Following upon our last post, Abortion Is About The Lives That Will Never Be, we will continue to focus on the one subject pro-choice advocates are careful never to mention – the child.

Advances in medical technology over the last several years have proven that a pre-born baby begins to experience not only the physical sensations of pleasure and pain far earlier than previously thought, but also the basic human emotions – happiness, contentment, sadness and fear.

This is why the abortion industry spends millions of dollars opposing state legislation requiring that women contemplating abortion be fully informed about truth of the extent of their babies’ development. The pro-choice argument quickly begins to crumble in the face of an ultra-sound picture of a smiling baby sucking her or his thumb in the warm, loving environment of mommy’s tummy.

Eye witness accounts and ultra-sound films have also conclusively depicted the fear and the pain a baby experiences when that presumably safest of all refuges is invaded by the hands and instruments of an abortionist.

What goes through a baby’s mind as he or she struggles alone and in vain during those last moment’s? The following video titled “Interview With An Unborn Child” portrays the remorseless, pitiless ramifications of “choice” from the baby’s perspective.

What are your words, pro-choice Christian brothers and sisters, for the 52 million children who were denied life under the auspices of Roe v Wade? The children who were never allowed to grow into who they would have been, who never experienced love from another person, who no one ever kissed – not even their mothers?

What consoling rationalizations have you to offer to the 3,500 babies whose “most beautiful dreams” will suddenly turn into nightmares tomorrow in America’s abortion clinics?

And what can you possibly tell God was in your heart and soul as you stood in support of abortion, or in silence, as they cried out for life and the opportunity to experience all that God had planned for them from time immemorial?

Nothing. Watch the video and listen to the plaintive words of the rejected, abandoned, unloved, about to be aborted child. Think about it. Pray about it.

Come home to God on life, that you may, in His Name, help to save millions of lives which may never be.

The 40 Days For Life Campaigns of prayer and fasting to overcome abortion have proven to be powerfully effective. The outpouring of prayers, and the plaintive “I Regret My Abortion” signs, motivate women in crisis to stop and to think. To reflect, to pray, and to reach out for help in giving their children life.

Unfortunately for Planned Parenthood, the business of abortion is a zero sum enterprise. Every women who turns from abortion contributes exactly zero to Planned Parenthood’s coffers. Even at a cut rate $350 for a first trimester abortion, the 804 babies saved during the recently completed 40 Days For Life Spring Campaign cost the abortion industry $281,400.

No wonder Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards has it in for the Catholic Church and pro-life Evangelicals. So what can Ms Richards do about these rotten Christians and their life saving drains on PP’s bottom line?

Fight fire with lies. Haul out the “pro-choice clergy” puppets to concoct a mocking counter to 40 Days For Life. Behold Planned Parenthood’s “Forty Days Of Prayer” – for abortion.

Planned Parenthood of Eureka, California initiated “40 Days of Prayer: Supporting Women Everywhere”. The ugly farce consists of 40 one or two line invocations of well worn feminist cliché’s, pro-abortion tripe and transparent euphemisms.

To profess these ditties as “prayers”, and to utilize the name of Jesus when promoting the “choice” of abortion and honoring abortionists, is nothing less than blasphemy.

The happy little group pictured above are PP Eureka’s Clergy for Choice. Ministers who have abandoned the tenets of the Bible to answer the call of a higher power – liberalism. And in following that calling, these ministers willingly allow themselves to be manipulated as marketing tools for MS Richards and the Culture Of Death.

Those smiling, accepting faces, purporting to be God’s representatives on earth, are the snares of Satan luring frightened Christian women struggling with their faith and their consciences -

See, God understands, and is just fine with, your “choice” to take your baby’s life in one of our loving, caring abortion clinics. Just come in, and we will make everything right for you

Blasphemy is actually an understatement.

