She was exercising her right to choose between the ages of 16, when she married a 50-year-old college professor, and 33. Now she wants to cash in by selling a book with a snappy title saying it was all her husband’s fault.
I know an empowered woman when I see one.
How Norma McCorvey went from Jane Roe in Roe vs. Wade to pro-life activist fighting to reverse the ruling.
The preference for sons in Asia is well known, but it turns out that Americans of Chinese, Korean and Indian origins practice gender-selective abortion, too.
Most Americans (51%) call themselves “pro-life” rather than “pro-choice” for the first time in the 15 years that Gallup has polled the question:
The findings, obtained in an annual survey on values and beliefs conducted May 7-10, marked a significant shift from a year ago. A year ago, 50 percent said they were pro-choice and 44 percent pro-life — in the new poll, 42 percent said they were pro-choice.
The new survey showed that Americans remained deeply divided on the legality of abortion — with 23 percent saying it should be illegal in all circumstances, 22 percent saying it should be legal under any circumstances, and 53 percent saying it should be legal only under certain circumstances.
The findings echoed a recent national survey by the Pew Research Center, which reported a sharp decline since last August in those saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases — from 54 percent to 46 percent.
“Ironically, Obama’s radical abortion policies and nominees may have helped make America more pro-life,” said Wendy Wright, president of the conservative advocacy group Concerned Women for America.

Remember the Butte, Montana plane crash in March that killed seven adults and seven children? It was, of course, a tragedy.
Media reports noted that the victims were “ultrarich.” The Associated Press also reported that Dr. Irving ‘Bud’ Feldkamp (the guy who leased the plane, father of two of the adult victims and grandfather to five of the children who perished) was waiting “at the entrance of the ultra-exclusive resort where he planned to spend the week skiing with his children and grandchildren.” The location was called a “millionaires-only resort” later in the same article.
Despite the apparent focus on wealth, what the media didn’t reveal was the source of the money. Bud Feldkamp is president of Family Planning Associates Medical Group, Inc., a health care organization that is California’s largest for-profit abortion provider. The plane crashed in Holy Cross Cemetery in Butte, not far from The Tomb of the Unborn, a memorial for babies who have died because of abortion.
‘Rich’ is somehow newsworthy; abortion connections are not. Always remember that ‘news’ is often selective.
The Associated Press wants you to hate the rich, not abortionists.
Well, it’s Britain. Nothing about Britain should surprise one anymore.
