Free Republic

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 23, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- One of the nation's largest pro-life groups has defended free speech before America's highest court, arguing that their liberty was inhibited in the 2010 race by an Ohio law restricting speech in election ads. In 2010, the Susan B. Anthony (SBA) List put together an ad it intended to run against then-Rep. Steve Driehaus, D-OH. The ad said Driehaus, who ran as a pro-life Democrat, had voted to fund abortions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by supporting the law. Driehaus defended his vote, saying that President Obama's Executive Order limiting federal funding...

Upset that a prominent pro-life group is named after the pro-life women’s suffragist leader, the pro-abortion group NARAL took to twitter today to attack the Susan B. Anthony List. “Susan B. Anthony would be irate if she knew her name was being used by SBA List to fight AGAINST women’s rights,” NARAL claims, using women’s rights as a euphemism for abortion. However, NARAL’s tweet ignores an article in a newspaper owned for several years after the Civil War by Susan B. Anthony in which she describes abortion as “child murder.” The NARAL claim dismisses other evidence: Anthony remarked in her...

On August 28, 2012 the Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) announced the launch of a $150,000 television ad campaign across Missouri highlighting President Obama's extreme record on abortion and featuring abortion survivor Melissa Ohden. Missouri has recently been at the center of the conversation on abortion. "In light of the recent national discussion over abortion, it's important Americans know the President's best-kept secret: his extreme record on abortion. Melissa Ohden's powerful story draws a stark contrast to his unbending support of abortion and the abortion industry and reveals the human face to this debate." said SBA List President Marjorie...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has an old story that she likes to tell about her days as Speaker of the House: My chair was getting crowded, it begins. She was at her first White House meeting as the first woman Speaker when she found Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul and Sojourner Truth, among others, all sitting in her chair. I could hear them say: 'At last we have a seat at the table.' And then they were gone. It's too bad Anthony wasn't able to stick around long enough to have a conversation about...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) told a recent gathering of the Women’s Political Committee that the spirits of suffragists Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul spoke to her at the White House. Pelosi said she heard them say: “At last we have a seat at the table”. A video recently posted on Youtube shows Pelosi speaking in May describing her first meeting with President Bush in the White House after becoming part of the Democratic House leadership.

First, Mayor Bloomberg went after smoking in public places. Then trans-fats, salt and sugary drinks. Now Bloomberg — known for sipping fine wine and downing a cold beer from time to time — wants to crack down on alcohol sales to curb excessive drinking, according to a provocative planning document obtained by The Post. The city Health Department’s far-reaching Partnership for a Healthier New York City initiatives proposes to slash the number of establishments in the city that sell booze. Community “transformation” grants provided under President Obama’s health-care law would help bankroll the effort.

... In a Friday column by Gail Collins, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) president Cecile Richards was quoted as saying that Romney once was a friend to Planned Parenthood before switching from a pro-choice to a pro-life platform. ... The former Massachusetts governor refused to sign a Susan B. Anthony List pro-life pledge this summer, saying that the promises in the document were overly broad and prone to unintended consequences, particularly regarding government funding of hospitals.

The Anthony trial of 1873 helped answer the important question of whether women as "citizens" under the recently adopted Fourteenth Amendment were entitled, as one of the "privileges and immunities" that came with citizenship, to vote. The answer given by prim and conservative Justice Ward Hunt will surprise few, but the trial also shows Hunt with his hands full, not quite knowing how to shut up his feisty defendant. Read now about what "Aunt Susan" described in her diary as "the greatest outrage in judicial history!"

Friday October 8, 2010 SBA List Targets Murkowski as Alaska Campaign Turns into Toss-Up By Peter J. SmithFAIRBANKS, Alaska, October 8, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Susan B.

Yesterday marked the opening of the Susan B. Anthony museum in Rochester, New York—and instead of celebrating, a lot of feminists are miffed. The museum was purchased by a member of Feminists Choosing Life of New York, and pro-choice groups are accusing her of “hijacking Susan.” Apparently, they want the famous suffragist’s views on abortion scrubbed from the historical record. “There's absolutely nothing in anything that [Susan B. Anthony] ever said or did that would indicate she was anti-abortion,” Planned Parenthood founder Gloria Feldt. Absolutely nothing? A quick Google search disproves that in a hurry. In her suffragist newspaper The...

Beyond Marriage? Yes, Way Beyond Posted: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 at 3:11 am ET A group of liberal intellectuals and activists has released a statement calling for the nation to transcend contentious debates over same-sex marriage and sexuality by, in effect, abolishing marriage as a social norm and institution. For some time now, many of us have been arguing that the debate over same-sex marriage is really a debate over the survival of marriage in the culture. This new statement, published as an advertisement in The New York Times and garnering considerable media attention, proves the point. On the one...

Pro-Life Women Fight for Feminism Today’s feminists are far from yesterdays. EDITOR'S NOTE: This piece is reprinted from Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports, by Kate O 'Beirne, with the permission of its publisher, Sentinel. Today's feminists attempt to ennoble their demands by wrapping themselves in the suffragettes' principled campaign for the right to vote. They argue that you can't be pro-women without being pro-choice. But the radical abortion views of today's feminists like Kate Michelman, Faye Wattleton, Gloria Steinem, Gloria Feldt and Eleanor Smeal betray...

BIRTHS TO UNMARRIED MOTHERS ARE at a record high in the United States--almost 1.5 million in 2004 alone, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. While the rising trend is of long standing, one novel factor driving up childbearing outside marriage is the growing popularity of single motherhood by donor insemination. The incidence of this "assisted reproduction," as it is called, has more than doubled in the last decade.Most public discussion of donor insemination for single women has been carried on in a neutral, positive, or breathlessly celebratory tone. Isn't it great, the thinking seems to be, that these...

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -After two bellyflops, Congress is considering a dollar coin again. This time it might actually work. Like lemmings rushing into the fjords, Congress cannot seem to resist a leap into the dollar-coin money pit. Despite two wildly unsuccessful attempts to introduce a dollar coin, legislators are trying again. This time, however, lemmings might fly. On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to create a new $1 coin, which would accompany the current Sacagawea piece. The measure enjoyed enormous bipartisan support, passing by a vote of 422 to 6.

America's morning TV sweetheart, Katie Couric, wasted no time on Wednesday trying to turn the beheading of Americans in Iraq into political ammunition - asking the brother of executed hostage Jack Hensley if he still supported the war.

Who's Lying to You About Early Feminism? Susan B. Anthony: Lucifer's Babe? December 1, 2003 by Art Lemasters Many people of scriptural faith have been duped into believing that Susan B. Anthony was a devout follower of the Word by feminist mentions that she was a Quaker, that Quakers were strict, and so forth. Those stories omit the truth. Anthony's family was with the liberal Hicksite Quakers, that is, until she stopped attending Quaker meetings. In liberal Quaker doctrine, scriptures are secondary to each person's "Inner Light." Some Quakers disagree with liberal thought against scripture, but Anthony could not have...

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, President Bush signs a law banning the gruesome abortion procedure known as partial-birth abortion. For the Susan B. Anthony List and the dozens of pro-life organizations who have worked tirelessly to get this law passed, a law supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans, this is a very special day of celebration. "This is an incredible moment for anyone who recognizes that a civilized nation cannot allow an abortion procedure that takes the life of a child in the very process of being born," said Jennifer Bingham, Executive Director of the Susan B....
