January 22, 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of Roe vs Wade and what better way to celebrate than by making a tasteless and disturbing video to mark the occasion. Shameful, sinful, and nearly unforgivable. 40 years and nearly 55 million deaths later, are we better off as humans that this bill was passed by the Supreme Court, made into law, as a "right." A right to end the life of the most defenseless of humans. I say we are not and it is no occasion to celebrate, but to mourn.

National Right to Life endorses Mitt Romney for President.
By Carol Tobias, National Right to Life President
Editor’s note. The following is the opening statement from National Right to Life’s press conference this morning at which NRLC endorsed Mitt Romney for President.
National Right to Life is proud and honored to endorse Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States.
On pro-life issues, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama provide a stark contrast. As the country’s most pro-abortion president, Barack Obama has pursued a radical pro-abortion agenda. It is now time for pro-life Americans to unite behind Mitt Romney. For the sake of unborn children, the disabled, and the elderly, we must win.
Let’s review President Obama’s abysmal record on life.
On his second day in office, January 22, 2009, President Obama issued a statement reaffirming his commitment to defend the Roe v Wade ruling, which gave us abortion on demand. On his third day in office, he overturned the “Mexico City Policy” so that hundreds of millions of our tax dollars would be given to organizations that perform and promote abortion overseas. Our tax dollars are given to organizations that go into heavily pro-life countries in Central and South America, and Africa, and are used to lobby against the current pro-life laws in those countries.
Another of his early acts was to release $50 million to the United Nations Population Fund – an agency that had received no U.S. funds under the Bush Administration because of its involvement in China’s one-child population-control program, which relies heavily upon forced abortion as part of their population control policy. Forced abortions among women who violate the one-child policy in China are commonplace and sometimes carried out up to nine months of pregnancy. They can be so violent that the women die along with their full term babies.
President Obama authorized taxpayer funding of research that requires killing human embryos.
Last spring, the United States House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” a bill to permanently prohibit any federal program from funding elective abortion. Prior to the vote, the Obama administration attacked the bill and threatened to veto it if passed. He wants our hard-earned tax dollars to pay for the killing of unborn children.
President Obama indicated he would veto the entire federal spending bill — forcing a government shutdown — rather than accept a provision cutting funding to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.
In February 2011, the Obama Administration rescinded a regulation that had been issued by the Bush Administration, which would have protected health-care providers from being penalized for refusing to participate in providing abortions
But even more far-reaching than all of this, is how the president is impacting our health care system. In 2010, Congress passed and President Obama signed into law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare. Today, every fifth child dies from abortion; that number will go even higher because of ObamaCare. This program will enshrine abortion and rationing of health care in our society for generations to come if it isn’t stopped.
While some would like to call into question Mitt Romney’s pro-life position, let me state clearly and emphatically, “Mitt Romney IS pro-life.”
Roe v. Wade is the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on demand in all 50 states. Mitt Romney believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned.

Everyone Against Abortion, Raise Your Hand
The spot above was put together by Priests for Life. Rejected by all networks in the United States, it has just been accepted to be aired in Canada. The image of the video is stunning. The perfectly formed hand and arm of a 28-week-old fetus. With our technology, this young boy could have lived outside the womb. His name was David and he is one of the faces of abortion. The images are hard to view. All abortion images are. They speak to most of us in our hearts and minds. They make us cry and they make us angry. We pray and we shout. We do our best to see that children such as this little boy are born and given a chance at life. Yet there are those in this society who do not see this child as a living human being. They do not watch these videos. They do not read Bernard Nathanson or any other book on the truth about abortion. They turn their eyes and mind and hearts from the pictures of the pro-life protestors and they rail against those protesting. To them, it has become imperative to dehumanize abortion in order to tolerate it.

The Anniversary of a Travesty Roe vs Wade
March for Life held their grand rally today in Washington. However, Rick Sanchez from CNN just could not seem to figure out what was going on. I guess the "March for Life" threw him. I am so proud of those who could and did go. One day, I will be there with them. I was certainly there in spirit. I remember 37 years ago when Roe vs Wade passed. I was living in Norman, Oklahoma, had just had my second child, a daughter. My oldest daughter was nearly 4. I had stopped at a drive in to get some drinks for us and was just putting my baby in her car seat when it was announced on the radio that Roe vs Wade had passed through legislation. It was one of those moments forever frozen in my mind. Like where I was when Kennedy was killed (study hall in school), or when 9/11 occurred (optometrist's office). I feel the same way today that I felt then, a sense of complete and utter dismay that something like this could have ever happened HERE. I am as vehemently opposed to it now as I was then and I always will be. Scroll down my side bar on the left of my blog and you will see many pro-life placards. I like to quote Ronald Reagan when he said that everyone for abortion had already been born. A simple quote, a simple truth. If we do not speak for the unborn, who will? Here are some words from the great Ronald Reagan:
Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation (1983)
ISBN 0964112531
We must all educate ourselves to the reality of the horrors taking place.
* Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court's result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right.
* The decision by the seven-man majority in Roe v. Wade has so far been made to stick. But the Court's decision has by no means settled the debate. Instead, Roe v. Wade has become a continuing prod to the conscience of the nation.
* We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life — the unborn — without diminishing the value of all human life.
* If you don't know whether a body is alive or dead, you would never bury it. I think this consideration itself should be enough for all of us to insist on protecting the unborn.
* The real question today is not when human life begins, but, What is the value of human life?
* The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being.
* Regrettably, we live at a time when some persons do not value all human life. They want to pick and choose which individuals have value.
* As a nation, we must choose between the sanctity of life ethic and the "quality of life" ethic. I have no trouble identifying the answer our nation has always given to this basic question, and the answer that I hope and pray it will give in the future.
* As a nation today, we have not rejected the sanctity of human life. The American people have not had an opportunity to express their view on the sanctity of human life in the unborn. I am convinced that Americans do not want to play God with the value of human life. It is not for us to decide who is worthy to live and who is not. Even the Supreme Court's opinion in Roe v. Wade did not explicitly reject the traditional American idea of intrinsic worth and value in all human life; it simply dodged this issue.
* We must all educate ourselves to the reality of the horrors taking place. Doctors today know that unborn children can feel a touch within the womb and that they respond to pain.
* Late-term abortions, especially when the baby survives, but is then killed by starvation, neglect, or suffocation, show once again the link between abortion and infanticide. The time to stop both is now.
* It is possible that the Supreme Court itself may overturn its abortion rulings. We need only recall that in Brown v. Board of Education the court reversed its own earlier "separate-but-equal" decision.
* As we continue to work to overturn Roe v. Wade, we must also continue to lay the groundwork for a society in which abortion is not the accepted answer to unwanted pregnancy. Pro-life people have already taken heroic steps, often at great personal sacrifice, to provide for unwed mothers.
* We will never recognize the true value of our own lives until we affirm the value in the life of others.
* We cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning.
Before moving on to another story, Sanchez did read a tweet from Sarah Palin on the march: “She tweets at this moment, and I will share it to with you: ‘Affirming dignity & worth of every innocent human life & defending the defenseless are fundamental American values, so march peacefully & hopefully.’ That’s from Sarah Palin’s camp.”
Hat tip Newsbusters for the video and the Sarah Palin comment.
