Trent Franks, an Arizona Congressman, announced his introduction of the "Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act," or "PreNDA," today. The bill would "prohibit knowingly performing, or soliciting funding for, race- or sex-selection abortions."

Even before the 2009 March for Life kicked off today on the National Mall, pro-lifers were complaining—to the Washington Times, no less—that the media was not giving them a fair shake. The complaints are pretty much [...]
This 67-year-old pro-life activist at today's March for Life, who didn't want her name published—"I'm very well known, and I don't want people to know I've had an abortion," she says—lists three things to like about our new President.
