Black Pro-Life Advocates Oppose Palin Endorsement of Pro-Choice Karen Handel

By Christian Newswire

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Black pro-life leaders in Georgia today strongly opposed Governor Palin’s endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel. “It is with a heavy heart that we express our profound disappointment with Governor Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Planned Parenthood’s benefactor, candidate Karen Handel,” said Dr. Alveda King, (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) pro-life advocate and leader in the Black Pro-life Movement...

Maybe Sarah needs to get more selective in her endorsements and with more due diligence.

I agree. She does way too many endorsements in my view. At some point will a Palin endorsement even mean anything?

She would have been wise to stay out of this one, judging by the comments on this thread.

Pissy is second.

Wow, you must have your radar up for these threads big time, hoping to score a pissy moment against an endorsement.

A little obsessed are we?

You might want to read post 9....it'll ruin your schtick.

No, you did NOT just read that.

Settle down your over-wrought heart and pay attention.

This is not about a black group. It happens to be about one of the most vocal pro-life people in America.

Dr. Alveda King - and those who support her (like me - a typical white person) are out there speading the message that abortion targets black people.

It’s a racist, murderous act. Black Genocide. I deeply respect Sarah Palin. But Alveda King is far more correct in this matter.

Unfortunately for Eric, he doesn’t have ovaries, or amnesty credentials like Mccain or Perry.

Well Straw-man lover, let's start with Perry.

Who would you have had her endorse in that race?

How are Mccain and Perry and Fiorina and Ayotte and Haley and Handel pragmatic.

And then let's go onto Haley.

What is it about Haley that makes you think she is a moderate of such consequence that endorsing her over the others made it a bad choice on the part of Sarah's?

Did you read post 9?

Did anyone?

It sounds like the King woman jumped a bit too soon.

With regards to Fiorina, what part of Devore not being able to win that race don't you understand?

Devore was an excellent candidate, however, he really didn't seem interested in winning that race, in fact I don't believe he actually believed he could win, until late in the race.

However, much like your Precious Hunter, who is also an awesome candidate, he was never going to win that race.

Yes, yes. Of course, I’m obsessed. But a funny thing keeps repeating itself. I make dozens of posts each day about myriad subjects. Yet there are about 30 ankle biters that start gnawing each time I post about Precious. Now what were you saying about obsessed again?

With regards to Handel, show me the objective evidence, not the campaign rhetoric of those running against her and her supporters.

She has explained her past actions where she has been accused of being pro-abort. Seems plausible to me, so where's the evidence to support your accusation against her?

Thank you for providing the information. From her statements it doesn’t sound as if she is pro-abortion except for very limited circumstances

Certainly is difficult when you have to hustle to raise every nickel going up against a gal who can loan herself a cool $4 million. That’s a tough row to hoe.

Even tougher when you have celebrity politicians like Precious trying to bury you by raising 100s of 1000s more for the Rinette.

You. You're insanely obsessed.

You know nothing about the candidate, yet you drop in to try to trash her so you can score points in your imaginary crusade to get Duncan Hunter the GOP nomination.

That's obsession. No, that's insanity. You need a new life big time.

Endorsing McCain was not pragmatic on her part, it was more than likely out of gratitude and loyalty to the man that gave her the National Stage she is on right now.

Hayworth is the better candidate. I hope he wins.

You will also notice, except for one trip to AZ where she stumped for him and I believe recorded some robo-calls for him, she has been back more than once to AZ and has not campaigned for him again.

Your bitterness and hatred against Sarah are on display again Pissant.

Hey, when is your Precious Hunter going to stop fishing and get in the fight like Sarah has been since 2008?

Pissant, you need to look in the mirror.

You've joined the select few Freepers who can truly be called Ankle-biters.

In fact, you seem to be channeling Bob J.

Funny, you keep telling me that. Yet, once again, I happily support a solid batch of conservatives that will potentially run. But because that list no longer includes your amnesty queen, the ankle biters, come out of the woodwork each and every day like the ringwraiths searching for Precious.

