Controversy: Would discovery of so-called “gay gene” lead to women aborting “gay” babies?
AP writer Lindsay Tanner reports on a study being conducted on gay brothers to determine if there is a “gay gene” (via Private Pigg at Liberty Pundit):
Bad news for poll-worshipping Democrats
While a majority of Americans trust Democrats on healthcare issues, they’re more with the President on the expansion of SCHIP:
Desperate Democrats deceptively use sick child in radio address to promote SCHIP expansion
Just when you think Democrats couldn’t get any more despicable comes the news that the family of the 12 year old boy they used on their radio address last weekend to promote the expansion of SCHIP – while chastizing the President, who vetoed it – are not as “needy” as they were made out to be, and probably could have afforded health insurance had they not chosen have their kids educated in private school to the tune of around $20,000 each per year, and chosen to live in a home that wasn’t over 3,000 sq ft in a neighborhood where one 2,000 sq ft home recently sold for $500,000. Mark Steyn has the details (h/t: Stop the ACLU).
Whoopi Goldberg: We must show “reverence” for women who’ve aborted their babies
Another day, another example of rampant idiocy on the set of ABC’s The View.
The biggest reason to oppose the expansion of SCHIP
I’ve blogged before about the administration’s opposition to the growth of SCHIP on the grounds that it would expand eligibility to people who really shouldn’t be eligible (not to mention expand the size and scope of the federal government). Those are sound reasons to oppose the expansion of SCHIP, but there’s another argument against expanding SCHIP that tops them all: It would lead the way to socialized healthcare here in the US, something Democrat hopefuls for president Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, among others, have essentially called for (although they strongly reject the term “socialized healthcare” because they don’t like that it calls their plans for what they are).
Watch for shrieking radical feminists
Last week, I blogged about the blatant double standards radical feminists use in order to suppress speech they don’t want to hear from men. In my post, I linked up to a Kathleen Parker piece where she pointed out that one female MIT biologist actually complained “that she felt she was either going to faint or throw up” after listening to former Harvard President Larry Summer’s speech in which he suggested that the reason men are more successful in professions like science could be the fact that male and female minds are different and that men are smarter in certain areas than women are.
