   This has brought me so much joy to see that regardless of the massive effort toward indoctrination of the most recent generations the truth is made evident through our younger generation. The enemies of Christ and His message of love and life will not prevail. Though some have been martyred (the aborted) because of ignorance or evil, their blood has not been shed in vain. God have mercy on us all.

   it has become an annual ritual to watch the national media and liberal commentariat strain to ignore or marginalize the burgeoning movement…

   So when will they begin taking the movement seriously? After 39 years strikes me as more than a fad or pet cause. I’m sure Rand’s being detained was purely coincidental. What scum.

   i don’t think the tsa is smart enough to actually detain him because of recognising him. but, they are dumb enough to not know the law. it states no senator or representative may be detained in their travels to or from official business. it is not like it is some obscure law, it is only clearly stated in a small document, called the constitution of the united states of america, perhaps they might read it?

    Our local crisis pregnancy center used to hold a Walk for Life every year. Then one year they did a baby-bottle campaign instead: Take empty baby bottles to churches and pass them out. The people fill them up with change and bring them back. The CPC nearly doubled the amount of money they raised with the baby bottles over what they did with the Walk for Life. They’ve gone with the bottles as a fund-raiser ever since. I have a bottle on my desk at home, and it’s slowly gathering change…

    An investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), into the Obama Administration’s use of $18 million in taxpayer funds to provide funding for a group pushing legalized abortion in Kenya finds the administration broke the law.

    The investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress, shows at least one Obama grantee openly pushed to expand abortion in Kenya despite a long-standing, annually renewed law that prohibits U.S. tax dollars from being used to lobby for or against abortion in other countries (known as the Siljander Amendment).

    Over reach redefined! Across int’l borders and into mothers wombs. With U.S taxpayer’s dollars no less.

    Unborn children are not choices, they are unique human beings separated from us by only time and nutrition. Give Barack Obama and militant feminists the same handicaps given to pre-born children and they would not be very “viable” ouside the womb either. Although consider that they believe even full term healthy babies are subject to summary execution at the pleasure of the administrative authority at hand. Not only is the Constitution irrelevant, but apparently the justifications behind explict court decisions as well. “We do what we wanna do, say what we wanna say!”

    And stop with the extreme case studies of “preganancoes too awful to contemplate”. The essential fact here is that secular humanists and globalists want abortion on demand as the foundation of birth and population control. The original Roe SCOTUS arguments were specious and deliberately deceitful. They had no intention of limiting the murders to the first trimester. They wanted carte blanche to terminate at an time for any reason. See Dr. Bernard Nathanson’s condemnations of NARAL and the other abortion activist organizations and their campaign to mislead SCOTUS and the public. Evil liars and criminals.

    A TSA spokesman disputed that Paul was ever “detained.” But he was not granted access to the secure area of the airport.

    The TSA version of events is that Paul was not detained, but triggered an alarm during routine airport screening and refused to complete the screening process (pat-down) in order to resolve the issue. Paul was escorted out of the screening area by local law enforcement.

    Other than that, he was not ‘detained’ per se. TSA also dutifully neglected to mention he was enroute to the 39th Annual March for Life as keynote speaker… Nor that the ‘trigger’ was, uh, his being Rand Paul?

    A ‘Modest Proposal’, similar to what ThunderHawkk has said. How about a combination of the two. Swift’s ‘Modest Proposal’ along with the say 5 month old baby. You can decide you don’t want the baby, so kill and eat it.
    Of course Swift’s proposal was absurd,and so is abortion.
    “Now doesn’t your conscience kinda bother you…now tell me true”, pro-abortionist? I know the answer, it doesn’t.

    When Cynthia McKinney used her congressional privilege to avoid a metal detector and was “detained”, she punched the security guard. But she’s not a complainer. The McKinney precedent allows for a member of congress to punch any security and continue, so long as they offer a half a$$ed apology later.

    It seems Obama is ignorant of the effects of abortion on a woman or is oblivious to that truth becomes his political ideology and party insist on denial of that. Wonder if his mind would be changed if, God forbid, one or both of his daughters had an abortion at an age where they were sexually active and experienced the negative and destructive after-effects of that decision? Not wishing it on them, just pose it has a question.

    Last time I went through the security check, THREE, count ‘em, THREE women in muslim get-ups (Americanized burkas of a sort) had their shoes looked at, but, they did NOT go through the scanner and they did NOT get patted down. I watched them the whole time. I overheard some TSA guy say that they (meaning the TSA Agents) were being watched by supervisors to ensure they were being “sensitive” to muslims.

    My twin and I were born when abortion wasn’t talked about too publicly. We were preemies who weighed in a little more than 6 pounds together–the nurses took our picture! We both went to incubators…my folks thought abortion was the worst thing a woman could do, preemie or not. I stand 5’10″ today and a little on the skinny side, but I’m not afraid to fight…and neither is my twin. A pox on abortion supporters!

    Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation – Ronald Reagan, 1983

    Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court’s result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right. The decision by the seven-man majority in Roe v. Wade has so far been made to stick. But the Court’s decision has by no means settled the debate. Instead, Roe v. Wade has become a continuing prod to the conscience of the nation.

    We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life — the unborn — without diminishing the value of all human life. If you don’t know whether a body is alive or dead, you would never bury it. I think this consideration itself should be enough for all of us to insist on protecting the unborn. The real question today is not when human life begins, but, what is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother’s body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. Regrettably, we live at a time when some persons do not value all human life. They want to pick and choose which individuals have value.

    As a nation, we must choose between the sanctity of life ethic and the “quality of life” ethic. I have no trouble identifying the answer our nation has always given to this basic question, and the answer that I hope and pray it will give in the future. As a nation today, we have not rejected the sanctity of human life. The American people have not had an opportunity to express their view on the sanctity of human life in the unborn. I am convinced that Americans do not want to play God with the value of human life. It is not for us to decide who is worthy to live and who is not. Even the Supreme Court’s opinion in Roe v. Wade did not explicitly reject the traditional American idea of intrinsic worth and value in all human life; it simply dodged this issue.

    We must all educate ourselves to the reality of the horrors taking place. Doctors today know that unborn children can feel a touch within the womb and that they respond to pain. Late-term abortions, especially when the baby survives, but is then killed by starvation, neglect, or suffocation, show once again the link between abortion and infanticide. The time to stop both is now. It is possible that the Supreme Court itself may overturn its abortion rulings. We need only recall that in Brown v. Board of Education the court reversed its own earlier “separate-but-equal” decision. As we continue to work to overturn Roe v. Wade, we must also continue to lay the groundwork for a society in which abortion is not the accepted answer to unwanted pregnancy. Pro-life people have already taken heroic steps, often at great personal sacrifice, to provide for unwed mothers. We will never recognize the true value of our own lives until we affirm the value in the life of others. We cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide.

    My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning.

    This is what I’m talking about when I’m looking for candidates with character, integrity, faith and guts. I’m not in the “Saint Ronald” camp, longing for some kind of reincarnation of Reagan. Just someone with the wisdom, character and guts to say what needs to be said and do what’s right – regardless of the polls. Not seeing anything like this on my radar. Sigh.

    A family close to ours in Washington State had a 16 oz baby boy in 1942 that was sent home from the hospital “to die”. They put him in a shoe box and bread warmer over the wood stove. He grew up to be a lineman on the local football team. Piss on the experts.