I’m still waiting to see a cultist post a positive article on another conservative and encourage him to run. I’m sure I just missed yours.

What pro-life leaders say about Karen Handel Sarah Palin Former Alaska Governor and Republican Nominee for Vice-President “I’m proud to lend my support to a great commonsense conservative woman running for Governor this year in the Peach State. My recent visit back to this beautiful area allowed me to meet more of the patriotic Americans who call Georgia home and who are ready for a reformer to help strengthen their families, businesses, state and, ultimately, our United States. “Karen Handel is that reformer. Throughout her career in public office – from serving as Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to Georgia’s Secretary of State – Karen has brought the common sense fiscal discipline and positive change in government that is needed now more than ever. “Though considered an underdog candidate (more power to her!), this pro-life, pro-Constitutionalist with a can-do attitude and a record of fighting for ethics in government is ready to serve in the Governor’s Office. She’ll balance budgets and help spur Georgia’s economy. Her plan will contribute to America’s roadmap which can benefit all of us. “Please join me in supporting this good conservative reformer who will work tirelessly for the Peach State. --------------------------------- Sue Everhart Chairman, Republican Party of Georgia “Karen Handel is pro-life. I don’t care what any other group says.” ----------------------------------------------------------- Adrienne Susong Former Director, Georgia Right to Life PAC “Karen is a loyal and trusted friend to conservatives in the pro-life, pro-family movement in Georgia. As Secretary of State, she championed conservative causes like Photo ID and Proof of Citizenship for Voting. I’m supporting Karen because I believe that she will be a pro-life, pro-family, conservative Governor. Please join me in supporting Karen Handel in the Republican Primary for Governor.” ------------------------------- Dr. Benny Tate Senior Pastor, Milner, Georgia “I have known Karen and Steve for a number of years. They’ve worshipped with me and my congregation often and are strong, committed Christians. I’m supporting Karen because I know she’ll be led by her faith as Governor and will hold true to her strong conservative values.” ---------- Stephen Dillard Georgia 8th Congressional District Chairman for Governor Mike Huckabee (2008) “Karen Handel is absolutely committed to promoting a culture of life here in Georgia. And while I happen to share GRTL’s views on the issues in question, I am disappointed that it has chosen to make the perfect the enemy of the good. I have spoken with Karen at length about these issues, and I am convinced that she has a heart for protecting unborn children. Her willingness to permit abortions in certain rare circumstances is grounded in the reality of the current political landscape, and should in no way be interpreted as a belief on her part that children conceived by rape or incest are somehow less than fully human. Karen firmly believes that each and every unborn child has inherent dignity, that every abortion is a tragedy, and that government has a role, along with the faith community, in encouraging women to choose life in even the most difficult of circumstances. I am proud to support Karen Handel’s candidacy to be the next governor of our state, and I strongly encourage my fellow pro-lifers to do so as well.” ------------------------------------------------------------Elaine Boyer DeKalb County Commissioner “My husband and I got involved in politics through the pro-life movement in the 1980′s and I have been a pro-life office holder since 1992. I was shocked to see Georgia Right to Life’s endorsements yesterday and I found their comments about Karen Handel to be insulting. I have been and continue to be a proud supporter of my friend, and pro-life candidate, Karen Handel to be Georgia’s next Governor.” 69 posted on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 10:37:46 AM by meadsjn (Sarah 2012, or sooner)

Any money that goes to Planned Parenthood for so-called good purposes simply frees up PP’s other resources to do more abortions — their one true mission is to promote abortion around the world. Interesting that only PP met the “vendor” qualifications to apply for these grants - wonder who made that so? Surely there are other groups out there that can help promote “Healthy Babies” - geez, what hypocrisy.

Yes, to the Palin cultists, everyine who can see through her charade is an ankle biting annoyance. But Bob J’s heroes are amnesty queens, if I recall. Surprised he hasn’t warmed up to Palin yet.
