I close with a thought about an aspect of modern leftism that is part of the context here. There is something increasingly unappeasable in the Left. This is
something conservatives and others have come to fear, that progressives
now accept no limits. We can’t just have court-ordered legalized
abortion across the land, we have to have it up to the point of birth,
and taxpayers have to pay for it. It’s not enough to win same-sex
marriage, you’ve got to personally approve of it and if you publicly
resist you’ll be ruined. It’s not enough that we have publicly funded contraceptives, the nuns have to provide them. This unappeasable spirit always turns to the courts to have its way. If progressives were wise they would step back, accept their
victories, take a breath and turn to the idea of solidifying gains, of
heroic patience, of being peaceable. Don’t make them bake the cake. Don’t make them accept the progressive replacement for Scalia. Leave the nuns alone. Progressives have no idea how fragile it all is. That’s why they feel
free to be unappeasable. They don’t know what they’re grinding down. They think America has endless give. But America is composed of humans, and they do not have endless give.
Isn’t that what we’re seeing this year in the political realm? That
they don’t have endless give? And we’ll be seeing more of it.
As voters in 12 states and one U.S. territory go to the polls today,
six presidential candidates - everyone except Hillary Clinton -
represent a fundamental break with the status quo on one or both sides
of the aisle. Clinton would be Barack Obama's third term in a pink
pantsuit. Bernie Sanders represents the face of leftism unleashed, stomping the
nation's foot down on the accelerator of the social and cultural
revolution into full-blown socialism. In his world, the laws of
economics have been repealed, and self-righteous moralizing combines
with statism to demand that all citizens embrace an assault on life and
family or pay an exacting price. Every other candidate is, in some clear and fundamental way, a
reaction by the people that the Left has demanded too much, the Culture
of Death has advanced too far, and the long-suffering of the American
people is not infinitely elastic. H/T: Family Institute of Connecticut Action

-- A former abortionist is unmasking the lies and secrecy surrounding
the abortion industry in a new educational video project that has gone
viral on social media.
This doctor has performed over 1,200 abortions. Now, he's revealing
what actually happens during a second trimester abortion procedure. This
video may just change the abortion debate.
Posted by Live Action on Wednesday, February 24, 2016
In a 4-minute video, Dr. Anthony Levatino reveals the violence of abortion procedures and the risks they pose to women.
Levatino,
who performed over 1,200 abortions in the early part of his career as a
OB/GYN, describes a second trimester dilation and evacuation abortion
procedure, or D&E.
The video, released as part of Live Action’s new educational website, AbortionProcedures.com,
garnered over 8 million views on Facebook, and has over 230,000 shares
and over 95,000 likes (at the time of the article’s publication). The
D&E video is one of four depicting the violence against preborn
children committed through the most prevalent abortion procedures in
America.
Viewers reacted strongly to the message, and some who identified as “pro-choice” had a change of heart.
Many viewers questioned their stance on abortion after seeing the brutality of the second trimester procedure.
A D&E abortion is performed in the second trimester, between
13 to 24 weeks. During a D&E abortion, the abortionist uses a sopher
clamp to dismember the preborn child limb from torso. The abortionist
then collects the body parts of the aborted baby and reassembles the
limbs, head, organs, and other pieces to ensure none are left
unaccounted for.
Live Action President Lila Rose called the videos a “game-changer,”
and said it is imperative that the reality of abortion procedures be
exposed. Click "like" if you are PRO-LIFE! “From our nine years of undercover investigations, Live
Action has discovered that abortionists frequently lie to women about
how developed their babies are, the brutality abortion inflicts on
preborn children, and the risks abortion procedures pose to women’s
health and safety,” said Rose. “No one knows more about these lies – or
how to unmask them – than an abortionist.”
Levatino, who is now pro-life, changed his mind about abortion after
losing his adopted daughter in a car accident. After the tragedy,
Levatino says he could no longer commit abortions after seeing the
humanity of a victim dismembered by a D&E abortion procedure. AbortionProcedures.com also
features three additional procedure videos that are accompanied by
animations and medical facts, including medical abortion, first
trimester aspiration abortion, and the late-term induction procedure. Reprinted with permission from Live Action News.
February 29, 2016 (NationalReview) -- Doctors at the Groningen University Medical Center commit infanticide.
If a baby is born with serious disabilities–and the death doctors
conclude they will have an “unlivable life”–the baby’s fate is often to
be on the receiving end of a lethal injection.
Doctors there even created a how-to-decide-which-babies-to-kill bureaucratic checklist known as the Groningen Protocol. RELATED: Disabled newborns are being killed LEGALLY in The Netherlands: here’s the proof
That is why I had to chuckle (bitterly) when a reader sent me a story
about how the university’s official slogan has been voted worst in
Netherlands. From the DutchNews.nl story:
Groningen University’s slogan ‘Born leaders reach for infinity’ has
been voted most stupid university catch phrase in the country in an
online poll…
In the meantime, according to the Parool, Groningen has a new slogan
‘Think Bold’ which as several people have already pointed out, is not
correct English.
I think official school slogans should be truthful. Thus, I suggest
the following: Groningen University: “Where Disabled Babies Are Sent
Into Eternity.”