The 40 Days For Life Campaigns offer women hope. Throughout each campaign, hundreds of thousands of prayers are offered for women contemplating abortion. Prayers that these women may overcome their fears and place their faith and trust in Almighty God’s love and providence. A choice no woman has ever regretted.

Planned Parenthood plays and profits upon women’s despair. Planned Parenthood’s “prayers” noticeably profess no faith or trust in God in the midst of a crisis pregnancy, only liberal rationalizations for “choosing” death for their babies and glorification of the abortionist.

And where will Planned Parenthood’s “clergy for choice” be when thousands of the women they deceptively lull into abortion find themselves overwhelmed with grief and despairing of God’s forgiveness?

Perhaps those smiling faces will be outside Planned Parenthood Eureka, pimping for Ms Richards in another 40 Days For Death Campaign and joyfully reciting Isaiah 28:15 -

“We have cut a deal with Death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made falsehood our refuge and have hidden behind treachery”.

Randall Terry, former head of the pro-life activist group Operation Rescue, is running for president as a democrat! And in doing so, candidate Terry is entitled to run a graphic anti-abortion political ad during the Super Bowl.

If anyone remembers, the Tebow family ran a pro-life ad during the 2010 Super Bowl which drew storms of protests from liberals. CBS reluctantly approved the ad which was really quite mild.

Well Randall did some research and learned that networks must accept, and run uncensored, any ads submitted by candidates for federal office during the 45 days preceding a primary election. Over the last year, Randall apparently has met whatever the necessary requirements are to run for president and raised enough money to air the following ad in 35 small markets during this year’s Super Bowl on NBC. And though these are considered small media markets, the ad will reach 35 million viewers.

The ad depicts graphic pictures of the remains of aborted babies, never to be born children who were the victims of the “choice” so many Christians support as a “right”. While the ad’s content seems overly harsh for the Super Bowl venue, and the rhetoric is not our style, there is no denying the simple truth that Christians who vote for the politicians who enable abortion in our country do aid and abet the merciless barbarities that take place every day in America’s abortion clinics.

To donate money to help Randall air the spots in more and larger markets visit Terry For President.

At least two other pro-life activists have taken up on this idea. Former registered nurse Angela Michael is running unopposed as a democrat in Illinois’ 15th Congressional district. Angela’s ad is similar to Terry’s and can be seen on her campaign website Angela Michael For Congress.

David Lewis is running as a republican against Speaker Of The House John Boehner in Ohio’s 8th district. David’s ad attacks the Speaker for his  failure to end federal funding to Planned Parenthood and can be seen at David Lewis For Congress. Frankly we disagree with David Lewis’ contention, as we detailed last April in Credit Boehner A Partial Victory vs Planned Parenthood.

Though we may disagree somewhat with the approach of these three ads, Randall Terry, Angela Michael and David Lewis have worked long and hard to be able to air the pro-life message on the truth of abortion during America’s most highly viewed television extravaganza of the year.

At least some hearts will be opened, some minds will be changed. And undoubtedly at least one person (and hopefully many more) will be watching the Super Bowl in 2032 who would have otherwise lost his or her life in an abortion mill if not for Randall, Angela and David.

And that is what the pro-life movement is all about.

Abortion – the legal killing of 52 million of American pre-born boys and girls by some of the most barbaric manners of death imaginable – is the greatest human rights issue of our time.

The following short film puts abortion in the perspective of two other seminal human rights issues, slavery and the Holocaust.

The principal unnamed character finds himself in a position of authority in the American south in the 1800s, in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s and as a modern day medical student faced with the unwanted pregnancy of his girl friend.

Though tortured by his conscience when confronted by the inhumanity of slavery and the deportation of Jewish families, the young man in those previous eras simply lacked the “Volition”, the courage and the will, to speak out and rebel against the injustices.

As the student he finds himself once again pressured by those around him to accede to something he knows to be inherently evil. It is a powerful, numbing presentation well worth the fifteen minutes of viewing time.

