It is 5:44 a.m. and all is quiet, except for the birdies, who are putting up quite a morning racket. It is 67.3 degrees F. with a cool breeze out. Patrick is asleep downstairs with Junior.

FROM THE PATRIOT POST:

Faith and Family: Abortion on the political backburner?

In a reversal the Vatican is calling a betrayal of faith, Amnesty International (AI) recently changed its traditionally non-aligned position on abortion, announcing it now supports abortion in cases of rape, incest and the elusive “saving a woman’s life.” Defending its move against the Vatican’s call for Catholics to withdraw all support, AI claimed that it “remains silent on the rights and wrongs of abortion.” A louder silence was never heard.

Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s 2005-06 annual report showed a record $902.8 million in income and a net profit of $55.8 million, even as income from clinics and donations fell by $1.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. What rose were taxpayer-funded government subsidies, which reached $305.3 million, a 12-percent increase over the previous year. The most disturbing number of all, however, is the record 264,943 abortions Planned Parenthood performed during this same period—the equivalent of 5,095 per week, 725 per day, 30 per hour. Meanwhile, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins notes that during the same period, Planned Parenthood “did not record a single adoption referral.” So, with national elections looming, should abortion still be a backburner issue?

MURDER, MOST FOUL!
