Like a big lump of clay, Teddy Kennedy is being worked and reworked into an immortal. The mainstream media and other liberal apologists are seeing to the handiwork. They even want us to believe that Kennedy was squared with his Catholicism. But how could he be? He was unapologetically pro-abortion. Time magazine gave it go, though. It published an article last week about Kennedy's "quiet Catholic faith." For a man so vocal about many things, he certainly did keep quiet about his faith. And with good reason. Egregious apostasy was Teddy's way. On every major abortion vote, the late Senator...

State Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer, the leading Democratic candidate for governor, vowed Thursday to "do everything in my power" to preserve women's access to abortion in New York if the newly configured U.S. Supreme Court moves to reopen the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. He also spoke in favor of improving adoption services and prenatal care for pregnant women, and a better dialogue with abortion foes on how to curb unwanted pregnancies. "There are people of good will with deep moral and religious beliefs who oppose abortion," Spitzer said in a speech at New York Law School. "They are...

The nation's most prominent pro-choice spokeswoman blasted Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for giving $10,000 to right-to-life Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey and accused the former first lady of "putting politics over principle." "When push comes to shove, at certain times, [Clinton] will support the party even if that choice does not reflect all their standards and principles," Kate Michelman, former longtime head of NARAL Pro-Choice America, told The Post. Clinton, a darling of the pro-choice community, is taking heat from the activist for giving the maximum donation allowable under law to pro-life Senate hopeful Casey through her political committee, HillPAC.

The National Right to Life (NRLC) held its 33rd annual convention last June 16-18, drawing hundreds of attendees from across the nation. The event has been traditionally characterized by a focus on pro-life perspectives concerning abortion, but was heavily influenced this year by the recent debacle of Terri Schiavo. In the case of Schiavo, the issue at stake was whether or not a person unable to communicate could be kept alive through extreme measures and under what circumstances. In the end, support for Schiavo was pulled and she died of dehydration. A medical examiner recently found in an autopsy that...

When Janet Napolitano gives her speech at the 2004 National Democratic Convention, she won't talk about the one health care issue that millions of Americans prefer did not exist. She will not talk about her extremist support for abortion. Now, I'm not simply talking about the standard "I'm in favor of everyone's right to choose to have an abortion" position. And I'm not even talking about the strident NOW or NARAL "we must keep abortion legal and prevent judges from overturning Roe v. Wade” position. No, I'm speaking about support for abortion that extends to her efforts, while Arizona’s Attorney...
