Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Members of the Democratic caucus in the House sealed their plan to promote abortion and embryonic stem cell research in the next session of Congress as they picked staunch abortion advocates to lead their party. That means pro-abortion lawmakers will set the agenda of the House for the next two years.
Democrats unanimously named pro-abortion California Rep. Nancy Pelosi as the first female Speaker of the House.
Pelosi is a staunch abortion advocate. In the last Congressional session alone, Pelosi compiled a 0 percent pro-life voting record on 10 votes NRLC recorded.
She voted four times against a bill that would help support parental notification laws in over two dozen states, she voted twice to force taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research and voted three times to spend tax money on abortions in the United States and overseas.
Pelosi also refused to support a bipartisan effort to allow Terri Schiavo's parents to take their case to prevent her former husband from killing her to federal courts for a review.
Her career-long effort to keep abortion legal throughout pregnancy and paid for with tax money led to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, finding its newest president.

...That quote is the opening salvo in Pat Buchanan’s column this morning at Townhall.com and, as it should be, the choice of Mel Martinez is also a top story all over the media. Mel Martinez is a Cuban-American, first-term Senator from the state of Florida. Martinez served in President Bush’s cabinet for a while as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, he wrote the legal opinion that got the U.S. Government involved in the Terry Schiavo case, and he is thoroughly checked-out on the key far-right-wing agendas: pro-life, anti-gay rights, anti-stem cell research and the agenda item that sits in the shadows, cloaked in rhetoric — amnesty for illegal aliens.
