Read more: Mitt Romney vs. Obama Administration’s War on Religious Liberty
Mitt Romney has long appreciated the growing threats against religious liberty in our midst. He faced them as governor of Massachusetts, as the conscience rights of Catholic Charities’ adoption work was challenged. He talked about them in a major speech in his last campaign for the GOP nomination. Today in an oped , he takes on these threats directly. This, it seems to me, is the money graph: It is a prerequisite to the preservation of our liberty that our government not dictate to religious institutions the principles by which they are to carry out their charitable and divine mission. Religious liberty and freedom of conscience flow from the common conviction that it is freedom not coercion that exalts the individual, just as it raises up the nation. Many conservatives, it is no secret, worry that there will not be enough contrast between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, if Romney is the Republican nominee. This oped points to dramatic and crucial contrast…

Read more from the original source: Obama Wrong to Celebrate Abortion as Roe vs. Wade Turns 39
On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court handed down a decision in Roe v. Wade that literally wiped the abortion laws of all 50 states off the books. In one fell swoop, the court not only legalized abortion on demand, but pronounced abortion a fundamental right by saying that a so-called “right to privacy” found …

Original post: Ron Paul could do better in defending the right to life
While most libertarians support legal abortion, Ron Paul is to be commended for not only resisting that trend but using his knowledge and experience as an obstetrician to promote the pro-life point of view. There are many pro-life Catholics (and other Christians) who like Ron Paul’s views on economics and foreign policy who otherwise would not support his candidacy if Ron Paul were pro-choice. Without these voters, Ron Paul’s vote totals would be definitely be lower. So I’m glad that Ron Paul is generally pro-life. But he sure could do better on the defense of human life. Let’s look at some votes he cast before he started running for president in 2008. Ron Paul voted No on a national ban on human cloning, Roll Call No. 39 on Feb. 27, 2003. …

But what about this headline? …
