Birth Control Reminder: “Access” Doesn’t Mean “Subsidy”

ObamaCare has been out of the spotlight for a while, which might account for the increased public support the boondoggle has enjoyed lately. Allowing ObamaCare to slip away from the conversation is troubling for all sorts of reasons, chief among them all the surprises in the 3,000-page law still waiting to be revealed. At the [...]

Nampion is Right: Killing the Unborn Already CAN Be Murder

Michael Fletcher murdered his wife and unborn child
We have been engaging in a sometimes good, oftentimes merely semantic, (aka typically libertarian) debate on abortion on this site for several days.  The trigger was David Swindle’s slightly improved take on the old saw, “If abortion is murder, why don’t you want to prosecute it like murder?”
