Quote of the Day

'In my world, you don't get to call yourself "pro-life"
and be against common-sense gun control - like
banning public access to the kind of semiautomatic
assault rifle, designed for warfare, that was used
recently in a Colorado theater. You don't get to call
yourself "pro- life" and want to shut down the
Environmental Protection Agency, which ensures
clean air and clean water, prevents childhood
asthma, preserves biodiversity and combats climate
change that could disrupt every life on the planet.
You don't get to call yourself "pro-life" and oppose
programs like Head Start that provide basic
education, health and nutrition for the most
disadvantaged children. You can call yourself a
"pro-conception-to-birth, indifferent-to-life
conservative." I will never refer to someone who
pickets Planned Parenthood but lobbies against
common-sense gun laws as "pro- life".'
