Nearly everyone expects the Brass City’s two hospitals, St. Mary’s and Waterbury Hospital, to merge soon. One is a Catholic institution, the other is a secular one known to perform abortions. Buried deep in a May 12th Republican-American article on St. Mary’s interim CEO was this:
Asked whether he thinks religious issues–such as abortion–could derail or at least […]

First there was the typically overwrought pro sex-ed Susan Campbell column:
Connecticut is one of the bluest states imaginable, yet public discussion about sex education in schools can easily jettison us back to the days of the Scopes trial, when fiery preachers railed against modernity, and movie theaters were considered Satan’s temple…
Yet the opposition shouts down […]

According to today’s Courant it is still an open question as to whether or not one Yale student’s disgusting abortion “art” project was a hoax:
The artwork that the press flocked to Yale on Tuesday to see was nowhere to be found. Walking past colorful prints and abstract landscapes, the reporters descended into a sunken gallery […]

First, the good news. Embryo-destructive research has become so obviously pointless that even our state’s scientists have begun to notice it:
The Connecticut Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee doled out almost $10 million in state grants to Connecticut scientists Tuesday [April 1st], including one that has the potential to take some of the controversy out of […]

We have received the following from Deanne Kopp, head of UConn’s student pro-life group: 
NEXT WEDNESDAY Norma McCorvey (who was the pro-abortion “Roe” of Roe v. Wade and now pro-life) will be speaking at the UConn Storrs campus!–in the Student Union Theatre, 7:30-8:30pm.  Also the movie “Bella” (www.bellathemovie.com) will be playing in our theatre on Friday […]

The increasingly resource-strapped Hartford Courant still fields an impressive team of reporters to cover the state Capitol–and yet, not a single one of them could be bothered to cover yesterday’s Catholic Awareness Day events. The paper’s print edition could not even be bothered to run the AP story covering the biggest annual legislative event by the state’s […]

Perennial third party candidate–and ardent Connecticut pro-lifer–Joe Zdonczyk has died: 
Joseph A. Zdonczyk, who ran unsuccessfully for governor four times on a platform of outlawing abortion, has died at 79 at a Wolcott nursing home after a brief illness…
As founder of the Concerned Citizens Party of Connecticut in 1975, Zdonczyk focused often on abortion, one of the […]

Hearings have been held on the two controversial Planned Parenthood-backed sex-ed bills that I blogged about last week. From the New Haven Register:
Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, testified against the bill at a public hearing Monday, and also had concerns about New Haven’s teen pregnancy plan.
“What we favor is abstinence-only education. It […]

Planned Parenthood has held two recent events to promote a bill that would offer $1 million in incentive grants for school districts to offer increased comprehensive sex ed to teens. (The vaguely written bill, which will receive a public hearing on Friday, is here. A similar bill, which will be heard on Monday, can be viewed […]

Live Blogging at the LOB

No, I’m not the most tech-knowledgeable blogger in the world. But I do what I can. For instance, I’m just now making my first-ever attempt at “live blogging.” It’s 12:11 p.m. as I type this and I’m sitting in Room 2B of the LOB waiting for my turn to testify before the select committee on […]
