Our Appalling Pro-Abortion Vice President

1. A horrifying and disgusting story about how then-Senator Joseph Biden rejoiced -- "laughing and crying" -- when the Supreme Court upheld the right to abortion in the Casey decision, thanks to the pro-abortion vote of Justice Souter. This, from a person who purports to be a Catholic. Tell me again -- how is being "pro-choice" not exactly the same thing as being pro-abortion?

2. Ill-informed Europeans and Americans get the headlines, but the bishops of the Congo, who have to face the issue daily, will get no attention when they support the Holy Father's statements on condoms and HIV/AIDS. They say what everyone really knows -- condoms are not the solution, but are part of the problem.

3. Quite a while ago, I noted a horrible bill in Texas that would reduce the criminal penalties for infanticide, if a mother kills her baby due to post-partum depression. Sponsored, of course, by a "Catholic" adherent to the full Cult of Moloch. The bill is moving forwards.

4. Bishop Leonard Blair of Toledo buts the kibosh on an event by New Ways Ministry, the pro-gay "Catholic" operation (pro-same-sex "marriage", the whole nine yards). The worst part? The event was to take place at the convent of a women's religious community. Gee, wonder why the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith wants to evaluate the fidelity of women's religious communities?

5. Maine moves a step closer. The District of Columbia will recognize out-of-state same-sex "marriages". Oddly, the infamous Marion Barry cast the only dissenting vote (jeez, what allies we have!). This will be interesting to watch, since Congress can overrule the City Council's decision (remember, DC is a federal entity, and Congress has final jurisdiction over it). What will the Democratic majority in Congress do? Meanwhile, Maggie Gallagher is still optimistic.

6. Randall Terry, professional pain in the nether regions. Now he's gotten himself arrested for trespassing on the NDU campus. It's not all about you, Randall. Let the students and the truth tell the story.

7. Cognitive dissonance alert -- the Times tries to talk about the grief after miscarriage. As usual, ignoring the gigantic elephant in the room.

8. Please pray for the success and safety of the Holy Father in his Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

9. Please pray for me -- this evening I'm participating in a public debate in Rockland County on same-sex "marriage". My watchword is Ephesians 6:10-17.