Though the film was released in 2008, the point is particularly pertinent to where we stand on abortion today.

As Christians we know that God has had a plan for each of us that reaches back into eternity. We were meant to live during this time. We have been given the challenge of stemming the tide of the modern age’s slaughter of the innocents.

The merciless horror of abortion could end within an election cycle if Christian America would only stand united in defense of God’s unborn children, Jesus’ “Little Ones”.

The only question is our “Volition”.

You get the message, right? God is just fine with abortion.

Ms Richard’s 5 smiling pals of the cloth are the members of Planned Parenthood’s “Clerical Advisory Board” which was created for one purpose – to deceive.

No problem for the smiling 5. Deception is the essence of pro-abortion theology which abandons the tenets of the Bible, such as “Thou Shalt Not Kill”, to answer the call of a higher power – the religion of liberalism.

The problem for pro-choice clergy is that they are generally only able to mislead those who want to be misled, i.e. other liberals who want to be told by anyone with a religious title that God really is just fine with abortion. But how much good does reassuring the already converted do for Planned Parenthood? What Ms Richards really wants from her clerics are the souls of Evangelicals, faithful Catholics and Orthodox Jews.

Rev Vincent Lachina, third from the right, set out to do just that during a recent trip to Mississippi. Rev Lachina posed as an Evangelical Southern Baptist minister when he spoke against a November ballot initiative supporting Personhood at conception. The Rev might have had a better shot at impersonating Moses as seen in the following video where he was quickly unmasked by (who else?) Lila Rose’s LiveAction.org.

Reverend Lachina, as shown in Live Action’s story, does not even attend a Southern Baptist church and is actually associated with the progressive American Baptist Conference and the United Church Of Christ. But as we said, deception is the staple of pro-choice clergy. Some times it works, some times it doesn’t. And if God is fine with abortion, what could He care about lying?

Twisting the scriptures in order to pretend the tenets of the Bible are in accordance with one’s political philosophy has been going on for 2,000 years. Everything and anything can be justified by contortionist thinking and rationalization. But justification for what goes on in America’s abortion clinics is found only in the religion of liberalism, not Christianity.

And as Christians we are all responsible for our own souls and the well being of our brothers and sisters in Christ, born and unborn. Jesus warned of clerics who seek to deceive us when He said “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees”.

And it’s easy to spot Pharisees and Sadducees these days. They’re preaching the gospel of choice and mugging for the camera with Cecile Richards.

Given to us by Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the Our Father, or Lord’s Prayer, is common to all Christianity.

The Our Father consists of a salutation and seven petitions to God our Almighty Father and Creator. The first three petitions are to the glory of God calling first for His Name to be honored as “hallowed”, second for His Kingdom to come, and third for His Will to be done here on earth as it is in heaven. In the last four petitions we ask God in return to meet our needs.

As the only prayer Jesus taught us, each sentence of the Lord’s Prayer must be of profound importance. But how many “pro-choice” Christians recite by rote the word’s “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” without ever asking themselves how the barbarous, merciless act of abortion could possibly reflect God’s holy will for His children?

The theological position taken by most pro-choice Christians is that God has endowed us with free will. Case closed. Their thinking apparently runs along the line that the gift of free will is license to do as we please irregardless of whom we may hurt or even destroy. Therefore it is of no concern to God if women exercise their free will by “choosing” to dispose of unplanned babies in an abortionist’s garbage pail.

In attempting to reconcile Christianity with liberalism and feminism, this type of twisted logic is the height of preposterous self delusion.

Yes we have been given the gift of free will. But with all sincerity and love, we encourage our pro-choice sisters and brothers to take their thinking to a level compatible with the intellect and conscience that God also endowed them with. Those are the gifts by which we are able to discern whether our will coincides with God’s.

Lying, greed, slander, hatred and adultery are all exercises of the free will given to us by God. But few Christians would claim that since these acts are not illegal, they are not contrary to God’s holy will. Intellect and conscience prevail.

