DOVER, DE, January 8, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An abortionist who ran a “meat-market” style Planned Parenthood facility – singing hymns to Jesus while performing abortions with unsterilized equipment on bloody tables – has been fined $1,500 and given a letter of reprimand. The Delaware Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline decided on Tuesday to accept a consent agreement that Dr. Timothy Liveright signed in November.

Delaware lawmakers introduced a bill Thursday that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state, with plans to have it signed into law by the end of June. The legislation, which the governor has pledged to sign if passed by lawmakers, was filed a little more than a year after Delaware first began recognizing same-sex civil unions. Critics of the civil union legislation warned at the time that it was simply a precursor to same-sex marriage in Delaware, which could soon join nine other states that have legalized gay marriage. Gov. Jack Markell and Attorney General Beau Biden, both Democrats, joined...

The following letter was sent to the Delaware General Assembly with a copy submitted to the Cape Gazette for publication. We are writing you today to share the voices of 1,500-plus who attended (along with 300 to 400 who were turned away) the 2nd Amendment Freedom Rally this past Sunday in Dover, organized and sponsored by the 9-12 Delaware Patriots and Delaware State Sportsmen's Association on the current gun control issue. We believe in the Delaware Constitution as well as the U.S. Constitution. They define the purposes and limits of government. They are a carefully poured foundation by the founders...

Swatting little Johnny on the bottom to make sure he doesn’t try again to put a fork in an electrical socket soon could make mom or dad a criminal subject to the penalties of child-abuse laws in Delaware. And an international family rights organization says it not only opposes the idea, it will be working with state organizations to try to defeat the plan. At issue is Delaware’s Senate Bill 234, which has been approved by the Senate and now is working its way through the House. “Senate Bill 234, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Patricia Blevins (District 7), creates...

Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden says he’s proud of his father, Vice President Joe Biden, and President Barack Obama for saying gay people should have the right to marry. In an e-mail to supporters Saturday, Beau Biden says allowing same-sex marriage is a question of civil rights and equality. He says “marriage discrimination” results in the government telling people who to love and that denying equal rights is wrong. …

WASHINGTON D.C- Beau Biden, the 41-year-old son of the US Vice President, and Delaware Attorney General, has been hospitalized Tuesday May 11, reports said. The Whitehouse said the eldest son of the Vice President, Joe Biden, was alert and awake with his family by his side, including the VP. “Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden is at Christiana Medical Center undergoing treatment at present,” the vice president’s office said in a statement. “He is alert and awake, and communicating with his parents and his wife, who are with him. We will provide more details as they become available.” The popular figure...

Granted, being a state prosecutor is a tough job, and when a judge turns down your request to seek evidence at a suspect's workplace, that hinders a potential criminal case a great deal. But I'm starting to think we have another reason why Beau Biden didn't seek that Senate seat in Delaware: In December 2008, an investigation into alleged sex crimes by Lewes pediatrician Earl B. Bradley was blocked when a Sussex County Superior Court judge rejected the state's attempt to raid the doctor's office. Dealt a setback, Delaware authorities never took further steps that could have stopped the suspected...

Who is Ms. D. and how did she focus Delaware’s Attorney General on assets of a pervert Pediatrician that would perhaps recompense his innocent victims? Delaware AG Beau Biden that is, son of Joe, who didn’t do his job cause just because your Dad’s a very intelligent lifetime politico doesn’t mean you are good at being an Attorney General. I covered a case about a fine, fine Muslim man who chopped off his wife’s head. Wait till you hear his argument in court as to why he had to do it. You can’t make this stuff up. Betty Broderick didn’t...

Republican hopes of major gains in November's mid-term congressional elections have been boosted by a new report that identified 58 Democratic-held seats in the House of Representatives as vulnerable. A new assessment by the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report has moved a dozen more Democratic seats in the House into the vulnerable column. Now, 58 Democratic-held seats are "in play" compared to just 14 Republican-held seats. And in the latest blow to President Barack Obama's Democrats, Beau Biden, attorney general of Delaware, abandoned plans to run for the Senate seat that his father Vice-President Joe Biden occupied for 36 years until...

Vice President Biden's son Beau announced Monday that he will not run for his father's old Senate seat, leaving the Republican in the race without a Democratic opponent. In a written statement, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden said he had given "serious consideration" to running for Senate but ultimately decided to run for re-election as attorney general. "My first responsibilities are here in Delaware," he said. "Therefore I cannot and will not run for the United States Senate in 2010." His decision only adds to Democrats' problems in defending their Senate majority. Democrats on Tuesday lost the Massachusetts special election...

DOVER, Del. — Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden will not be running for the U.S. Senate seat once held by his father, Vice President Joe Biden.

Democrats have been waiting anxiously to see whether the vice-president’s son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, would run against Rep. Mike Castle for the state’s open Senate seat – something that once seemed like a foregone conclusion. Without Beau in the race, Republicans hold a clear advantage in taking over Joe Biden’s old Senate seat. Now the vice-president is expressing serious doubt that his son will pursue a Senate campaign, in an interview with the Wilmington News-Journal: Biden: "If you run into Beau, talk him into running; he respects you." Q: "I don't think he wants to run, though." Biden:...

Election 2010: The back-to-back Senate retirements of Byron Dorgan and Chris Dodd may be just the beginning. The people have seen the future of health care reform and found it doesn't work. Apres moi, le deluge. We don't know what the Mayan calendar says about 2010, but it's starting to look like the end of the world for Democratic electoral prospects. Americans who watched in shock as government tried to step between them and their doctors, may have the last laugh. The tea party isn't over until the angry mob votes. As rage grew over the attempt to nationalize one-sixth...

Demure Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, but since then has not made many waves. It might, however, be part of a political wave a year from now, thanks to a direct descendent of Benjamin Franklin. The great man's great-great-great-great-great grandson, Mike Castle, 70, a nine-term Delaware congressman, will be next year's Republican nominee for the Senate seat Joe Biden held for 36 years. This and other candidate-recruitment successes make it reasonable for Republicans to hope that in January 2011 the Senate will contain fewer than 60 Democrats. Biden's seat is currently occupied by a former Biden...

After nearly a year-long tour in Iraq, Vice President Joe Biden's son, Joe "Beau" Biden III, said he is "absolutely" considering a run for the Senate seat his father occupied for 36 years. "I'll be making the decision in due course," Biden, 40, told "Good Morning America" today in his first television interview since his return to Delaware last month amid speculation that he would make a bid for the seat.One of a handful of elected officials to serve in Iraq since the U.S. led invasion in 2003, Biden took a leave of absence from his job as Delaware's attorney...
