Tahoma delivers
There is a segment of the Left, hopefully small, that is so uncomfortable with anything having to do with the U.S. military that it believes members of the Armed Forces can be referred to as "baby killers."
Yesterday, several members of the crew from the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma (based in Portsmouth, NH), helped a Haitian woman deliver her baby on the deck of the ship.
So, at least in this case, the military acted as baby deliverers, which I suppose would be the opposite of baby killers.
I saw a piece on CNN today, and will try to post the clip if it becomes available, of a newborn (which could be this baby, or another; I am not sure) delivered en route to the U.S.S. Carl Vinson. CNN reported that the mother chose an interesting name for the baby -- Vinson. I don't think the late Congressman from Georgia would mind one bit.

I got that once. I asked him how he knew that I was a part-time abortionist. The joker looked stunned, like I'd kicked him in the face and he didn't know what to do about it.

Wouldn't that be baby makers? :)
Israelis beat us to it, it seems. Contrast this with the shameful behavior of the Belgians.

Dawnfire82, thanks for the link to the piece on Israel (which also made a snarky jab at anti-Zionists).
The IDF is really doing wonderful necessary work in Haiti. Even CNN has gushed about it. Here's one video, which also shows several seconds in the IDF field hospital's maternity ward (where the mother named her new baby "Israel" in gratitude).