Given the gifts of intellect and conscience, no Christian can honestly conclude that the daily dismemberment, decapitation and poisoning of 3,000 helpless baby boys and girls, all created in God’s image and likeness, is in accordance with His will.

When praying the Our Father we petition God that His will on earth be enacted exactly as it is carried out in heaven. No matter how one may attempt to rationalize or justify support of abortion, and support for elected officials who enable abortion, the pro-choice position is nothing less than a personal decision to assert man’s will over God’s.

Prayers lacking sincerity and commitment are meaningless. Before praying the Lord’s Prayer in vain again, pro-choice Christians need to reflect upon what actually happens during an abortion and then use their gifts of intellect and conscience to discern God’s will on earth for His unborn children. It is unlikely to involve a garbage pail.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Grant our pro-choice brothers and sisters the grace of humility to submit their will to Yours that millions of Your children may experience the precious gift of life that You have willed for them from all eternity.

Amen

With the exception of Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington DC, who would have been hard not to invite, the majority of the clergy seem to have acquired the esteemed title of “great friend” of the president through their support of abortion. No invitee opposed to abortion was asked to speak.

Easter represents Christ’s victory over death. What could be more hypocritical than a gathering of Christian “clergy” who whole heartedly support the legalized killing of our most innocent, helpless brothers and sisters in Christ?

This type of cynical manipulation is typical of Barack Obama. He has lied about his personal stance on abortion, and his intentions to use the power of the presidency to promote abortion and to suppress the voices of the pro-life community, since the day he announced his candidacy. His record speaks for itself.

The message of this Easter photo-op was directed towards pro-choice Christians who are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with their position as pro-life activists have focused America’s attention on the inhumanity of abortion and the evils and corruption fostered by the billion dollar business of abortion.

In surrounding himself with clergy who are willing to twist scripture into pretzels in order to accommodate their political ideologies, the president is telling Christian America that abortion has nothing to do with Christianity. The  national struggle to end the dismemberment, decapitation and poisoning of more than 3,000 helpless infants each day in America’s abortion clinics is just politics.

See, here’s Bishop Vashti McKenzie of the African Methodist Episcopal Church who’s presence at the prayer breakfast conveys a double message for African Americans. A black Bishop who supports abortion implies reconciliation of abortion with Christianity, and distracts from the racism of abortion – more than twice as many black babies are tossed into garbage pails each year than white children.

And here’s Pastor Joel Hunter of Northland Church in Florida, who has repeatedly asserted that pro-life advocates distort and lie about President Obama’s record on abortion. The problem here, of course, is President Obama’s record.

And how about a hand for social justice sister Carol Keehan of the Catholic Health Association who told Catholics to disregard Catholic Bishops who spoke out against the abortion promulgating healthcare reform bill? Sister Keehan was honored with a pen from the president for that one.

And there’s mega-church leader and author Bishop TD Jakes who abandoned all opposition to abortion to support Barack Obama simply because of race. And so it went, one abortion supporting cleric after another speaking piously about the meaning of Easter.

For Barack Obama, everything is politics. His prayer breakfast had nothing to do with the meaning of Easter. It was all about providing clerical cover for the president’s ruthless expansion of abortion in America and around the world. Celebrating Christ’s Resurrection is utterly incompatible with support of abortion.

This was a gathering of hypocrites and Pharisees, proper and self righteous in form, but lacking righteousness, love and compassion in their hearts for God’s helpless unborn children and the countless women who have been victimized by abortion.

An inter-denominational who’s who of Christian clergy who scandalize and mislead their flocks by asserting that Almighty God, the Giver of life, is indifferent to the merciless slaughter His children by abortion.

We know that millions of self-styled pro-choice Christians have simply been misled on the truth abortion. And today’s breakfast invite was Barack Obama’s thank you to those who have misled so many.

“Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to him by whom they come” Luke 17:1

Among the many deceptions preached from pro-abortion pulpits, such clergy claim that the Bible says nothing about conception, pregnancy, and birth. Really? Must be referencing the New Planned Parenthood Standard Edition.

As Christianity prepares to celebrate the birth of our Savior, the child Jesus, we ask our pro-choice brothers and sisters to put aside the machinations of politically motivated clergy. Read and truly reflect upon the passages describing Jesus’ arrival. There is simply no reconciling celebrating the birth of Jesus with supporting the mercilessness of abortion, which rejects God’s gift of children. Those who support Roe v Wade can no longer honestly pray “O Come Emmanuel”.

In Matthew 1:22-23 we are reminded of Isaiah’s prophecy foretelling the circumstances of the Messiah’s arrival – “Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: ‘Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel’, which being interpreted is ‘God with us’.”

And Luke relates the fulfillment of the prophecy with Jesus’ conception at the Annunciation, Mary’s nine month pregnancy and Jesus’ birth in the most humble of circumstances.

This is not just biographical filler. In the close of the Gospels, John 21:25 reminds us that “there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they were written one by one, I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written”. Anything, therefore, that made it into the Gospels must be of great importance in the eyes of God. Insight to guide us throughout time.

God foresaw this age in which feminists, self serving politicians and unjust judges would cloak the genocide of millions of His children as a “freedom”. This dark period in Christianity when the pulpits of His churches would be corrupted by false clergy attempting to mislead their flocks into believing that Almighty God is indifferent to the daily dismemberment, decapitation and poisoning of children conceived in His Image.

The Gospel relation of Mary’s pregnancy – the unplanned pregnancy of a teenage girl no less – and the birth of God’s Son were given to us as our example of God’s Will for the life of each child conceived. All are meant to be loved, nourished and protected in order to be born according to His plan.

The message of the Savior Who came to us as a helpless baby could not be clearer. Only when America once again protects and welcomes each child into the world we will again be able to say as a nation welcome to Emmanuel – “God is with us”.

Wishing all a Blessed and Merry Christmas. Radiant Cross Right To Life will resume publishing the first week of January

In Luke 1:18-8 Jesus tells a parable about an unjust judge who neither feared God or respected man. We have had such judges presiding over some of our courts. Judges who render decisions based upon their personal ideologies rather than justice or the rule of law. Lone judges who overturn state referendums nullifying the votes of millions of citizens. In 1973 seven judges of the US Supreme Court summarily denied an entire group of American citizens, Americas most helpless citizens, completely innocent children, the right to life itself.

In the parable, the judge is confounded by a widow who refuses to accept an unjust verdict. “A widow in that town kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or respect man, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice, so she doesn’t wear me out by her persistent coming.’ ”

Then Jesus gives the lesson to be learned in the parable. If even a powerful unjust man can be worn down by the persistent pleas of a powerless widow “Will not God grant justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night?”

This is Our Lord’s message to the pro-life movement. And in reflecting upon that message we can see a direct correlation between the recently completed 40 Days For Life Campaign and the pro-life victories in the November 2 elections.

During the last 37 years millions have certainly prayed for our country to overcome the injustice of abortion. If it is a simple matter of “crying out” to God, why hasn’t justice been granted to the unborn?

The evolving struggle to overcome the injustice of Roe v Wade
The first reaction to Roe v Wade was rather indifferent. Many Christian denominations acquiesced to the law assuming, as had been implied, that the extreme act of actually aborting a baby would be limited to cases of medical necessity and rape.

Abortion, however, quickly became a cause célèbre of the left, a virtual feminist status symbol and a plank in the democratic party platform. Dismembering, decapitating and poisoning babies gradually came to be considered as nothing more than an expensive form of birth control. Aborting children quickly grew into a lucrative business.

