Greyhounds over unborn children

Greyhounds over unborn children

Well, it's been about a year since the good people of Massachusetts spoke through the polls. Pot is no longer criminal. Racing greyhounds is. Progress in Iraq is ignored, while the race of a black man in Kenya who fathered a son he never knew is celebrated.

Four thousand babies every day are slaughtered through abortion, but the lives of 4,000 heroes who honorably gave their lives for their country have been politicized and used by a party that treats conservatives as "those damned adults."

Conservatives aren't sexy. We worry about all those boring adult issues: paying the bills, living responsibly, doing things because they are right or wrong, even if no one is looking or they are difficult. For each person, different issues raise passion at the polls. For me, it is abortion. Like slavery, the legal slaughter of defenseless babies is the most insidious evil of its day. Ironically, like Lincoln's Republicans who believed in the rights of black people, we who try to protect the most defenseless members of our society are seen as a bit eccentric. A bit fired up over nothing.

The attitude that 'slaves are people' was seen as silly and inconsequential a mere hundred and forty-three years ago, to at least half of our country. This same attitude exists toward America's tiniest citizens for the same reasons: They can't vote. They don't pay taxes. And they are at the root of an extremely lucrative business. Whenever a true evil is tolerated or even embraced
by a society that likes to pride itself on being ethical, follow the money trail. Abortion is an industry worth billions of dollars.
Planned Parenthood has more access to America's children than their parents, in the eyes of the law. Check it out. Ask your pediatrician about where parents' rights end and Planned Parenthood's begin. A school nurse cannot legally give an aspirin to a child, without written permission from a parent. But that same nurse can legally transport, then aid and abet in a procedure as radical as surgery -- without parental notification or consent -- if it has to do with your 12-year- old's 'reproductive rights'. I am not kidding. Despite the fact that it is illegal for a person of age to engage in sexual activity with a child, if an adult brings a child into Planned Parenthood for birth control or an abortion, no questions are required to be answered. Instead of calling in Child Protective Services, Planned Parenthood is offering free (paid for with our taxes) 'services' to the children involved, with the promise that mom and dad will never find out. They have hated President Bush's noble appointments to the Supreme Court, because they tipped the balance against partial-birth abortions.

Though a ban on this grisly procedure passed through Congress multiple times under Clinton, he vetoed it each time. Then when it passed under Bush, the Supreme Court initially overruled it. While we were giving even the most heinous child killers a humane death under capital punishment, the cruel and violent death of innocent babies was deemed acceptable by our previously liberal Supreme Court. Partial-birth abortion is exactly what it sounds like. Nurses testified in congressional hearings that they had come to the conclusion that this procedure was murder, when they were forced to actually hold full-term babies' heads while they were stabbed in the base of their tiny necks, before their skulls were crushed with tongs. Had that baby moved 3 inches farther down the birth canal, it would have been called 'murder.'

But it took a conservative president to sign a ban on this type of murder into law. The liberals are still screaming about this. They'll protect a greyhound, but to hell with a baby whose harvestable parts make him worth more dead than alive. Its the twilight zone.

Now we have Obama, the most liberal candidate for president ever, about to take the helm. The first choice of Planned Parenthood, his politics send chills up the spine of anyone who cares about the safety of the youngest Americans. At least he is likeable. He seems like anyone's affable brother-in-law, one with whom you would not mind being seated at a wedding. But his politics scare me. I watched the exit polls in Chicago where three black women proudly said that for them this election WAS about race. They were voting for Obama because he was black. Hmmm. Now, my maiden name begins with the old country Mc, just like John McCain's, but if I were to say on national TV that I had voted for John McCain because he was white, or even Irish-American, the media would lynch me. Rightfully so.

I cannot believe that the color of ours skin would have any bearing on anything. I loved Alan Keyes, who was a whole lot 'blacker' than Obama. Or give me J.C. Watts- please! But they were just too conservative for the puppeteers holding the strings to new African-American voters. When I ask liberal friends what issues mattered most to them, I usually get the same answer: Change. Well, folks, change is coming all right. I just pray that its what everyone had in mind. Greyhounds are no longer allowed to run, but I sure wish the babies could.
