I will respect your feelings about Terri — you may recall I disagreed. I shan’t be pontificating on that subject (my old posts pretty much cover the subject anyway).
But IMHO, abortion is about life where it is clear that the spark of life has been breathed into the soul by God — to be snuffed out is an affront to God and man.
Who can look into the eyes of a baby and then plant a knife in its spine? Only a monster.
He ENCOURAGES it. Remember how he said he wouldn't want his daughter "burdened" by a baby?
Abortion is the bloody and deathly sacrament of the Left.
It’s murder. The left called Bush a murderer for 8 years. We must call Obama a murderer for the next 4 years, relentlessly. Never cease calling him what he is, a murderer
Ronald Reagan's speech to CPAC in 1975, "Let Them Go Their Way" is the most inspiring template for conservative success you can ever read.

Saving lives requires the changing of minds, which requires the changing of values and beliefs.
And once you get that part right, the rest will follow. Hence the “all these things shall be added unto you”. I’m trying to save lives too.
Yes -- and I'll get the word out as much as I can. Lets make this "viral" and get it out there.
On every blog site, we must refer to Obama and the Murdering Messiah
Although there are some soulless people who don't feel any guilt at all about abortion, I would expect that a lot of the people involved with abortion (either because they had one themselves, or have a friend that did so) feel that the only way to avoid being consumed by guilt is to deny that abortion is wrong. Such denial never really quite works, but the more people feel consumed by guilt, the stronger the denial reaction becomes.
People need to be told that it's okay to have participated in an abortion, provided that one repents of one's actions and atones by counseling others to avoid the same mistake. I would expect that people who were able to repent and seek atonement--whether on a religious or secular level--would find themselves feeling an amazing amount better than they did before. If such people reached critical mass, there could be a sea change.
Unless or until that happens, though, the pro-life issue is going to be a weight on the Republicans' necks. Not because it isn't the right position, but because so many people are so hard in denial that they would vote for Satan himself before they'd vote for Sarah Palin.
Great idea -- I'll start with my sig and see where we can go from there!
Thread by me
"It is clear that Mr. Obama will continue the tragic violence against our nation's women and children which has resulted in over 50,000,000 abortions," said Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, in a recent statement.
The focus of the project, according to the press release, will be "to mobilize a public, prayerful and prophetic witness for life to challenge the radical pro-abortion policies of President-elect Barack Obama" on January 21-24, 2009.
"'The Birmingham Letter Project' is about empowering and unleashing the pro-life community to stand against this injustice just as civil rights workers stood against the injustice of segregation, violence and racism a generation ago," said Mahoney.
"We are taking to heart the admonition of Dr. King when he said from a Birmingham jail, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,' and will passionately devote ourselves toward bringing this war on America's children to an end.
"We will not go silently into the night and allow the violence to continue. Instead, we are issuing this national call for the pro-life community to come to the streets of our nation's capital and be a prayerful voice for those who have no voice.
"Our message is clear. Now is the time. We are the people. The killing must end."
Perfect. The Left started the I hate Bush after the 2000 election. The campaign of hatred they embarked on was quite successful. We can learn from our enemies.
So do I, said Gandalf, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Very well said!
I’m starting a new list entitled
Stop Abortion, Obamanation! LOL!
bttt.
Were there any abortion related ballot initiatives out there in 2008, and how did they do?
I remember a couple of years back California voters even rejected parental notification for minors seeking abortions. I would think most, if not all, of the remaining 49 states would reject that.
There were three, parental notification in California, personhood in Colorado and banning abortion except for rape, incest and the mother’s life in South Dakota — they all lost.
How odd that America has laws to prevent cruelty to animals, and animal rights groups to save the whales and baby seal pups, but they will write new laws which allow and condone violent cruel death io innocent human beings.So ironic that they value the life of a soul-less animal above the life of a fetus or newborn with a soul that was given to them by God...
To allow abortion is to allow a terrible offense against God and Heaven..This is a Holocaust as any right thinking person can see..
As a pro-life voter I am hugely discouraged. Its hard to keep a positive outlook. In my opinion for the last 30 years the Republican party has treated this constiuency as a battered wife. Despite their overwhelming support in elections, abortion has remained the law of the due to Republican Presidents putting Souter, O’Connor et al. on the Supreme Court. Had Roe v. Wade been overturned in the last four years and essentially sent back to the states, Obama would have won an even bigger landslide
"Americans have made a grave mistake in electing Barack Obama to the presidency," he said.
Sadly, neither Father Pavone or the people seem to understand that since the federal Constitution says nothing about abortion, the federal government has no power to regulate abortion. So it wouldn't matter if government leaders in all three branches of the federal government are radical pro-abortionists; again, the federal Constitution delegates no power to the federal government make decisions about abortion.
The truth of the matter is that Constitution-ignoring justices not only ignored 10th A. protected state power to regulate abortion in Roe v. Wade, but also wrongly used the 14th A. to find "enumerated" abortion rights in the 9th Amendment. Indeed, John Bingham, the main author of Sec. 1 of the 14th A. had made it clear in congressional records that the 14th A. applied only to enumerated rights decided by the Article V majority, not 9th A. "wild card" rights like abortion found by corrupt justices.
As a side note, consider the following double-standard by the USSC where respecting state's rights are concerned. While the USSC wrongly ignored states's rights in deciding Roe v. Wade, the Court "remembered" states rights when handling the Terri Schiavo case. So it seems that the corrupt Court is willing to honor state's rights if somebody gets killed.
