It will be a long, dark four years for the Culture of Life – Obama seems determined to promote abortion and the larger culture of death relentlessly. But there still remains the light of Truth, and those who adhere to it:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, speaking at anti-abortion group’s dinner, criticized President Barack Obama for supporting abortion rights and challenged the idea that unplanned pregnancies are a nuisance that can be solved by abortion.
Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, spoke to an overflow crowd organizers said numbered 3,000 at the Vanderburgh County Right to Life banquet Thursday night.
Some in the crowd wore white “Palin 2012” T-shirts. Earlier, GOP National Chairman Michael Steele described her as one of the party’s standard bearers, though he said it was too early to judge what her standing would be in three years.
Palin said the challenges she faced during her pregnancy with her son Trig, who was born with Down syndrome, gave her an opportunity to live out her anti-abortion beliefs. She said she prayed often during her pregnancy, especially after tests revealed that her son would be born with the condition.
“The moment he was born, I knew that moment my prayers had been answered,” Palin said. “Trig is a miracle. He is the best thing that ever happened to me and I want other women to have that opportunity.”
She challenged the notion that children must be born perfect and that unplanned pregnancies are inconvenient and can be ended by abortion. “I know for sure my son is perfect just as he is, made in the image of God,” she said.
She asked the crowd to keep working for the “culture of life” in America.
“Life is ordained, life is precious,” she said.
No matter how the supporters of abortion try to twist it, the plain facts are that abortion is both the enemy of hope, and a final solution to a temporary condition. There is not nor can there ever be a justification for an elective abortion – to seek the death of an unborn innocent is monstrous in itself, but even in purely practical terms it is a complete waste.
The loss to humanity is incalcuable each time an abortion is performed – we’ll never know the great gifts the aborted, in God’s wisdom, would have showered upon us. And not just the Einsteins we lost, but even just that kind person who would have given us a helping hand. Imagine if we randomly shot 10,000 people a week – think about what we’d lose…the doctors, teachers, ministers, mothers, fathers, friends…all cruelly ripped away from us for no reason at all. That is what abortion does.
