Does Georgia Right to Life Now Support Embryonic Stem Cell Research?

I am guessing Dan Becker and Georgia Right to Liife are just fine and dandy with embryonic stem cell research.

They don't like Karen Handel funding cervical cancer screenings, but they love them some Nathan Deal despite his support for a Henry Waxman backed piece of legislation funneling $500 million to the abortion industry explicitly for abortions.

Well, Nathan Deal also signed on to NANCY PELOSI authored legislation that, in its own description, "allows for the use of fetal tissue in...

Why Tiahrt Matters

A millimeter. A centimeter. An inch. They are all measures of distance. Even the smallest of them measures some distance.

Our job this year as conservatives is to put some distance between us and the left. In doing so, it is our job to push the Senate Republican to the right. Every inch counts when dealing with 100 senators and 40 or 50 Republicans.

On this day in 1764, James Otis, Jr., a Massachusetts lawyer, published his thoughts on taxation, coining the phrase "taxation without representation" in the process.


Consider this an open thread.

Georgia Right To Life Supports Candidate Who Voted For Abortion Funding

Hypocrisy, thy name is Georgia Right to Life.

Today, Georgia Right to Life attacked Georgia gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel for funding Planned Parenthood when Handel chaired the Fulton County Commission in Georgia.

The funding had actually been approved before Handel got there and the money was designated for cancer screenings with Planned Parenthood doing the cancer screenings instead of the county.

Your money? The government's "income"

There was an interesting comment made on the floor of the United States Senate yesterday.
