CULTURE OF LIFE. If anyone still thinks we should refer to the anti-abortion movement as "pro-life," this event next week should change their mind. The forced-pregnancy movement is holding a four-day rally to honor Paul Hill, who murdered abortion provider Dr. John Britton and his clinic escort in Pensacola, Florida in 1994.

THROWIN' BOLTS. The forced-pregnancy crowd has been chirping about how God began casting lightning bolts at Rudy Giuliani just as he was about to profess his support for abortion rights during Tuesday's debate.
