Morally Corrupting Culture of Abortion
Rich Lowry, New York Post
If the famous pro-choice lit any is “safe, legal and rare,” the logical endpoint of a culture of abortion on demand is none of the above.Legal abortion was supposed to end “back-alley abortions.” But the practice and the mores of the back alley are with us still, tolerated by people for whom the ready provision of abortion trumps all else.Pro-choicers have long invoked the dignity of women. The nightmarish case of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell and the sting video of a counselor at a Planned Parenthood clinic cooperating with a supposed pimp show the…
Reagan’s Spirit of Bipartisanship
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, OC Register
It can be said that every great president can be remembered in just one sentence: “He freed the slaves”; “He made the Louisiana Purchase.”Yet, 22 years since he left office and seven years after his death, the name Ronald Wilson Reagan can still provoke a more complex debate.There is no one phrase that can describe his legacy. Several come to mind: “The Great Communicator,” or “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
Cameron: End Accommodation of Extremism
Charles Moore, Telegraph
Television plays a strange role in this great unfolding drama in the Middle East. On the one hand, it drives everything.

Personally, I am getting a bit sick of being told what to think by the famous presenters – Jon Snow, John Simpson, George Alagiah – who are “big-footing” their…
ObamaCare on the Ropes
Fred Barnes, The Weekly Standard
When U.S. District Court judge Roger Vinson struck down President Obama’s health care program as unconstitutional, the White House declared the decision an “outlier.” It was anything but that. The ruling on January 31 was in harmony with limits the Supreme Court has imposed on the use of the Constitution’s commerce clause to justify far-reaching legislation by Congress. And it came as the assault on Obamacare has expanded to many fronts—the courts, Congress, statehouses, the small business community, and the grass roots, where tea…
Who’s Afraid of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Doug Saunders, Globe & Mail
It was not until the fourth day of Egypt's mass protests, long after the then-peaceful crowds had swelled into the hundreds of thousands, that the Brothers marched into Cairo's Tahrir Square. They kept to themselves, taking over an otherwise empty corner. You could distinguish them, those in the square told me, by their propensity toward beards and head scarves, and by their chants of "Allahu Akbar."
