Where was God?
By Mike Huckabee
I've said some controversial things from time to time, but none which prompted such a backlash as when I stated that the horrific shooting in Connecticut of schoolchildren and teachers couldn't be blamed on God because we've systematically marginalized God out of our culture by removing Him from all aspects of the public square. The vicious attacks that have resulted, most of all of which are based on total ignorance of what I actually said, have actually validated my point, but I'm quite certain that was not the intent of both the professional and amateur critics who have demanded everything from my being banned from ever speaking in public again, or wished me a slow and painful death. On that alone, I wish to acknowledge that the left has again shown that it defines tolerance and diversity as being tolerant only of that with which it agrees, and diverse only to include slight shades of the orthodoxy of liberalism to which they adhere.

St. Louis Planned Parenthood transports third patient to hospital since Thanksgiving
LifeSiteNews
For the third time since Thanksgiving, a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in St. Louis, Missouri, has transported a woman to the hospital for emergency care, which, according to Operation Rescue, makes it one of the most dangerous abortion clinics in the nation. On December 26, at approximately 9:30 a.m., an ambulance was photographed by local activists loading a Planned Parenthood patient into an ambulance. The ambulance was accompanied by two police cruisers. Mary Maschmeier of Defenders of the Unborn [an American Life League Associate group] told Operation Rescue, "Her face was covered and we don't know her condition. How sad it is to see this scene but especially the day after we celebrate the birth of Our Lord." Other medical emergencies took place at this Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on November 21 and December 1, according to Maschmeier. A fourth incident took place there on February 14, 2011.

Washington Times
Pro-life forces have legislative momentum across the country heading into 2013, but pro-choice supporters also see plenty of opportunities to win in and out of the courts, as the nation's political clash over abortion rights shows no signs of easing ahead of the 40th anniversary this month of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision.
