That’s the gist of a new regulation that was issued today. We saw this coming , but now it’s official. I’ll let the incomparable Douglas Johnson from the National Right to Life Committee explain, in a new release: National Right to Life:? This shows the law allows abortion funding ?

Well, now you know — I’ve been writing, just not here. You can pre-order Red State Uprising: How to Take Back America right here via the RedState Store at Amazon. Below are the …
The postmortem of the Sherrod affair will prove it to have been a net negative for the Obama administration — and not just because of its herky-jerky reaction to various reported and then re-reported statements. No, the real problem is the aftermath: Sherrod amplified her remarks, her husband’s views were aired, and the net result was yet another incident in a long, tired narrative, one the American people did not have to endure when other prominent African Americans (Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice) held some of the nation’s top offices. The Obama administration’s race absorption apparently has a shelf life of about three …
The Department of Education has named eighteen finalists in the competition for the second round of ‘Race to the Top’ funding: The finalists are Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

Come on, Democrats. What are you so afraid of? Earlier this month, President Obama circumvented the Senate and recess-appointed health care rationing champion Don Berwick to head the Medicaid and Medicare programs. Democrats on Capitol Hill refuse to bring Berwick out for public hearings. Which closet at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue have they locked Berwick in? It’s time to start a campaign: FREE DONALD BERWICK! More hide-and-seek games from the most transparent Democrat reign ever. Steven Ertelt at Life News and Connie Hair at Human Events : Like their counterparts in the Senate, House Democrats are refusing to hold a hearing on the recess appointment of rationing advocate Donald Berwick, whom President Barack…
Charlie Cook is bearish on the thought of the GOP retaking the Senate this year – which, I should note, is a large step up from, say January 2009: back then they were talking about how the Democrats might increase their existing majority in 2010. Charlie sets up the current situation as follows: Three open seats currently in the hands of Democrats seem pretty likely to end up in the Republican column this year. Sen. Byron Dorgan’s seat in North Dakota is a goner. Democrats have strong candidates in Delaware (Chris Coons) and Indiana (Rep. Brad Ellsworth), but the strength of the opposition in the former and the toughness of…
Senate Democrats defeated a GOP filibuster of a $34 billion bill to extend unemployment benefits to 2.5 million out-of-work Americans on July 20, after Obama blasted the Republicans for blocking the bill. Obama tried to cast Republicans in a hypocritical and callous light with his Rose Garden speech June 19: “The same people who didn’t have any problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are now saying we shouldn’t offer relief to middle-class Americans.” Of course, that was not only his spin on the issue, it became the media’s too. …
Rep. Lungren figured it out. He was wondering why they were looking for George W. Bush. They must be behind in the polls. Via Dittos Rush : Rep. Lungren (R-Gold River-CA) on the democratic predicament: “Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The polls show the democrats are in trouble because every time that happens social security is pulled out of the back pocket. Republicans are going to destroy social security. This party is the only party that saves social security. “Democrats must be…
