Kill her just because she’s a girl? Fine!

The Cinch Review

More evidence, for those who might need it, that the abortion industry is by its very nature both evil and corrupt.

From Live Action (via Hot Air)

Live Action released undercover footage today showing two National Abortion Federation (NAF) clinics in Arizona agreeing to break state law and perform an illegal sex-selective abortion. Today’s video is the third release in Live Action’s “Gendercide” project, documenting Planned Parenthood and NAF’s support for sex-selective abortion in America.

The video has an intro providing context for the salient issues before the truly damning undercover footage begins.

Official state gun of Arizona

The Cinch Review

Colt
The state of Utah actually kicked things off a month ago, with a bill to designate the Browning M1911 semiautomatic pistol as that state’s official state gun. Utah would be the first state to have an official firearm. Now, there’s a proposal in neighboring Arizona to name the classic Colt single-action army revolver as the official gun of the Grand Canyon State (thanks to Mike for the tip). I must say that I do like the idea of going for an iconic firearm of the American West like that one.

The kill-joys are naturally complaining about the legislature spending time on such an issue, but State Senator Ron Gould, who sponsored the bill in Arizona, has responded: “We spent about 120 seconds of committee time on that bill. So it’s not like it takes an overwhelming amount of time. Generally, everybody asking why we are doing this takes longer than actually doing it.”

My own beloved New York City is sadly without an official firearm, although I have no doubt that — once he hears this exciting news from Arizona and Utah — Mayor Bloomberg will put the naming of one on his shortlist of priorities.

I would suggest considering either the sawed-off shotgun or the classic water-pistol painted black. Both are frequently utilized by Big Apple entrepreneurs, and I think that each in their own way would constitute a fitting symbol of the indomitable spirit of the true New Yorker.

Giving Alzheimer’s Patients Their Way

The Cinch Review

There’s a really remarkable story in the New York Times today, titled Giving Alzheimer’s Patients Their Way, Even Chocolate. It demands a complete reading, and will leave you moved and amazed — at least it did me. It follows the work being done at the Beatitudes nursing home in Arizona, where a very different approach from the norm is being followed in the care for Alzheimer’s patients, with dramatic and heartwarming results.

It amounts to an enormous testament to the dignity and value of human life, at all stages, and the tremendous power that comes from giving that dignity and deserved respect to people, especially when hardship seeks to rob them of it.

The Times doesn’t refer to the source of the name for this facility, i.e. Beatitudes. But I don’t mind making the reference at all.

From the Sermon on the Mount (ESV):

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

And a dog named Blue

The Cinch Review

Blue and friendJust another tale of a dedicated pooch staying beside a lost child and keeping her warm through a cold night. The story is from Arizona and features a a Queensland Heeler (or “Australian Cattle dog”) named Blue, and a three year-old girl named Victoria. The girl apparently wandered away from her home in a place called Cordes Lakes at about 5 p.m. last Thursday. The area being rugged and abutting state park land, finding her constituted a challenge that immediately demanded rescue teams, volunteers, ATVs, night-vision goggles, and a concerted attempt by local law enforcement to interrogate registered sex offenders in that locale. The night would get cold, falling to the mid-30s Fahrenheit, and the girl had been dressed in a t-shirt when she disappeared.

Despite the best efforts of all the people and resources that could be summoned, the night passed without the little girl being located. With sun-up, a rescue helicopter took off. Around 7:30, after being in the air only about five minutes, the rescuers saw the dog in a dry creek bed roughly a half a mile from the girl’s home, and then saw the girl too.
