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...

Karen Handel is the right choice! Her runoff opponent is a former Democrat shyster that fled the US House only a few steps away from Ethics charges. The Good Ol' Boy inside the beltway former Congressman is corrupt, with no executive experiance to boot, and I'll be proud when Handel trounces him in two weeks.
Nathan Deal exceeded congressional limits on outside income and used his U.S. House office and staff to protect money coming from a no-bid state business deal. On March 29, 2010, the Office of Congressional Ethics released a report concluding that Mr. Deal improperly used his office staff to pressure Georgia officials to continue the state vehicle inspection program that generated hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for his family’s auto salvage business.
Spelling correction:
should be ‘Supersedes,’ not ‘Supercedes’
So are these people democrats or republicans? This is just a political attack. Palin’s enemies are just finding new ways of criticising her - Blacks that are Pro-Choice? Yep, maybe, but Democrats and Obama first, always, for sure.
Perhaps your somewhat selective, or need to get around more - both Bachman and DeMint have endorsed controversial candidates.
A black group criticises Palin, and we swallow it hook, line and sinker? Sheesh.
All it tells us is who the Obama$$ & the WH fear.
According to Erick Erickson at RedState...
"But Georgia Right to life is attacking Karen Handel and supporting Nathan Deal. Deal explicitly voted to fund abortions and explicitly voted to fund embryonic stem cell research."
Does Georgia Right to Life Now Support Embryonic Stem Cell Research?
This group also seem to have supported Huckabee in 2008, including Dean Nelson, from the Politically Active Christians, who is quoted in the above article.
Sarah Palin endorsed a strongly prolife woman in this race.
What principles did she compromise?
For the record, Alveda King did not say that Handel was "pro-choice." She only stated that Handel presided over a Planned Parenthood grant (that went to breast cancer screening}.
The "pro-choice" deception came from the writer of the title of the article.

Good grief, you people are retards.
Having fun at your expense is the correct description.......
How's that anti woman animus going for ya? It sure makes you look foolish.
It's too bad certain naive (and not so naive) freepers swallow this stuff.
Oops, my post 72 was meant for you as well.
Thanks!

See a doctor, pissant. You obviously have a mental or neurological disorder. Or, are you merely posting again whilst liquored up?
“Alveda King is on the board of Georgia Right to Life.
This group also seem to have supported Huckabee in 2008”
Karen Handel opposes embryonic stem cell research (as does Sarah Palin). John McCain supports it. Ergo, Handel is MORE prolife than McCain. Nevertheless, in January 2008, long before McCain became the GOP nominee, Alveda King issued the following statement about McCain:
“As I look at the current presidential race and the world we are living in, I believe that Republicans need to look for a quality which our country needs most at this critical time: proven leadership. In John McCain, we know that we have a leader who has stood the test of time and can lead America with courage, integrity and strength....
John McCain shares our Christian values. He has a 24-year pro-life voting record. He has fought for judges who will end the activist bent of our federal courts, and get the judiciary back into its proper place in society of interpreting, not legislating, the laws of our land. John McCain believes in the sanctity of marriage, and led the fight in Arizona in 2006 to protect marriage as Almighty God ordained it: between a man and woman.”

So “pro- Embryonic Stem Cell Research” McCain (whose position is otherwise indistinguishable from Handel’s) is prolife, but Handel is not? Something does not add up here.
I think you may be on to something that Georgia Right to Life is a Huck subsidiary. I believe Alveda has been on Huck’s program. She is, like Huck, an ordained minister. She has been to rallies and sat with him. Does she support him?

I really question whether Christian humility should not restrain her from criticizing Sarah Palin on the prolife issue, inasmuch as the Governor has given birth to five children, including a special needs child, and has always eschewed abortion. Palin has walked the walk, not just talked the talk. No one in their right mind would question Palin’s prolife bona fides.
You could've easily, and accurately, stopped there.
I don’t think she puts much thought into her endorsement process.
She just picks the woman if there is one running.
I don't know Handel. But I do know Dr. Alveda King. And I trust and respect her.
Haven’t had enough coffee yet. Meant to post that comment on THIS thread
