It’s a bit of an irony that Joe Biden, who has resounding support from “reproductive rights” advocates is publicly calling for “unity” and that the theme for this year’s March For Life is “Together Strong: Life Unites!” Then again, the thing about ironies is they, too, can be ironic. There remains a unifying cause that both old-school liberals like Biden and pro-lifers can rally behind – safeguarding the conscience rights of Americans opposed to abortion.
President Biden, unlike other younger politicians, has never been identified with what one might call, with only a slight exaggeration, the cultural vandalism of progressives. The litmus test for whether Biden will protect his agenda from them, I would suggest, will be his attitude to conscience rights. It would be a disaster if Biden were arm-twisted into dismantling these protections.

When and where will they get it? Can they get it at Evergreen?
Reiss’s answers, he admitted sheepishly, feel woefully inadequate. He wants to offer the vaccine to his 10,000 patients, but couldn’t say whether that will happen, or when he will find out.
“We really don’t know much of anything,” Reiss said. “It’s hard to be optimistic or even critical, because we don’t seem to be in the loop. It’s really just a waiting game.”
