And what have you done?
I’ll tell you what Marty has done. He has sat on his sanctimonious high horse making light of people who invest their time and treasure into it.
I don’t think we should make this a battle over which of us has done more for the pro-life cause. The issue is the discussion about Cain being “100% pro-life with nothing to prove”. Well, pro-lifers NEVER take a pro-life position at face value, and ALL politicians have something to prove, through actions.
I’ve been involved in the pro-life movement since I was a teenager (I wonder if anybody here remembers the group “Last Days Ministries”, run by Keith and Melody Green). I’ve done picketing, I’ve done the rallies, I passed out pamphlets, I’ve signed petitions, I’ve lobbied my representatives. I vote pro-life, I write about pro-life issues. But many people have done a lot more than I have. I haven’t done enough for the millions being killed by our pro-abortion policies.
Cain has never held office, so he has no record to judge. We have to look at what he HAS done, to decide how committed he is to pushing pro-life causes. His speeches from June to September suggested he had no interest in pushing pro-life, he was happy to grab the label, but couldn’t articulate what if anything he would DO as President to earn that label. And he still hasn’t done much.
But now he’s signed this pledge, and he has consistantly said he’d appoint pro-life judges, and he did say he’d sign a bill that banned abortion, which actually was in question there for a little while.
