Have Republicans Lost the Culture Wars?

Wednesday, March 27, 2013

For years, Republicans have energized their base by backing hot-button social and class issues like gay marriage, immigration, gun control, and abortion. So it is interesting to realize how much public opinion has changed on these issues. Is it in spite of Republican opposition and pandering, or perhaps because of it? Welcome to the new [...]

Dialog

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

© Jack Ohman So what is the GOP doing? Repairing the economy? Reducing the deficit? Well, Actually No. Rand Paul introduces his “Life at Conception” act, which declares that life begins at conception, making abortion murder (so should that be punishable by the death penalty?). And failed VP candidate Paul Ryan introduces a budget that [...]

An Armed Fetus is a Safe Fetus!

Monday, March 4, 2013

Apparently this is a common meme! © Vince Yanez It is even spreading across the big water, thanks to the efforts of Jesus’ General: © Jesus’ General I’m rather proud of this sonogram, I developed the pistol the little fetus-American is holding.

I’m still shaking my head about this one. Can’t decide if it was intentional or accidental.

Aborted Stance

Sunday, October 14, 2012

Does anyone know where Mitt Romney actually stands on abortion and choice? It seems to change every day. Last week, Romney told an Iowa newspaper that abortion legislation would not be part of his agenda if elected. “There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda.” [...]

Pro-Life Obama v. Romney

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

[I am reprinting this article by Nicholas P. Cafardi from the National Catholic Reporter in its entirety because it is perfect. It is beyond hypocritical that politicians regularly claim they believe in one thing, while their actions directly support the opposite. And shame on us for letting them get away with it. -- iron knee] [...]

Circle the Jerks

Friday, March 23, 2012

Last week, over fifty newspapers pulled the Doonesbury comic strips because they dealt with the increasing number of new laws that require women to get an unnecessary sonogram to show them an image of their fetus before they can get an abortion. This week, Jen Sorensen did a comic about the newspapers pulling Doonesbury, and [...]

Humor to the Rescue!

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

This week, Doonesbury is featuring a series of strips dealing with the controversial laws that require women to go though a gauntlet of unnecessary requirements before receiving an abortion.

We’ve been Framed!

Friday, February 17, 2012

© Lee Judge At the recently held Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) a panel session discussed that the fight against birth control wasn’t working. As this comic points out, how can the Catholics call birth control a deeply held religious belief when not only have 97% of Catholic women used birth control, but a majority [...]

The Cure Caves

Saturday, February 4, 2012

I’m sure most of you have heard all about the recent kerfuffle between the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and Planned Parenthood. This episode will likely be used in business schools in the future as an example of how not to do something. But there are a couple of take-home messages for all [...]

Which Mitt?

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

The Democratic National Committee has created a brutal website WhichMitt.com that shows up some of Mitt Romney’s more egregious flip-flops, using only his own words (including video). As Politico puts it “It’s not just what he says, but the total forcefulness and sincerity with which he says it.” Here’s just one example — Romney on [...]

Freedom in the Bedroom?

Monday, July 25, 2011

© Lee Judge I guess the only freedom that matters to some people is the freedom to consume. UPDATE: And no, the government did not ban incandescent light bulbs.

Stillborn Justice

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Around 38 US states have adopted “fetal homicide” laws that were intended to protect pregnant women and their unborn children from attacks from third parties (such as abusive partners). But these laws are increasingly being used to prosecute the women themselves. For example: A pregnant woman in Indiana became despondent after her boyfriend abandoned her [...]
