The Blame Game

1. I am not a fan of Bill O'Reilly, but the campaign to blame him and pro-lifers in general for the terrorist murder of Dr. Tiller is absurd and offensive, and wouldn't be tolerated with any other group. Try the thought experiment: will anyone blame all of Islam or all anti-war activists for the terrorist murder of the military recruiter by a Muslim convert?

2. Meanwhile, from the "Search for Common Ground" Department, abortion advocates are blocking the Pregnant Women Support Act, which would actually do something to reduce abortions. Mr. President?

3. You may hear about a study that reportedly finds that women who attend religious schools have abortions at the same rate as those who do not. Take the story with a grain of salt, warns Michael New, the sociologist who knows more about abortion rates than anybody.

4. The Culture of Death has gotten so far in the UK that there's an assisted suicide waiting list.

5. The invaluable Fr. Thomas Berg blows the whistle on the New York Stem Cell Board's immoral plan to pay women -- with taxpayer money -- to donate eggs for research.

6. New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is acting confident that the Senate will pass the same-sex "marriage" bill. The bill gets a boost from some celebrities that I'm sure somebody has heard of and former VP Dick Cheney, who is now the highest ranking public official to endorse same-sex "marriage".

7. As of now, the SSM bill is not on the Senate's agenda for the rest of the term, but that could change as soon as the wind blows from a different direction.

8. Here's more on the religion of the new Supreme Court nominee. It appears that she is a "special event" Catholic -- she only attends the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to receive the Body and Blood of Christ when it happens to coincide with some kind of event in her family.

9. Blogged yesterday on Memorial Day, and today on the murder of Dr. Tiller.
