The sheer strangeness of all the talk about abortion, abortion, contraception, contraception. I am old enough to know a wedge issue when I see one, but I’ve never seen a great party build its entire public persona around one. Big speeches from the heads of Planned Parenthood and NARAL, HHS Secretary and abortion enthusiast Kathleen Sebelius and, of course, Sandra Fluke.

Cardinal Dolan accents Life and religious freedom more at DNC than RNC
Cardinal Dolan must have thought Democrats needed more prayer cover than Republicans. His closing prayer at the Republican National Convention was 544 words, while at the Democratic National Convention it was 700 words. (Text of both here.)
Dolan began his prayer at both conventions with either an intentional or unintentional slight of Islam: “Almighty God, father of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus…” but not Ishmael, Abraham’s firstborn son by his wife’s maidservant Hagar, considered Muhammad’s ancestor.
Not many people likely noticed that, but I did, and I’m sure Muslims in the room fumed. (Photo right is of a prayer gathering of 300 Muslims in Charlotte before the launch of the DNC.)
In other words, Cardinal Dolan made sure everyone in the audience – and God – knew he was praying not to some ambiguous deity, of which so many are worshiped in the Democratic Party, particularly earth. It was a quiet, brilliant stroke of loyalty and defiance, IMO.
Many words in both prayers were similar, if not identical.

When even MSM thinks the Democratic Convention is an abortion-palooza, you know it’s bad
When even liberals and the mainstream media think the Democratic National Convention has turned into an abortion-palooza, it must really be blatant.
Apparently even ideologically aligned reporters have their breaking point on abortion promotion. To wit…
Pro-abortion New York Times columnist David Brooks, after Day 1:

There really must be something in the records of Planned Parenthood in Kansas as they’ve asked for the records back. We know it’s not patient privacy Planned Parenthood is concerned with, it’s covering up their willingness to not report statutory rape.

DNC claims Randall Terry is illegitimate; Gloria Allred demands equal time

Yesterday came the news that the Obama machine was trying to block television […]
