Boxer's Final Gambit: Culture of Death, Save Me!

American Papist notes that Boxer is bringing out the big guns of the Culture of Death, hoping that there is one more victory to be wrung out of the corpses of children:

Boxer is relying on the abortion industry’s money to help finance her final campaign expenditures, as Kathryn Lopez at National Review reports:

Barbara Boxer, fighting for her Senate seat, is making the closing argument about abortion. During an event which could easily become poster fodder, Senator Boxer flanked herself with Hollywood — Amy Brenneman and David Eigenberg (Steve from Sex and the City), among others — and the abortion political establishment. At the event, Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, described Boxer as “the brightest star in the galaxy of pro-choice leaders in our country.”

My prayer for the election has been that on November 2nd those who defend life, justice and mercy triumph – no mention of party or platforms, just that plea that we get leaders worthy of a great and good nation. Barbara Boxer is antithesis of all that – a stalwart for the unjust, merciless taking of innocent human life.

I do believe her days in politics are numbered: polling has shown Boxer pretty consistently ahead, but has also shown her just as consistently below 50%. For an incumbent, that is usually the kiss of political death. People know her; she’s been around for ages…people who are undecided at this late stage don’t tend to break heavily for the incumbent. Boxer knows this – and this thus hoping an appeal to Death will motivate the liberal base in Los Angeles and San Francisco to save her bacon. My bet is that on election day, Boxer will come up short as a surge of GOPers outlasts whatever dregs of liberalism Boxer can still get to the polls.

But, nothing is certain – if you live in California, be sure to vote; volunteer, if you can. In California or out, pray – pray that the cause of life will gain an ally and lose an enemy on November 2nd.
