When I read about this, of course I thought of the graphic images pro-life activists use to show the reality of abortion. Consider our rationale to Time magazine's rationale for posting its cover photo this week:

Our cover image this week is powerful, shocking and disturbing. It is a portrait of Aisha, a shy 18-year-old Afghan woman who was sentenced by a Taliban commander to have her nose and ears cut off for fleeing her abusive in-laws. Aisha posed for the picture and says she wants the world to see the effect a Taliban resurgence would have on the women of Afghanistan...

There's a good Politico piece this morning entitled, "Abortion groups caught off guard." For starters I was happy Politico omitted "rights" after "Abortion," a word that gives pro-aborts a psychological edge.

Multiple topics were covered in the article, so I'm going to write 2 or 3 separate posts. The following excerpts focus on the deflated pro-abort movement:

Anti-abortion groups leapt into action last month when the National Right to Life Committee warned that elective abortions would be covered under a PA insurance program created by the health care reform law....

So what is the pro-life answer to the question, "Why don't you people put up or shut up - pay for the care of pregnant mothers in crisis and adopt the unwanted or "defective" babies?"

by Susie Allen, host of the blog, Pro-Life in TN

As Jivin J indicated in his post today, FactCheck.org yesterday agreed with the National Right to Life Committee that PA's federally funded high risk insurance pool would have covered all abortions except "those 'sought solely because of the sex of the unborn child'" had not NRLC sounded the alarm.

NRLC and other pro-life groups maintain this loophole is one of many yet to be discovered in the new 2k page healthcare law, despite Obama and pro-life Democrats' assurances that the combination of the Nelson Amendment and Obama's executive order ban federally funded abortions from Obamacare unless for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

On July 17 Charles Krauthammer, a pro-abort I might add, said on Fox the PA controversy was evidence "Stupak was taken. He couldn't stand the heat on this...."

But on July 18 Democrats for Life of America issued a fundraising appeal, making harsh accusations against NRLC in the process. Click to enlarge...

We can see what caused abortion opponents to be concerned. An official solicitation issued by the PA Insurance Department specified that abortions "will" be covered if they are legal under PA law. And according to news reports, a similar document in NM listed "elective" abortions under "covered services.",,,

He controlled the forum's membership and limited it to "several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics." Posts within JournoList were intended only be made and read by its members....

I mentioned this verse a couple weeks ago in the Sunday quote, but in case you missed it:

I love that Scripture, 1st because it demonstrates the timelessness of the Bible. David was thinking of physical hand-to-hand combat when he wrote that verse, at a time when, of course, there was no concept of typing and the Internet and blogging. Yet it applies to what we online pro-life fighters do today.

The verse is also a reminder that we're gifted and impassioned by God to do what we do. And it is also a comfort that we will be the ultimate victors.

But on a day-to-day basis I sometimes don't feel like a victor. The pro-life battle appears so uphill, with money, political power, and MSM all against us....

Obama sycophant SodaHead's July 15 blog post headline blared, "Latest Right-Wing Lie Blows Up In Their Faces: NO FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ELECTIVE ABORTION."

SodaHead was attempting to beat back conservatives who were in an uproar over National Right to Life's finding that federal funding for PA's health insurance high-risk pool includes abortion coverage....

Likewise, another of Obama's online guardians, Media Matters, quickly hurled a 1,700-word tome into the blogosphere with such cocky subtitles as (emphasis mine), "[Glenn] Beck repeats discredited claim that Obama admin has OK'd federal funding for elective abortions"....

The only problem is the abortion industry agrees with (all) pro-lifers (other than Democrats) that Obama's executive order didn't apply to high-risk pools and were furious when in the wake of NRLC's discovery a busted White House quickly directed DHHS to write rules ensuring that federal funds indeed would not go toward abortion in state high-risk pools....

We begin with one on our issue by Michael Ramirez at Townhall.com, satirizing President Obama's recess appointment of Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

We're all used to pro-aborts avoiding the A-word by using the code word "choice."

But here's a new one.

EMILY's List, "a community of progressive Americans dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women to every level of office," according to its website, has begun running an ad against pro-lifer Cory Gardner, who is running for Congress in CO-4 - and it totally avoids the topic of abortion altogether.

In fact, you would think the ad is pro-family if you weren't cynical enough to know its attack points are total spin...

This is the most disingenuous political ad possible. A group whose sole focus is clearing the way to abort children is feigning concern about education funding, children with autism, and deadbeat dads?

Why do you think EMILY's List is hiding its true agenda?

I've been writing today (here and here) about the controversy surrounding the discovery that MD, NM, and PA had planned to use federal funds received for their Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plans via Obamacare for abortions until National Right to Life exposed them.

UPDATE, 9:30p: The strategy of the White House from the beginning has been to portend Elena Kagan's confirmation to the US Supreme Court as a done deal, and perhaps it was - until her slimy Senate Judiciary Committee testimony about the part she played re: the partial birth abortion ban.

Yesterday in DC the chatter was that Kagan's confirmation to the US Supreme Court can still be stopped. She may have committed perjury.

830 fewer abortions were seen as a reflection on the recent Gallup polling in the United States showing that for the first time since '95, more Americans considered themselves pro-life than pro-choice.

Sarah Palin PAC's 1st political ad, entitled "Mama Grizzlies," speaks directly to mothers, wooing their maternal instinct, a nature and focus group pro-abort feminists understandably find impossible to attract.

Furthermore, the ad has strong pro-life undertones, Palin's overdubbed verbiage having been lifted from a speech she gave at the Susan B. Anthony List's Celebration of Life event in May.

Palin is singlehandedly forcing the pro-life issue to the forefront of the 2010 election season. I've heard the Republican establishment is wavering on whether to spotlight the marked differences between the 2 parties and various candidates on abortion. More on that later. Even if it doesn't, Palin will.
