I have a confession to make. Simply, I have been unworried, untroubled and unconcerned. I was unwilling to take the time to study the subject of life and unenthusiastic about preserving it. Abortion didn’t affect me, so, why should I invest any thought into the debate? Although I did not believe in abortion, I was disposed to allowing the mother to make her own decision … she would have to live with it. In short, it was none of my business.
A few years back, during the process of a sexual assault investigation, I was sent to get evidence at a Planned Parenthood clinic. The alleged victim in the case decided to have an abortion and I was to pick up the aborted fetus and take it to the crime lab for DNA analysis. And to the clinic I went, totally unprepared for what I was to encounter. I told an employee that I was there to retrieve a fetus. I was immediately told that it was not a fetus, rather, it was a “product of conception.” Moments later, I was handed a small, plastic bag. (Another confession: My stomach turned violently and I almost vomited.) I did not see a “product of conception” in that bag, I saw a murdered baby. It’s hard to relate the emotional turmoil that I subsequently went through. I can, and frequently do, deal with dead bodies. But I was totally repulsed by the fact that riding next to me in my patrol car, in a cooler, packed in ice, was an innocent victim who was robbed of the opportunity to live its life.
It is my business. No longer will I allow those who support abortion to dehumanize a baby by calling it a “product of conception.”
It is my business. No longer will I fail to uphold my duty to protect all innocent life.
It is my business. No longer will I violate my oath by not defending the God given right to life.
It is my business. No longer shall I be complacent.

On this day that Barack Hussein Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize, I will reminder people that Mother Teresa (Nobel Peace Prize winner) called abortion “the greatest destroyer of peace in the world”.
The Leftists who support, promote “Human Rights”, “Children’s Rights”, visions of Global holding of hands and dancing in green meadows, “abortion on demand”, etc. are self promoting humanists so caring that nobody on Earth but themselves can lead the World into the future.
The gullible have purchased the Leftist’s Edsel.
One major element in the character of the Leftist however is missing. That element, that ingredient in their stew makes their leadership totally unpalatable.
They have no respect for humanity. They are phonies. They care only about themselves, their World, and how they can use the World for their benefit.
They must be exposed for free people to remain free.
