Does an abortion hurt?
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5PlZzpfHQI] Does an abortion hurt? Does it matter if it hurts? After all, the Iowa legislature refused to stop abortions after 20 weeks of conception even though the we now know that the fetus feels pain at 20 weeks. For a unique perspective on the pain of abortion, you have a chance…
Read MoreAre people the problem or the solution?
By Tom Quiner Someone I know once said only partially in jest, “I hate strangers.” I continued the banter by responding “I love strangers, because they represent opportunity.” I meant it. I have benefited profoundly from strangers. So have you. Strangers have invented things that make our lives better. They developed new medicines and cured…
Read MoreWhat doesn’t Wikipedia want you to know about Benazir Bhutto?
By Tom Quiner I am acutely sensitive to what is considered news and what isn’t. Although conservatives rightly get riled up when news coverage is distorted, I think the bigger issue is what is (and isn’t) covered, and how in-depth that coverage is. The same goes with history. There is plenty of historical revisionism that…
Read MoreThe pornography of abortion
By Tom Quiner America’s best-known pornographer calls for the destruction of Downs Syndrome babies. In a recent interview, he said: “Sarah Palin is the dumbest thing. She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A…

I pose a question to Senator Gronstal and his party: Roman Catholics tend to vote for your party. How can you look us in the eyes and tell us an important piece of legislation that will prevent Iowa from becoming the late-term abortion capital of the Midwest isn’t even worthy of a vote?

By Lisa Bourne [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq0kBkUZbvQ&feature=player_embedded] For those who may not be aware, Lila Rose is the founder of the organization Live Action. A visit to www.liveaction.org yields the group’s description of itself as a youth-led pro-life movement for human rights. Live Action has been responsible for numerous videos exposing Planned Parenthood for corruption and repeated illegal…
Read MoreThe Democratic Party will go to the mat for abortion
By Tom Quiner The President and his party believe in the public option when it comes to health insurance. They believe in more taxes for the top producers. They believe Guantanamo should be closed. They’re against warrantless wiretaps. They despise spending restraint. They rail against indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. And in particular, they are…
Read MoreThe “shocking” white baby from New Jersey
By Tom Quiner This baby is “shocking, unsettling and manipulative.” CBS Outdoor, the billboard advertising arm of CBS Television, refuses to allow a group to use this image on a billboard on which they wish to advertise in New Jersey for those reasons. A pro life group wishes to use the image along with this…
Read MoreDo pro-lifers deserve constitutional freedoms?
By Tom Quiner No, pro-lifers do not deserve constitutional freedoms according to Democratic Senator, Frank Lautenberg. I quote: “These people (referring to pro-life advocates) don’t deserve the freedoms of the Constitution.” Senator Lautenberg and his party already deny the unborn any Constitutional freedoms, beginning with a right to life. Now does he also want to…
Read MoreThe flawed rationale for abortion
By Rhonda Phillips Proponents for abortion often punctuate their argument with the verb ‘wanted’. But, pro-aborts have had over 38 years to weed out all the ‘unwanted people’. Actually, the disease of ‘unwantedness’ was conjured up by the abortion industry in order to create a market for their product. Frankly, if we put our minds…
