After several high-profile switches from no to yes on the Senate version of the health care bill, including Dennis Kucinich and former Stupak coalition members Dale Kidlee and James Oberstar, Democrats have announced that they are planning a health care vote for this Sunday. There’s just one problem: they still don’t have the 216 votes […]
The celebration of Saint Patrick has become 99.9% secularized at this point, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t add a moral component. SecularProLife.org member Phil E. has an excellent suggestion: St. Patrick didn’t die so you could drink.

Remember when Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson was the holdout vote for the Senate version of the healthcare reform bill? He opposed it on the basis of its funding for abortion, but when legislators offered a deal to reduce Nebraska’s Medicaid expenses, he conveniently caved. Pro-lifers criticized him harshly, characterizing his switch as a “betrayal.” So, […]
