From the ashes of defeat, a phoenix slowly rises.
Am I willing to trade the POTUS for the lives of millions of innocent infants? Please don’t make me choose, but I choose life.
Strange times we are in — but let’s ride and strengthen the good trends.
It’s going to be a tough fight now, as Pro-Death Pelosi, Pro-death Reid, and kill the babies born alive Obama are in office. We have never had this tough of opposition to the sanctity of life ever. These three would kill a baby on site just to satisfy their hatred of them. They are bloodthirsty monsters. Baby killers, children slaughterers. (That’s it, I am going to attack them with the same amount they attacked us)
Amen. Amen. Amen. We are not going to let anything about this election get in the way of doing God’s work. Prayer. Faith. Action. Repeat. :-)
What is horrible about the losses is that Pro-Life groups did not whole heatedly support the propositions. After doing so well to make steady progress with waiting period legislation, and notification laws. There are so many ways to wage war on Abortion in the legal system.
I will be forever humbled by the lengths Eduardo Verastegui and so many others went to in this election and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for so many FReepers who recognize the absolute importance of life. Nevertheless, the election is over and we are now engaged in the most critical battle we will ever fight and for that reason we must look forward.
God Bless

The fight goes on.
the pro-life movement can’t rely on lawyers and trying to change the constitution. That will probably never happen.
It has to be all about education. TV ads.
I think the entire pro-life movement is misguided. Rather than just focus on abortion, maybe they should work to covert more people to Christianity. I don’t mean wishy-washy new age “Christians”, I mean doctrinally correct real Christians.
Because once you do that most if not all of them will come to the right conclusion about life issues.
Christ did not tell us to go out and stop abortions, he told us to spread the Gospel.
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God,and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”
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.

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.
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.
