A Choice for Life

I hadn’t allowed myself to think of it as a baby. When I came to terms with the reality that there was a person inside of me, I wondered, “How can I destroy a life?” I just knew I couldn’t. [...]

The Stupak-Pitts Amendment Doesn’t Hurt Women, Abortion Does

Ann Neumann didn’t like yesterday’s post on the Stupak Amendment.  Complaining about my lack of compromise.  Sorry, when it comes to the sanctity of life, I don’t compromise.  She notes:

When abortion is [...]

Subdivision 7 says, “No person shall [...]

Throwing Social Conservatism Under the Bus is a Losing Strategy

I attended the Conservative Breakfast Club at the Republican Party of Iowa headquarters this morning.  The speaker was Doug Gross, local attorney and former gubernatorial candidate.  He spoke to us some findings of a poll he commissioned for the Iowa First Foundation.

He noted that the Republican party has a “branding” problem.  In [...]
