Where politics and sports collide in Northeast Indiana!

So sayeth House Minority Leader John Boehner.

According to the Family Research Council, the high-risk pool, which is getting $160 million from the Department of Health and Human Services, would cover any abortion legal in the state.

“This is the boldest admission yet from the Obama administration that the President’s Executive Order on taxpayer-funded abortion was a sham,” House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a statement. “The fact that the high-risk pool insurance program in Pennsylvania will use federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is unconscionable.”

[...]

To placate anti-abortion Democrats, President Obama signed an executive order barring use of federal funds to cover abortions in health insurance exchanges. That order does not apply to the high-risk pools.

“This was one of the many concerns from the beginning: that abortion language in the bill doesn’t cover high risk pools,” Susan B. Anthony List spokeswoman Kerry Brown told The Hill. “Many states will be implementing high-risk pools, so similar situations could happen almost anywhere.”

Sham baby.

New York University Study Won’t Go Over Well with the Far Left

Yesterday, Dr. Patrick Egan with the Department of Politics at New York University released a study covering a decade of research on political polling on homosexual marriage efforts. A scientific look at 33 state ballot initiatives since 1998 reveals that the homosexual demands groups are not making any headway convincing Americans that two men equal a mom and a dad.

This is What Change Looks Like

It is hard to encapsulate what has happened to our nation in the last few days with the passage and signing of the massive health care reform legislation. At a time when America is literally bankrupt and on the verge of losing its triple AAA bond status, with high unemployment and no end to it in sight, the US Congress passed the largest entitlement bill ever seen in most of our lifetimes. The unfunded mandate for states like Indiana is enormous and potentially devastating over time as the program, like all government entitlements before it, grows far beyond the projected expense numbers.

Of all the times in which one might think that Republicans might actually start to “get it” and see that Hoosiers are fed up with liberalism and political parties that mirror each other, this might be that year. Yet, in spite of political earthquakes in Massachusetts and now one here in Indiana this week, the Indianapolis Republican party leadership seems to be living on another planet right now.

The Health Care reform debate took another turn on Wednesday when the U.S. Senate voted to table the pro-life Nelson-Hatch amendment to the Senate health bill, which effectively kills the amendment and makes it clear that the Senate bill will open up massive federal funding for abortion if this bill passes.

Democrat leadership needs 60 votes to invoke cloture on the bill, which basically
means it ends the filibuster threat and moves the bill on for final passage. Currently it does not appear that they have the 60 votes needed.

Senator Evan Bayh will now be the target of intense lobbying by the White House,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and others. It is very possible that Bayh’s
vote on cloture could be the deciding vote.

A vote for cloture is a vote for federal funding for abortion – it’s that simple.
Please contact Senator Bayh and let him know that a vote for cloture is a vote for
federal funding for abortion.

Urge him to “VOTE NO ON CLOTURE.”

Senator Bayh – Phone: (202) 224-5623

The Allen County Right to Life announced today that Abby Johnson will be the keynote speaker for the 2010 March for Life.

Abby made news recently when she left her job as a director at a Planned Parenthood facility in Texas when she saw an abortion take place on an ultrasound. She quit, saying, “I would say there was a definite conversion in my heart … a spiritual conversion.”

The abortion facility where she worked was the site of the first 40 Days for Life Campaign. Campaign participants prayed for Abby and other facility workers for the past five years. Once a pro-choice activist, Johnson now joins pro-life groups in praying outside the building where she once worked.

Obama has picked what the White House calls another “judicial moderate with a record of good judgment and ‘empathy’ for the people involved in cases before the court.”

Just how moderate is U.S. District Court Judge David Hamilton?
