all, NYC now has publicly-funded Arabic schools.

“Pro-abortion forces are emboldened by the rise of Obama, a pro-abortion fanatic and the most extreme abortion advocate ever to run for president.”

“Obama has spent a scant two years in the Senate but served eight years at the Illinois capitol in Springfield.
During that time, Obama voted AGAINST (emphasis mine) a bill that received national attention and would protect babies born alive after botched abortions.”

Here’s a story while Eliot Spitzer was A.G.:
“The abortion empire strikes back
By Michelle Malkin
Friday, January 11, 2002
New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, a loyal water boy for pro-abortion groups, has launched a crackdown on crisis pregnancy centers.
This is a direct assault on the front lines of compassionate conservatism. An estimated 3,000 crisis pregnancy centers offer abortion alternatives nationwide. Most are non-profit and affiliated with Catholic charities. Radical feminists, who push abortion as the only acceptable choice, call these life-affirming pregnancy centers “deceptive.” The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) sells a guide to sabotaging the centers’ missionary work.
Spitzer, a Democrat, promised NARAL three years ago that his tax-subsidized “reproductive rights unit,” staffed by abortion activists, would carry on the campaign. He delivered.
According to Chris Slattery, the founder of Expectant Mother Care, which provides the most comprehensive crisis pregnancy services in New York City, Spitzer issued subpoenas last Friday to pregnancy resource centers in Staten Island and Manhattan demanding documents related to their services. Spitzer’s office refused to provide me with any information on his legal maneuvering, but more subpoenas are expected. Spitzer’s move “is a triple attack on the First Amendment — on our freedom of assembly, religion and speech,” Slattery told me.

So true, sadly.
Ping, and this can happen in ANY state.
I imagine closing the Catholic hospitals in New York would cripple the health care system. But what would the “steamroller” care about that?
I saw a beautiful, tiny baby at Mass today. obama and spitzer say it’s alright to kill children like her.
It’s too bad that pro-life anti baby killing policy leaders can’t learn from the liberals in “Tobacco/Sheeple Control” and from the succesful campaign on drunk driving.
The goal should be to “reduce public tolerance” for baby killing. Incrementalism, public service announcements, social engineering to change thoughts and behaviors and attitude.
It works.
Instead, we are losing 34-2 in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 outs and nobody on. We’re trying to hit a 33 run homer to win the game with SCOTUS justices.
Take a page out of the liberal playbook on Tobacco Control. It won’t change things tomorrow morning, but it will work eventually.
I saw a great giant billboard on the highway. It showed a cute newborn baby girl with the caption “Kill her today, it’s murder. Kill her yesterday, it’s abortion.”
That’s what needs to be done to change the culture.

Please, please, at least get the man’s name right. It’s Spitler. Rhymes with . . .
Especially pray for the State of New York.
New York reaps what they sow. They elect liberals to govern them, this is the result. A cesspool of depravity and devaluing of life.
You make good points, but by your very example, you are showing that such efforts are being made. And I think such awareness is spreading. Minds before laws.
For me, seeing the ultrasound of my first child at 8 weeks gestation, when she was in my wife's womb and had a heartbeat and four limbs and a face and head, it hit home personally that it was a tiny developing human being. not that I wasnt already prolife and knew these things, but it became personal not just intellectual fact for me. It's hard not to see the truth of the pro-life position after you've seen an ultrasound of a developing preborn human aka fetus. Make a 60 second ad of that and let America watch it and minds will change.
You and me both. I was probably a libertarian pro-choice sort until I heard my son’s heartbeat at 5 weeks gestation for the first time 7 years ago.
He’s a scary man. Ice cold. I can’t imagine why he was voted in. We need a GOOD conservative next time around. One who is pro life and has good values. Anybody out there????
