Election year tool for pro-lifers
Contributed by jim2002 on Tuesday, August 06 @ 18:24:48 EDT
Pro-lifers should consider a practical new tool that they can use to kill two birds with one stone. In this election year will help to: (A) expose candidates who are do-nothing, lip-service only pro-lifers and (B) raise awareness of an issue that the pro-aborts don't want to have discussed in public -- and certainly not in a political contest where the media and the public would have to deal with this issue.
This practical tool for pro-lifers is a question -- one that can be raised by pro-lifers in every candidate forum, in town hall meetings, in letters-to-the-editor and in press releases. It would be something along these lines: "Mr. (Ms.) Candidate, In order to break the cycle of ongoing child sexual abuse, we need to prosecute sexual predators and those who cover-up their crimes. Given the recent evidence of their willingness to cover-up the crimes of child sexual predators, will you work to end all government funding of Planned Parenthood and will you call for the arrest of clinic workers, clinic owners or other family planning service providers who fail to comply with our state's mandatory reporting law?"
(The evidence cited is available at www.ChildPredators.com )
Candidates who are truly pro-life can raise an issue that works in their favor and declare their willingness to commit to practical, civic minded action (which advances the pro-life agenda), while their opposition is left in the position of having to stand with or support funding for a group that helps pedophiles evade detection by law enforcement.
This works in all 50 states, because all every state has a mandatory reporting law and the recent Life Dynamics undercover investigation (cited above) proved that Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers fail to comply with these laws over 90% of the time -- across all 50 states. Something like this can be used in any race, but especially when abortion is a hot issue (for example, see http://www.detnews.com/2002/politics/0208/04/a10-553335.htm ).
I did a title search for "Pro-lifers" before posting this, and I didn't get the hit for the other post. Odd.

Thanks, Chief Archivist LtGOP. As much time as I spend here (dammit), you'd think I'd already know that....
