It’s true! In a recent post, Having lost their flexibility, pro-lifers are losing their cause, poor Megan can’t help lying her ass off even when (apparently) she doesn’t want to! Let’s start with her headline: “Having lost their flexibility, pro-lifers are losing their cause”. What was the great rallying cry of the pro-life folks prior…

The Republican Party: Now with 6% fewer murders!
Back in 2006, right-wing Republican panjandrum Ramesh Ponnuru published The Party of Death, a book aggressively attacking the Democratic Party for its embrace of “abortion rights”, or, as Ramesh, and the Republican Party, described it, murder! For if, as the Republican platform claims, every human fetus, from the moment of conception, is, or should be,…
Shorter Roberts Supreme Court: Let’s Make A Deal!
Originalist sin, anyone? The Volokh Conspiracy’s David Post has the scoop: Case or Controversy Requirement? What Case or Controversy Requirement?. As Dave points out, in a post that is, I would say, “thorough”, two of the many “big” decisions handed down by the Supreme Court in its recently concluded “summer session”—Moore v. Harper, shooting down…
Thank God for Andrew McCarthy!
OK, that was a bit effusive, considering that Andy Mc believes that President Obama should have been removed from office for the commission of high crimes and misdemeanors,1 and, almost as bad, thinks that Ken “Stick Up My Ass” Starr was a good man, which he was not.2 But, well, I came to praise Andy,…
Will the Dobbs debacle help liberals grow up? Well, yeah! In some universe! Probably!
It stands to reason, doesn’t it?

Jackson Women’s Health Organization, right? Well, probably. It might depend on whether our particular multiverse…
Yo, Clarence Thomas! God is the searcher of all hearts, not you!
Clarence Thomas, eagerly accepting the role of Supreme Court curmudgeon in chief now that Nino Scalia has cashed in his chips, eagerly accused six of his colleagues of cowardice—or perhaps believing in “abortion rights”—when only Justices Gorsuch and Alioto would join him in voting to hear appeals of cases that involved the use of Medicaid…
Ronald Reagan and Abortion
Now that Carly Fiorina is waving the bloody video clip in lieu of actually taking a position on abortion, I’m tempted to go back 48 years to the time in 1967 when Ronald Reagan, governor’s of the nation’s largest state, signed the nation’s most permissive abortion law. Two years ago, Reagan biographer Lou Cannon, who…
And you never will, either
Conservative dude Matt Lewis, a “senior contributor” at the Daily Caller, notes nervously that Scott Walker’s wife Tonette is dangerously squishy on the subject of gay marriage. In fact, Matt says, first wives have historically been a pain in the neck for right-thinking right-wingers: “From Betty Ford to Laura Bush, we’ve never had a pro-life…
