Jenifer Bowen, Executive Director of the Iowa Right to Life, provided a devastating response to a supporter of human abortion, which appeared in the morning’s Des Moines Register:

“Quiner intentionally and incorrectly misrepresents” human abortionists

By quinersdiner | May 9, 2013

I should be “ashamed and condemned for making hurtful accusations” toward human abortionists. These were the sentiments expressed by letter writer, Rick Smith, in this morning’s Des Moines Register. He was responding to my “love letter” to human abortionists that appeared in the Tuesday edition of the paper. Mr. Smith and fans of human abortion everywhere evidently had their feathers ruffled …

The Republican Party spent nearly $1.7 Billion dollar in the last election cycle promoting Mitt Romney and Republican candidates. That’s almost as much as McDonald’s spends a year on their advertising budget. So how did it work?

The Des Moines Register runs a Quiner’s Diner essay

By quinersdiner | May 7, 2013

By Tom Quiner Thanks to the Des Moines Register for running last week’s essay, “Transcending Decency.” The retitled piece (“Gosnell trial exposes myths of abortion”) appears in the morning edition of the Des Moines Register. The Register’s readers tend to be left of center in the political spectrum. It will be interesting to see how they react to the essay. In the meantime, we anxiously await the verdict of the…

A modest proposal to end human abortion

By quinersdiner | May 7, 2013

By Tom Quiner One to two million couples wait in line to adopt a child every year in the U.S. Only 50,000 domestic adoptions actually take place each year. There just aren’t enough available children to meet the demand. An additional 20,000 adoptions take place with couples who adopt children from abroad, as did my sister and her husband.
