I have a hard time explaining, even to myself, the near constant angst I feel due to abortion.

I try to remember what a normal life was like, before I was gripped by the mass slaughter of little babies. I try to imagine living a normal life again.

But these days I think normal people living normal lives are weird. These days I think I’m the normal one and they’re not.

If I go on vacation long enough, I begin to remember what normal was like. But I can’t stay there. Abortion has changed me.

I don’t dwell on any of this too much. Clearly it’s complicated. But I read something profound today on this very topic, an affirmation. It was in my friend Monica Miller’s upcoming book, Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Abortion Wars. Monica gave me permission to share this excerpt with you, my pro-life friends who can identify with what I’ve been talking about. I hope it helps you. It helped me:

• Overheard: Abortion Gang member Not Guilty holds to the “I want to silence all the male voices in the abortion discussion” position:

  And so, I want to silence the voices of all men. I am so tired of men giving their opinion about abortion. I am so tired of it that I am willing to sacrifice the voices of all the men who support women.

  I truly believe that if men were no longer allowed to speak on the topic of abortion, every country would be pro-choice. Anti-choice women get abortions too. Abortion crosses every religious, cultural, and political line. The only line it can’t cross is biological sex, and that is where the problem lies.

UPDATE 2/14, 9:10p: Add Diana DeGette, co-chair of House Pro-Choice Caucus, to the list of “accommodation” supporters.

UPDATE 2/13, 9:40a: I’ve been keeping track of the pro-abortion groups that have endorsed President Obama’s life-ending drug mandate “accommodation” and wanted to make sure you were up to speed. If we had nothing else, this would be all the evidence needed to know the “accommodation” is nothing but bad. I added another today (click to enlarge)…

She also [performs] her latest hit Miracle, which she says is not delivering an anti-abortion or a pro-life message.

“I didn’t sing it with that in mind,” she explains. “I think about the air we breathe, the earth we live on. I think about our children. I think about a lot of things, things God put here for us to have, things that we need and we take for granted. I think all of these things are miracles and I think we should try to take better care of them,” she notes.

~ now-deceased singer Whitney Houston in an interview featured in the June 24, 1991 issue of Jet Magazine.

According to Wikipedia:

The song is about a girl who had an abortion but later feels she made a mistake. In an interview at that time, Houston acknowledged the song was indeed about abortion and praised Babyface for digging so deep with the song’s lyrical content. Not wanting to alienate any fans, however, the video for the song doesn’t stick with the subject, instead showing Houston singing and various photographs injected periodically.

Below are partial lyrics for the song:

Chorus:
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There’s a miracle in store…
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don’t throw love away
There’s a miracle in store…

How could I let go of a miracle?
Nothing could ever take its place
Thought I was looking, out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that I have gained

Conservative political cartoonists got into gear this week, showing Planned Parenthood in its dual hit man role as a child killer and as a gangster that made Komen an offer it couldn’t refuse.

Gary McCoy drew three hard-hitting cartoons, getting so much attention for the first one that MSNBC felt pressured to discuss it. McCoy explained his thinking behind them to Daryl Cagle….
