Life in all of its glory from conception to natural death:
Republican vice-presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin’s Friday speech describing her commitment to policies which assist children with special needs was praised by the president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List as an offer of “compassion and concrete help” to those in need.
Palin’s remarks came in her first policy speech on the issue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She advocated school choice opportunities for special needs children, fully funding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and lowering taxes on special needs trusts which families establish to fund long-term care for their children.
“Very rarely does an issue in the public forum speak to the heart so poignantly as protecting children with special needs. Governor Sarah Palin offers compassion and concrete help to those of us hungry for information, support and solutions,” said Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser in a Friday press release.
“Why does Sarah have such a beautiful perspective? Because she sees the value, necessity, and joy inherent in every human life,” she continued.
No one is ever promised an easy time, but life is always beautiful and it is always not just the right choice, but the only rational choice. To see an unborn life and consider killing it an acceptable (let alone good) option is to be soaked in our modern Age of Lies – to be emotionally crippled by despair.
We have no more urgent task and no more noble calling than to restore the respect for life to the center of our civilization’s existence – it was what we were built on, in firm rejection of the Greco-Roman world’s cruelty and inhumanity, it was Christian civilization which asserted that each life is important and must be respected. We have to get back to that – and only by getting back to that can we really cure all our social ills because if there is no right to life, there really is no right to anything; and if killing unborn children isn’t wrong, then nothing is wrong.
