Here's today's Washington Watch Daily commentary from FRC Radio:
When it comes to advertising on the D.C. metro, pro-lifers are in for a bumpy ride. This month, the Conference of Catholic Bishops bought ad space on the subway to educate people about abortion. The posters tell riders that the human heart starts beating at 22 days—but explains that “Roe v. Wade says a doctor can stop it for the next 244.” Now a group that’s funded by George Soros, CREW, is doing its best to derail the campaign. They’ve asked the Transit Authority to investigate, saying the ads are false and misleading. But if it’s “truth in advertising” they want, why not target Planned Parenthood or the Human Rights Campaign? Those groups have used metro space for years to promote something that doesn’t even exist outside of marriage—“safe sex.” As the Supreme Court considers the partial-birth abortion case, the Catholic Bishops are trying to be an engine for change. And as far as I’m concerned, they’re on the right track.

So the blood-pump starts working. Does it really matter? Culture has attached far more significence to the heart than it deserves.

So, you guys are unhappy at CREW because they go after corrupt politicians, most of whom are Republican? If you guys are dismissing them because of their funding, then I should dismiss the logic of organizations that are funded by Scaife and Horowitz.
