The New York Times Throws in the Towel on "Overpopulation"

But America’s “newspaper of record,” as it styles itself, failed to record the horrors themselves. It was woefully incomplete. There was no mention of the human costs when governments made population control a priority. No mention of the savage forced abortions and forced sterilizations that followed. No mention of the killing of baby girls through female infanticide and sex-selective abortion. No mention of the wasted money, the age and gender imbalances that continue to unfold and will take effect for years to come. No mention of how the overpopulation panic helped to fuel the rise of birth control use and abortion.  Visit:

Cruz Meeting With Hollywood Conservatives on IRS Scrutiny

Cruz Meeting With Hollywood Conservatives on IRS Scrutiny: "U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz plans to meet with Friends of Abe — the IRS-targeted group of elite Hollywood conservatives — to address the "McCarthyite" scrutiny it is under as it seeks tax-free charity status.

"FOA should respond to the IRS as it would to any McCarthyite request for information," Cruz, a Texas Republican, told The Hollywood Reporter, referring to the IRS's demand for its membership roster.

CNS STORY: Irish family in Israel says special-needs child brought new attitude

I found this gem of a story while going through old e-mail. Enjoy.

JERUSALEM (CNS) -- Before their daughter Rachel was born almost three years ago, Theresa and Gerry Casey did not travel very much with their three older children, preferring to wait until taking trips with them would be easier. But Rachel, who was born with Down syndrome and severe heart defects, changed all that."

Paycheck protection issue hits local level | PA Independent

Paycheck protection issue hits local level | PA Independent: "The battle over the so-called paycheck protection legislation has gone local in Pennsylvania.

About two weeks after hundreds of union workers flooded the state Capitol in Harrisburg to protest two bills that would force public-sector labor unions to collect their own dues, commissioners in Berks County approved a resolution supporting the state legislation.

Berks County Chairman Commissioner Christian Leinbach, a Republican, also serves as president of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania and hopes to see the organization throw its support behind the legislation with a resolution of its own."

PA Medicaid expansion on hold as Corbett, lawmakers put off decision | PA Independent

"HARRISBURG – Republican senators dodged a potential up-or-down vote on Medicaid expansion Monday, but the delay strategy will only work for so long.

Lawmakers must approve a so-called “welfare code” by June 30 as part of the state budget that sets the rules for how billions of state and federal dollars will be used by various agencies. Legislators also must set what requirements must be met for individual eligibility for programs funded with those dollars.

PUSHING FOR EXPANSION: State Sen. Vince Hughes, D-Philly, says the Democrats will use all available options to expand Medicaid in Pennsylvania.
But Senate Bill 977 is exactly the vehicle Democrats have targeted to force a vote on the expansion of Medicaid, a portion of the federal health reform law passed in 2010 that states must opt into before the end of this year."  Visit: PA Medicaid expansion on hold as Corbett, lawmakers put off decision | PA Independent:
