Quote of the Day

"President Obama’s decision last weekend to overturn the Mexico City Policy, which barred taxpayer dollars from going to groups that perform abortions overseas, makes it clear that our new president has little intention to follow through on his campaign pledge to reduce abortion during his presidency. But yet Big Media has portrayed Obama’s decision as proof that the president is willing to reach out to both sides of the abortion debate. Why? Because Obama waited one day before issuing the decision.

In an opinion piece over the weekend on WorldNetDaily, I argue that, despite what the media might say, Obama will continue to have a difficult time winning over conservatives Christians, for whom policy, not symbolic gestures, matters most. You can read my piece here. Thank you."
