Tim Tebow Responds to Criticism about the Superbowl Ad Controversy
Hang tough, Tim. You know you are doing the right thing. Remember that Christ said "If they hate you, remember, they hated me first."
We could use more Tim Tebows in this world.
Planned Parenthood Makes an Ad to Counter Tebow Ad
Gentleman, with all due respect, you are both African-American and absolutely must educate yourselves about the racism that started Planned Parenthood and continues to this day. I have posted about this countless times on this blog. Many in the African-American community are just now coming to realize, through the writings of Margaret Sanger, that the founder of Planned Parenthood was a full-blown racist and anti-Semite whose goal was extermination of peoples she referred to as "weeds." The proabortion crowd is running scared and I have to say, this ad is weak in every respect.

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.
Lila Rose Attacked by Planned Parenthood Abortion Center Escort

Pro-Life Activist Lila Rose Attacked by Planned Parenthood Abortion Center Escort
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
December 18, 2009
San Jose, CA (LifeNews.com) -- Lila Rose has made a name for herself exposing the abuses at Planned Parenthood centers, such as staffers misleading women about abortion or hiding cases of sexual abuse. Rose became a victim herself Thursday morning as a Planned Parenthood staff member attacked her.
Late Thursday morning at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility located at 1691 The Alameda in San Jose, California, Rose led a group of pro-life advocates.
Rose tells LifeNews.com she was visiting the abortion center with a group of about 20students and three adults to pray and provide information to women who might be open to abortion alternatives.
According to a police report filed at the scene and numerous witnesses, a uniformed Planned Parenthood escort engaged in a short exchange with Rose and eventually struck her on the hand, knocking her literature to the ground.
"Sir, are you familiar with the abortion procedure?" Rose asked the Planned Parenthood escort while standing on the public sidewalk.
The escort approached Rose from the Planned Parenthood parking lot and said, "You idiot. You've caused so much trouble. You piece of crap."
Rose told LifeNews.com today: "The man appeared to recognize me though I had never met him. He knew who I was and I think that is part of the reason for his surprising anger and the attack."
Rose offered to show the escort a picture of a baby victimized by abortion, saying, "Can I show you a picture of what it really does to a baby?"
At this point, the escort struck Rose's hand knocking her pro-life pamphlets and Bible to the ground and Rose stepped further back on the public sidewalk.
The Planned Parenthood official moved closer to Rose and, visibly shaking, says, "It's a woman's choice!"
"What about the baby's choice?" Rose responds.
The Planned Parenthood escort replied, "It's not a baby!" and then turned around and walked away.
Rose, the president of Live Action, tells LifeNews.com that the police were called and interviewed her and several witnesses on the scene.
She says she was not injured by the attack but will press for charges of assault and battery.
Rose told LifeNews.com she's not concerned about the attack in one sense because unborn children face worse.
"The attack against me cannot even begin to compare with the lethal attacks that take place twice a week at that same clinic against completely defenseless unborn children. I am thankful I live in a nation where my life is protected by law, and the lives of sidewalk counselors, and we will continue to fight for the day when our laws recognize our fellow unborn brothers and sisters as persons with the right to life," she said.
Rose said she received good news this morning.
"A woman who thought she was pregnant and considering abortion, bound for Planned Parenthood , turned around, and one of the parents and their daughter at the clinic drove her and her friend to the criis pregnancy center," she said.
'She was crying and so happy because she said she wanted 'a sign from God' not to get an abortion. And the sidewalk counselors and students praying were her sign," Rose concluded.

Megyn Kelly Destroys Gloria Allred Over Tim Tebow Ad
What exactly is the proabortion crowd so afraid of? To hear them shriek, this small ad at Superbowl is going to take away a woman's right to choose whether or not to kill her own baby in the womb. Gloria Allred wants the "whole story" told. That would have been nice back in the day when Roe v Wade was being passed into our forever horrified consciousness. The truth would have been nice. Bernard Nathanson wrote that at the time he was involved in inflating the numbers of deaths from illegal abortions. Though he had an epiphany regarding abortion when the advent of ultrasound allowed him to witness, first hand, a fetus being torn apart in the womb, the proabortion crowd is still using the boogey man tactic of deaths from illegal abortions. Jim Daly counters Ms. Allred with the fact that abortion was legal in the Philippines at the time and can be easily researched. The proabortion crowd is frothing at the mouth and striking out like the mad dog that they are. Megyn Kelly does a fine job here with Ms. Allred. I especially like her comment when she asks Ms. Allred that isn't the right to free speech more speech, not less. Ms. Allred just doesn't have a chance against Megyn. BTW, Megyn just got back from four month maternity leave and is looking lovely as ever.

Abortion Addict admits to having had 15 abortions in 17 years
This story from the Dailymail is a shining example of the fallacy that abortion is not being used as a means of birth control. Note that the woman in question, who decided what she had done was noteworthy enough to write a book about, has regrets that she "let the woman's movement down." That's right, she did. She chose to carry two of her pregnancies to term. What a disappointment. Just when you think you have heard it all. However, the fact is that the number of women who have multiple abortions is increasing, though nowhere near the horror that this woman has produced.
A woman has admitted to being 'an abortion addict' after having 15 terminations over 17 years. Irene Vilar said she had the abortions not from poverty or fear but as an extraordinary act of rebellion against her 'controlling' husband who did not want children. The 40-year-old's confession has unleashed a torrent of attacks from anti-abortion activists on the internet, including death threats and demands for her to be jailed.
The cycle of pregnancies and abortions, which began when she was 16 and ended when she was 33, was also punctuated by several suicide attempts. Now a successful literary agent with two young daughters, Loretta, five, and Lolita, three, Mrs Vilar has written about her experiences in a memoir, called Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict.
The book, which was published yesterday, has shocked many Americans, who remain bitterly divided over the issue, and has angered campaigners on both sides of the abortion divide. Charmaine Yoest, president of pro-life pressure group Americans United for Life, said: 'It really underscores everything we always say in the pro-life movement - that abortion is part of a very sad story for women.'
However, pro-choice campaigners said Mrs Vilar's book raises uncomfortable questions about abortion as a form of birth control.
Mrs Vilar said of the book's reception: 'I am worried about my safety and the hate mail. I just imagine the "baby killer" stuff and I could be a poster child for that kind of fundamentalism.' My note: No, you could be a poster child for someone who used abortion as a means of contraception. That's what you are.
The attractive one-time academic prodigy attended a boarding school in New Hampshire and was accepted into a New York university when she was only 15. A year later, she fell in love and married a 50-year-old Latin American literature professor, who she says was opposed to having children. She claims he bragged that his relationships never lasted more than five years and told that having children killed sexual desire. In response, Mrs Vilar said she rebelled by 'forgetting' to take her birth control pills. My Note: Is this just a tad disingenuous?
'In the beginning I was taking pills and I'd skip a day or two or give up one month,' she said in a television interview. 'I'd think I'll be better next time. My note: Still no mention of the word responsibility. Well, we all know what an enormous hassle taking a pill a day is.
'But slowly, my days took on a balancing act and there was a specific high. I would get my period and be sad, then discover I was pregnant, being afraid, yet also so excited.' My note: Excited about what, having a living human being dissected piecemeal from your womb. Yeah, I can see how that would excite someone like YOU!
She claimed she had the abortions so her husband wouldn't leave her although she failed to reveal whether he knew of the terminations. My note: My head is going to explode.
'Of course, this did not mean I wanted to do it again and again,' she said. 'A druggie also wants to stop every time. My comment: I have no words.
'Women have written memoirs about their anorexia or their bulimia, and they explain the best that they can what motivated their addiction or their behaviour. I try to do the same in this book.' My note: Comparing anorexia or bulimia to multiple abortions is like comparing Hitler to Mother Teresa.
Although she said she did not see herself as a victim, she admitted she felt she had let the women's movement down. Now re-married, she is raising their two daughters and two teenage stepchildren in Denver, Colorado. My note: She is right, she is not a victim. Her 15 dead children are!
'Motherhood has made me feel accountable,' she said. 'It hasn't made me less pro-choice. My note: Accountable to what exactly you stupid cow! How about being RESPONSIBLE. There's a word that doesn't ever seem to appear in the "prochoice" crowd.
'It's just that I understand and feel the weight of the privilege we have in exercising our right to choose.' My note: Oh My GOD, could you possibly be any more facetious. You understand the weight of the privilege in exercising your right to choose!! This woman has no soul. 15 abortions have certainly been weighty for her.

Tim Tebow's Superbowl Prolife Ad
Tim Tebow's Superbowl prolife ad has certainly raised the hackles of the pro-abortion crowd! Tim's mother was advised to abort Tim when she became ill in the Philippines while carrying him. She chose LIFE and Tim is an example of the fine men and women abortion has deprived of life. However, Tim is not the first athlete to speak out against abortion. In 1987, Wellington Mara, co-owner of the New York Giants, produced a 9 minute video featuring members of this Superbowl team. George Martin, an African American defensive end, compares Roe v. Wade, which said "unborn babies have no rights," to the "shameful Dred Scott decision that said that black people have no rights." This ties in with an earlier post today. This is that video. (Many thanks to the Washington Post for the video and the information about the video.)
Here's another great pro-life ad, rejected by the major networks.
Here's another great pro-life ad, rejected by the major networks.
Modern Day Black Genocide - Margaret Sanger - Racist
Yesterday, while driving through town, I passed Planned Parenthood. There are usually a few hardy and brave Pro-Life protestors standing outside and that day was no exception. When I can, I roll down my window and give them the thumbs up or honk and say God Bless. This day, they were holding a protest sign I had not seen them use before. It said simply, in large black bold letters, BLACK GENOCIDE.
There can be no doubt that Margaret Sanger was a racist of the highest degree. Her legacy, in her own words and deeds, cannot be denied. Margaret Sanger spoke of sterilizing those she designated as "unfit," a plan she said would be the "salvation of American civilization. She also talked about those who were "irresponsible and reckless," among whom she included those "whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers." She further contended that "there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped." That many Americans of African origin constituted a segment of Sanger considered "unfit" cannot be easily refuted.
The eugenic theme figured prominently in the Birth Control Review, which Sanger founded in 1917. She published such articles as "Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics" (June 1920), "The Eugenic Conscience" (February 1921), "The purpose of Eugenics" (December 1924), "Birth Control and Positive Eugenics" (July 1925), "Birth Control: The True Eugenics" (August 1928), and many others.
The following are just a few of Margaret Sanger's statements regarding eugenics and what she considered to be inferior races, including blacks and Jews.
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with
social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most
successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.
We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro
population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if
it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith
Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in
Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth
Control in America . New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
"Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying
... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ...
[Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the
world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of
others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead
weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the
stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world,
it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying
for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing,
unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born
at all."

Cruelty of Charity," pages 116, 122, and 189. Swarthmore College Library

"Today eugenics is suggested by the most diverse minds as the most
adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and
social problems.
"I think you must agree ... that the campaign for birth control is not
merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical with the final aims
of eugenics ... Birth control propaganda is thus the entering wedge for the
eugenic educator.
"As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the
unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly
the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the
inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this
matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feebleminded,
the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be
held up for emulation.
"On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and
discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective."
-- Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda."

"Give dysgenic groups [people with 'bad genes'] in our population
their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization."
-- Margaret Sanger, April 1932 Birth Control Review .
"The third group [of society] are those irresponsible and reckless
ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose
religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers.
Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper
element dependent upon the normal and fit members of society for their
support. There is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the
procreation of this group should be stopped."

Control Conference . Held at the Hotel Plaza, New York City, November 11-

and 174.
"In passing, we should here recognize the difficulties presented by the
idea of 'fit' and 'unfit.' Who is to decide this question? The grosser,
the more obvious, the undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be
discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind. But among the
writings of the representative Eugenists [sic], one cannot ignore the
distinct middle-class bias that prevails."

"There is only one reply to a request for a higher birthrate among the
intelligent, and that is to ask the government to first take the burden of
the insane and feeble-minded from your back. [Mandatory] sterilization for
these is the answer."

"[Slavs, Latin, and Hebrew immigrants are] human weeds ... a
deadweight of human waste ... [Blacks, soldiers, and Jews are a] menace to
the race."
"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent
Multiplication of this bad stock."
-- Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review .
"[Our objective is] unlimited sexual gratification without the burden
of unwanted children ... [Women must have the right] to live ... to love
... to be lazy ... to be an unmarried mother ... to create ... to destroy

is to kill it."

The above quotes were compiled by the American Life League
It is no mistake that the majority of Planned Parenthood offices are located in low income, oftentimes predominantly black areas. 36% of abortions occur within the black community.
Recently, many in the black community have started to take notice of this trend and to delve further into the true motive of Margaret Sanger. In her lifetime, Ms. Sanger received many rewards. One must then wonder what reward she received upon her death. The death of millions and millions of innocent victims and the ruination of the lives of many of women who had the abortions. Those women are starting to speak out as well. Abortion does not just affect women. The fathers of these unborn children and the families are all affected. Silent No More offers powerful testimony that abortion is very often not the right "solution." The fact is, it is not a right at all and should be abolished. What began as a guise and ruse for a racist, has now turned into a multi-million dollar industry performing abortion on demand as a means of birth control. I personally know several women who have had multiple abortions. There simply can be no excuse for this.
If you live your life as if there is no God, you have better be right.

Republican Senator Judd Gregg Reacts to MSNBC Host
I went back and listened to her question several times to see if her wide eyed innocence, "just asking a question" was indeed true. It isn't. She was obviously loading a question in the worst possible way, with malice and bias. Good for you, Senator Gregg. Republicans have finally found their backbones. It's about time! This woman obviously watches Keith Olbermann way too much. I am just sayin'. Hattip Newsbusters

Again, I ask myself,who are these people who keep electing San Fran Nan? Do they really not care about this sort of behavior.

Memorial to My Father, Verl Glen Coons
My father died in January of 1990, now 20 years ago. It's hard to believe he has been gone so long. Years ago, I did a memorial video of him, which I posted on You Tube to share with my friends and family. Unfortunately, the video was 13 minutes long and You Tube would only allow me 10 minutes length, so the end is truncated and many of the pictures are missing. However, it's still quite a video of a remarkable man who accomplished heroic feats in his lifetime.
Libera - Going Home
My friend, Helen, sent this video to me. This just happens to be my favorite song and one of the songs I used for the memorial video I did of my father. It's also the song I wish played at my funeral. It's simply beautiful as done by these sweet young boys. Take a moment and enjoy.

Jon Stewart Slams Keith Olbermann
This is just priceless. Granted, I am not a Jon Stewart fan, but I have noticed that he rises to the occasion when he sees something like Olbermann's rant against Scott Brown as just plain wrong, which it was, and is. Baseless accusations by a man who I believe is totally unhinged.

Unborn Babies, Mothers ‘Wounded’ from Abortion Deserve Compassion Too, Republicans Say
Friday, January 22, 2010
By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer
Tens of thousands of people gathered at the National Mall on Friday to march to the Supreme Court building where the landmark Roe v. Wade decision was made 37 years ago legalizing abortion. A rally, including gospel songs by singers from Liberty College, was held before the march. (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)
(CNSNews.com) – Republican legislators joined tens of thousands of people on the National Mall on Friday to commemorate the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.
And as the nation and the world reach out to help the children and adults who survived the deadly earthquake in Haiti, Republicans said Americans should not forget the more than 50 million unborn children whose lives were ended by abortion.
“I think about that all the time,” Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) told CNSNews.com. “The hypocrisy that’s involved with how concerned they are after children are born and how little concern they have for children before they are born.”
“I believe that the compassion and generosity of the American people is in high relief in Haiti, but frankly I think it’s also in high relief in the pro-life movement,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) told CNSNews.com.
He credited the spread of the non-profit pregnancy resource centers, which help women find alternatives to abortion, as one of the cornerstones of the expanding pro-life movement.
Marchers carried signs, including one that used children's author Dr. Seuss to make a point about the value of all life. Since 1973, more than 50 million unborn children have been killed by abortion. (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)
“One of the great advances in the pro-life movement in the last 20 years has been the emergence of pregnancy crisis centers,” Pence said. “I think one of the reasons why a clear majority in most polls support the right to life is because the American people know that this is not an argument over austere legal questions.
“This is a deeply compassionate argument that has the interest of the unborn and the interest of women at the very center of it,” Pence said.
“There has been almost a schizophrenic view when it comes to regarding the unborn child as expendable and throwaways,” Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) told CNSNews.com. “We have greatly and – thankfully – passionately stepped up to the plate to help people who are suffering from catastrophes like the Haitian earthquake.
“But I would hope that the same moral imperative and the same compassion we reach out to the people who have been buried in buildings – and many people in my own district have loved ones and relatives who have been buried and killed – our hearts go out to them,” he said.
“But our hearts should go out in a like manner to the unborn and to the wounded mothers from abortion,” Smith said. “So there is a double standard.”
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said the earthquake in Haiti and abortion are both human tragedies that should make people value every human life.
“On this day we come to celebrate life and plead with the hard hearts that remain here in Washington to overturn Roe versus Wade and bring us back to the sanctity of life,” King said. “I feel badly for the people in Haiti – it’s the worst natural tragedy in the history of this hemisphere.
“And I think that if the people in this country could hear the cries of the unborn, who are so brutally treated, they would have the same compassion for unborn Americans that they have for the tragedy in Haiti,” King said.

On stage, representatives from pro-life and pro-family groups told the crowd that they were responsible for making sure the goals of the pro-life movement succeed, from overturning Roe v. Wade to making sure women who carry their babies to term have the support they need.
People of all ages and from across the country attended the event, including 41 students from Dominican High School in Whitefish Bay, Wis.
“I support that women have other choices than to kill their innocent child,” 15-year-old Genevieve Hoang told CNSNews.com. “And euthanasia I don’t support either.”
Susan Diiorio of Newberry, N.J., said she has a personal reason for being a pro-life activist.
“Being handicapped myself, I’m very concerned over the issue, because we have a president who said life is a matter of convenience,” Diiorio said. “During his campaign speech he said that he would not want his daughters to suffer with a child because she made a mistake.
Men and women who are part of the Silent No More Campaign shared stories about how abortion has hurt them. They carried signs that said "I regret my abortion." Others carried signs mourning the loss of fatherhood from abortion. (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)
“That causes me great concern, because if he would take the life of his own grandchild, what would he or those who support him do for someone like me,” Diiorio said. “So I’m here not only for the babies, but for those of us that are handicapped, who have disabilities.”
One of the most touching moments came when Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) took the stage with her two-year-old son.
“I’m the proud mother of my two-year-old son, who happens to have Down syndrome,” McMorris Rodgers said, adding that she is “heartbroken” by the fact that 90 percent of babies diagnosed with the genetic disorder in utero are aborted.
“We can show them a better way,” she said. “A way that protects life.”
“Thanks for coming today,” McMorris Rodgers said. “You are standing up for your children. You are standing up for my son, Cole Rodgers. You’re standing up for the future of America.”

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.
