Endowed by their Creator

You've got to hand it to William Wilberforce. So entrenched in British society was slavery that it seemed to many the Englishman was on a fool's errand. One man screaming into the void.

But Somebody heard that scream, and while Wilberforce ailed upon his deathbed, Parliament abolished slavery.

Due to a pitiful judicial decision in 1973, abortion entwined itself within America's heart. While the left dances to the tune of personal freedom, it continues to deny personal freedom to the most innocent of America's citizens, the unborn child.

In this election, one candidate, Barack Obama, has vowed to enact a federal statute called the Freedom of Choice Act which will make any abortion restrictions illegal, all by executive fiat. Doctors could not legally refuse to perform an abortion. My tax dollars will go to supporting the wholesale slaughter of American children.

And it gets worse. Please take a moment to read this essay, Obama's Abortion Extremism, by Dr. Robert P. George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University.

As it is, our nation will be judged by Almighty God. He has shown us great and unmerited patience, but that patience will not last forever. His justice will no doubt be swift. Pray that the fight for life will not suffer another gigantic setback in November.

What kind of America do we want our beloved nation to be? Barack Obama's America is one in which being human just isn't enough to warrant care and protection. It is an America where the unborn may legitimately be killed without legal restriction, even by the grisly practice of partial-birth abortion. It is an America where a baby who survives abortion is not even entitled to comfort care as she dies on a stainless steel table or in a soiled linen bin. It is a nation in which some members of the human family are regarded as inferior and others superior in fundamental dignity and rights. In Obama's America, public policy would make a mockery of the great constitutional principle of the equal protection of the law. In perhaps the most telling comment made by any candidate in either party in this election year, Senator Obama, when asked by Rick Warren when a baby gets human rights, replied: ''that question is above my pay grade.'' It was a profoundly disingenuous answer: For even at a state senator's pay grade, Obama presumed to answer that question with blind certainty. His unspoken answer then, as now, is chilling: human beings have no rights until infancy - and if they are unwanted survivors of attempted abortions, not even then.
