More from the 100% Anti-Life President

1. The 100% anti-life President gets ready to authorize spending federal money to dismember human beings (i.e., embryos whose stem cells are needed by researchers). Still waiting for those pro-life initiatives. Tick, tick, tick...

2. u7yh6uhyyhyih hhhujhn7yrfgtnuj7hy uuuuu8989ioioioioioioioioioiok9. Sorry, that's the effect of my head striking the keyboard repeatedly after reading about the priest -- the president of a Catholic university in Canada, no less -- who is claiming that the Church's teaching on abortion is not infallible, and that it's okay to have a variety of positions on that subject and on homosexuality and contraception. Father, you have now failed Catholic Dogma 101. For homework, read Lumen Gentium 25 and Evangelium Vitae 58-62; pray; pray some more; then, perhaps, you will return to Catholicism.

3. For those who think there's no hope for the new generation, check out this video of a twelve-year-old explaining the reality of abortion. Wow, just wow.

4. The forces of tolerance in Birmingham, AL, treat pro-life protesters as if the First Amendment doesn't exist, arresting them for passing out leaflets on the sidewalk. Ah, yes, the old "the sidewalks are not public property for non-residents" approach -- it's right there in the penumbra of the Constitution. Didn't Bull Connor use the same excuse?

5. Deal Hudson throws in his own $.02 about what the Holy Father should be told about Mrs. Pelosi in anticipation of their meeting in Rome (Psst... Your Holiness... She's 100% anti-life, publicly misrepresents Catholic teaching, and goes to Communion with an apparently untroubled conscience). Let us pray that her meeting with the Holy Father will yield a true conversion of heart in her.

6. You ordinarily expect our popular culture to be shallow and unreflective about virtually everything (except shallow things). Yet there's an article in Glamour magazine, of all places, that is surprisingly thoughtful about post-abortion regret. Kathryn Jean Lopez of NationalReview Online reflects on the broader significance.

7. Man, I wish I were an academic researcher. They actually get paid to produce important articles like this one: "Why Does Getting Married Make You Fat? Incentives and Appearance Maintenance". Guess what their conclusion is? Leaving the "dating market" reduces incentives to be thin and attractive. Um, right, absolutely, I have no incentive to remain attractive for my spouse now. Thanks, guys.

8. Happy Millard Fillmore Day.
