Pro-life news brief 8-15-12

- At least one local North Carolina media outlet has picked up on the YouTube video of abortionist Ashutosh Virmani telling members of Operation Save America that they should “adopt one of those ugly black babies.”
- Politico covers the unwillingness of abortion advocates to challenge the majority of fetal pain/late term abortion bans:
Similar fetal pain laws are on the books in seven other states, and a ninth law, in Georgia, takes effect Jan. 1. But unlike the numerous legal challenges to state laws on “partial-birth abortion”, there hasn’t been a massive national mobilization to challenge the fetal-pain laws, which clash head on with Roe v. Wade, the law of the land since 1973….Asked if the abortion-rights community would be nervous about the outcome of the case if it were to travel to the Supreme Court, Donna Crane, policy director for NARAL Pro-Choice America, chose her words carefully: “There’s no question that this Supreme Court as remade by George Bush is very hostile to reproductive rights.”
- CBS notes President Obama’s continued push to make abortion an election issue and his campaign’s apparent belief that all women favor legal abortion:
The Obama campaign has seized on that particular issue. Over the weekend, President Obama sent out a set of messages via Twitter, writing, “Make sure the women in your life know: Paul Ryan supports banning all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest.” The Romney campaign says that Ryan does believe some exceptions can be made by families and their doctor when the life of the mother is at risk.

Was this tragedy linked to abortion?

One of the banners headlining this entry reads: Why is pro life losing a winnable war? I submit that we are winning and that we will prevail ultimately. The only question is will we win before the damage is so great that it will take hundreds of years to repair our society spiritually, culturally, and economically?
Jerry: “The only question is will we win before the damage is so great that it will take hundreds of years to repair our society spiritually, culturally, and economically?”
I would argue that, as it is now, healing our society will already take a very long time and will never be complete.
Not a single one of those children killed in abortion can ever be replaced.
Not one of those mothers who died, at the hands of either a careless (or simply callous) “doctor” or an irate boyfriend, can ever be replaced.
Not one grandparent or disabled individual, euthanized for lack of worth in the eyes of self-centered elites, can ever be replaced.
My mother’s parents were in Holland during the Second World War. My oma’s uncle was executed in the street right in front of her, and my opa spent years in a Nazi concentration camp. He watched many friends die, and to this day does not talk about what happened there.
For them, it never really ended.
Likewise, Canada comes to a nearly complete stop at 11:00 a.m. every November 11th in honour of those who have given their lives to protect ours (I’m not sure what the U.S. equivalent is). We do this partly because the sacrifices are still being made, but also to remind ourselves that we live in a damaged world that demands vigilance.
I have every reason to believe that this will be the case with the culture of death; whether it is made illegal tomorrow or a decade from now, the damage is already done and deep for too many people, and even after they have all passed on and (hopefully) gone to their eternal rest, we as a society must always remember what happened.
Or, to put it more metaphorically, we must force ourselves to look at this terrible scar and remember the wound that caused it.
Once again an abortionist (Dr. Vermin-ani) has a shady past. He also sounds like he’s a bit screwy. And how ironic that he complains of being discriminated against because of his Asian heritage. when he’s a racist SOB. There’s a picture of him holding one of the “beautiful” babies he delivered, who of course, is white.
I would like to deliver a copy of that hateful videotape to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Obamas, and every member of the Congressional Black Caucus, but they would probably just ignore it.
