CNN’s Tapper on Gosnell Interview: ‘Is He a Mad Man
The media are finally taking the hint: Kermit Gosnell is a figure worthy of attention.
CNN’s Jake Tapper interviewed Philadelphia Magazine’s Steve Volk on his in-depth correspondence with Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell.

Media Censor 40 Days for Life
As thousands gather across the world in a campaign against abortion, one group will likely remain absent: the media.
September 25 marked the beginning of the fall 2013 40 Days for Life, an international pro-life campaign of prayer and fasting for the unborn and their mothers held in 306 cities this year. The Washington, D.C. chapter held a vigil to raise awareness the night before, hosting…
At HuffPo, Wendy Davis Was 'Filibuster Heard 'Round the World'; Now It
Back in June, Texas State Senator Wendy Davis became a national darling of the left when she filibustered in opposition to legislation, ultimately passed in July, which bans most abortions in the Lone Star State after 20 weeks of pregnancy and "requires doctors performing an abortion to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion clinic."
The arch-liberal…
AP Spins Pope's Slam of Abortion as 'Olive Branch' to Church's 'Conser
On Friday, Nicole Winfield of the Associated Press shamelessly construed Pope Francis' denunciation of abortion and euthanasia as an "olive branch of sorts to the doctrine-minded, conservative wing of the Catholic Church". Winfield ballyhooed how the pontiff "issued a strong anti-abortion message and cited Vatican teaching on the need to defend the unborn".
The Bishop of Rome advised a group…

Pope Francis: 'Every Unborn Child...Has the Face of the Lord
While liberal journalists have a thrill up their leg over Pope Francis telling an interviewer that Catholics have a much broader message than just opposing abortion and unrepentant homosexuality, they're missing other messages that show the Holy Father is still leading a pro-life church.
Francis X. Rocca of The Catholic Herald in the United Kingdom reports the Pope told a gathering of…
The Guardian: ‘Thoroughly Rational’ Women Choose Sex-Selective Abo
You knew “safe, legal, and rare” was just talk, right? “On demand and without apology” is the real mantra of the pro-abortion left – even when the “choice” is to weed out baby girls. That the Guardian UK columnist Sarah Ditum recently admitted as much would almost be refreshing if it weren’t so chilling.
In her article “Why Women Have a Right to Sex-Selective Abortion,” Ditum advocated for a…
WaPo: Fertilized Egg Is Not 'A Living Being' Until Implantation
It's Science 101 time for the editorialists at the Washington Post, whose opposition to Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli is so fierce that they will literally twist the facts of life to fit their agenda.
As Steve Ertelt at Life News noted Tuesday afternoon, the editorial involved includes "a rather un-scientific claim," namely that "an unborn baby shortly after conception"…
Feminist Site 'Jezebel' Showcases 'Untrained Illegal Abortionist
With the tide of popular opinion and state law running against them, abortion absolutists are turning to saviors (Wendy “Pink Tennis Shoes” Davis) and martyrs like the one profiled recently on the ultra-feminist liberal site Jezebel.

WashPost Editorial Board: Pass More Gun Control to Save Lives, But Rep
Today is Constitution Day marking the close 226 years ago of the constitutional convention in Philadelphia.

Witness today's editorial page, which both pushes for more gun control,…
Iowa Bans 'Telemed' Abortions
In another victory for life, the Iowa Board of Medicine voted today to ban so-called telemed abortions. Those are medical abortion procedures prescribed remotely often by the use of Internet teleconferencing software.
Daniel James Devine of World magazine has the story. Here's an excerpt (emphasis mine):
Michelle Goldberg Inadvertently Proves Conservative Point on Planned P
She probably doesn't realize it, but Michelle Goldberg just proved conservatives' point about Planned Parenthood: Donors from the private sector are more than capable to finance the abortion-providing non-profit group.
In her September 4 post, "Planned Parenthood's Rich Red-State Backers," a giddy Goldberg gushed that "Planned Parenthood has more friends in deep-red Texas than you might think…
Shorter Amanda Marcotte: You Don't Need to Be a Surgeon to Rip Apart a
"Things are looking pretty bleak in the world of abortion care" with "[a] wave of states" having been "disturbingly successful at shutting down abortion providers by passing medically unnecessary restrictions on clinics," abortion rights absolutist and Daily Beast contributor Amanda Marcotte lamented at the open of her August 29 Women in the World blog post.
