Newt Gingrich on 'The O'Reilly Factor'

O'Reilly spends a lot of time on Gingrich's aggressive stand against activist judges. That's just not that controversial to me and seems like a diversion from a lot of other issues, like the economy. At the second half of the clip Gingrich responds to his decline in the polls and whines about running an exclusively positive campaign. O'Reilly mentions the piece from yesterday's New York Times, "In Murky Republican Contest, the Clearest Target Is Gingrich." I wish O'Reilly would have mentioned Marc Thiessen's essay at Friday's Washington Post, "Gingrich’s abortion contortions." Mitt Romney, speaking to O'Reilly earlier, made a pretty good case for his pro-life bona fides. It would been nice to hear Gingrich make the case for his.

Obama Administration Blocks FDA on 'Morning After' Pill

At New York Times, "Plan to Widen Availability of Morning-After Pill Is Rejected."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why. The administration's out of step on these issues and is freakin' over election year repercussions. See the editors at the Los Angeles Times (via Jill Stanek).

And from pro-abort extremist Amanda Marcotte, "Who to blame for the Plan B debacle?"

Fetal Heartbeat Bill Splits Pro-Life Forces

Actually, the Times makes sure to identify pro-life activists as "anti-abortion," which aligns with radical left death cult abortion lobby usage, "anti-choice." And I like the fetal-heartbeat bill more than the Mississippi initiative that failed last month. Something about the heartbeat that's irresistibly compelling.

See, "Ohio Bill Splits Anti-Abortion Forces on Legal Tactics":

A widening and emotional rift over legal tactics has split the anti-abortion movement, with its longtime leaders facing a Tea Party-like insurrection from many grass-roots activists who are impatient with the pace of change.

For decades, established anti-abortion leaders like National Right to Life and Catholic bishops have pushed for gradually chipping away at the edges of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion, with state laws to impose limits on late-term abortions, to require women to view sonograms or to prohibit insurance coverage for the procedure.

But now many activists and evangelical Christian groups are pressing for an all-out legal assault on Roe. v. Wade in the hope — others call it a reckless dream — that the Supreme Court is ready to consider a radical change in the ruling.

The rift widened last month over a so-called personhood amendment in Mississippi that would have barred virtually all abortions by giving legal rights to embryos. It was voted down but is still being pursued in several states.

Now, in Ohio, a bill before the state legislature that would ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detectable, usually six to eight weeks into pregnancy, is the latest effort by activists to force a legal showdown. The so-called heartbeat bill is tearing apart the state’s powerful anti-abortion forces.
