Planned Parenthood Condemns House Passage of Bill to Ensure Babies Born Alive During Abortion Receive Care - Breitbart

Planned Parenthood Condemns House Passage of Bill to Ensure Babies Born Alive During Abortion Receive Care - Breitbart:

"During a subcommittee meeting regarding H.B. 1129 – the Infants Born Alive Act – Planned Parenthood lobbyist, Alisa Laport Snow, suggested that killing a baby who survived an abortion is acceptable as long as the physician and patient agreed to it.
The House passed the Born Alive Act on Friday, the day tens of thousands of pro-life activists descended upon Washington, DC, for the annual March for Life. The March is held on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of Roe v. Wade, when the high court created a right to abortion, although none existed in the Constitution."

Occupational licensing rules are holding back people who want to work

Occupational licensing rules are holding back people who want to work
"Most occupational licensing is corrupt and idiotic. 
People have a right to earn a living and Congress should make sure states don't get in the way.
We want people to be able to get good jobs, and to use their abilities to the fullest.
And we want poor people to be able to rise into the middle class, or beyond. 
At least, we say we do.
What we do, on the other hand, is often calculated to have the opposite effect.
In this case, I’m talking about occupational licensing..."

Doctor who aided hunt for bin Laden languishes, forgotten

Doctor who aided hunt for bin Laden languishes, forgotten
"PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Shakil Afridi has languished in jail for years — since 2011, when the Pakistani doctor used a vaccination scam in an attempt to identify Osama bin Laden’s home, aiding U.S. Navy Seals who tracked and killed the al-Qaida leader.

Americans might wonder how Pakistan could imprison a man who helped track down the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.
Pakistanis are apt to ask a different question: how could the United States betray its trust and cheapen its sovereignty with a secret nighttime raid that shamed the military and its intelligence agencies?

“The Shakil Afridi saga is the perfect metaphor for U.S-Pakistan relations” — a growing tangle of mistrust and miscommunication that threatens to jeopardize key efforts against terrorism..."

Oklahoma teacher's union calls for boycott of Christian college students - Washington Times

Oklahoma teacher's union calls for boycott of Christian college students - Washington Times:

"The Oklahoma Council for Public Affairs reports that a collective bargaining group representing public schools in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, is calling for a boycott of student teachers from the local Christian university. The reason for the proposed shunning? Oklahoma Wesleyan University’s president (yours truly) dared to suggest that the bad ideas presently being taught in our nation’s schools might, at least in part, be responsible for the bad behavior we are seeing in our national news.
In other words — and call me crazy here — I am openly wondering if what Richard Weaver wrote of in his seminal 1948 classic, “Ideas Have Consequences,” might actually be true: Education matters and what we teach in our classrooms does actually get practiced in our culture."

ERICKSON: Twenty-First Century Slavery​ | Daily Wire:

"It is actually remarkable that one of the things conservatism has preserved the best in the United States is a culture of life. Just as secular liberals have had to rebrand again as progressives since people stopped liking liberals, they also have to rebrand the idea of "choice" as "women's health." But the underlying issue is still the same. They want to murder children legally. And support for that proposition continues to be a minority proposition in the United States."
