In a column in the New York Times, Ross Douthat noted that, as usual after a GOP presidential defeat, pro-abortion Republicans blamed pro-lifers.
“For pro-lifers, these refrains are as frustrating as they are familiar,” wrote Douthat, listing: “Their movement should focus on changing hearts and minds, rather than the law. It should be more... READ MORE

The Catholic Key blog in Kansas City scooped the story that the Jesuit-run University of San Francisco included abortion coverage in its mandatory Student Health Insurance Program through Aetna Insurance.