As the nation began to recognize abortion as a pervasive evil, the first reaction was political activism aimed at overturning Roe v Wade. Groups like the National Right To Life Committee began focusing attention on the barbarity of abortion, working to place limitations on Roe, and electing pro-life candidates to Congress.

Christian denominations then began to organize faith based pro-life groups. Priests For Life was founded in 1991, followed by Lutherans For Life, Anglicans For Life and others. Though prayer has always been an element of the faith based efforts, much of the focus still centered on the politics of abortion.

Through the tireless efforts of all, significant successes have been achieved and thousands of people are alive today who would have otherwise been lost to the abortion mills.

The 40 Days For Life Campaigns, however, focus exclusively on a three point prayer based program in their efforts to overcome the injustice of abortion. Personal prayer, fasting (a variation of prayer) and constant prayer vigils conducted outside abortion clinics. These prayer based campaigns enable millions of Christians to take a more active role in combating abortion.

While not everyone can participate in pro-life marches, freedom rides and prayer vigils before clinics, every Christian can personally commit to prayer and some type of fasting. Each campaign, therefore, literally consists of millions of God’s elect crying out to Him day and night for justice for the unborn.

It is no coincidence that each fall campaign ends just prior to the first Tuesday in November. And it is our belief that the tremendous exponential increase in prayers to end abortion brought to God through the 40 Days For Life Campaigns were a significant factor in the success of pro-life candidates in last week’s elections.

Political activism remains essential in the struggle. But the evil injustice of abortion we seek to overcome is demonic in nature. Evil of such depth, Jesus tells us, “does not come out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21).

The unjust judges we face are deeply entrenched in all three branches of our government. And in the Parable Of The Unjust Judge, Jesus has shown us the way to “wear them out”, or more likely replace them. Jesus assures us that if the Christian elect of America persevere in crying out to Almighty God day and night throughout the year, as we do during the 40 Days For Life Campaigns, justice will ultimately be granted to our helpless unborn brothers and sisters.

If each of us makes that commitment in our daily lives, we will surely see the day when America once again, as Father Frank Pavone of Priests For Life says, becomes “a land of liberty and justice, not just for some, but for all”.

No one here likes to have to agree with Rachel Maddow, especially when the subject is abortion.

Maddow has been Abortion Incorporated’s media moll throughout the 2010 elections, demonizing pro-life candidates and harping non-stop about a republican controlled government that would “monitor every pregnancy in the nation” and force rape victims to bear children.

Ms Maddow even produced her own OMSNBC special titled the “Assassination Of Dr Tiller”. In To Pray For Tiller, Not To Praise Him we denounced Dr George Tiller’s murder as a heinous act that was an affront to God and pro-life principles. We joined other Christian pro-life advocacy groups in praying for Dr Tiller’s soul and his grieving family.

Maddow’s special slant on Tiller’s murder, however, parroted by all participants in the documentary, was that Scott Roeder would have never fired upon Tiller if not driven to the act by anti-abortion extremists. And Maddow’s persistent implications are that “anti-abortion extremist” includes every person who prays in front of an abortion clinic or offers women approaching a clinic information on alternatives to abortion.

But Rachel Maddow has unfortunately been able to make one legitimate point. The danger and impropriety of “Abortionist Wanted” posters that began showing up in North Carolina this year. Not the point that “bright and perky” Maddow thought she was so cleverly making – that pro-life demonstrators should be barred from public property anywhere within the vicinity of an abortion clinic.

No, the fundamental problem with “Abortionist Wanted” posters is that such activity contradicts the very spirit and goals of the pro-life movement.

The sanctity of life is the spirit of our cause and our goal is not just to save the unborn babies threatened by abortion. We also seek, and pray for, the ultimate salvation of everyone who has participated in the evil of abortion.

We are called by God to hate the sin but love the sinner. It is therefore fundamentally wrong in the eyes of God to expose an abortion doctor, let alone a doctor’s staff and family, to even the slightest possibility of physical harm inflicted by a mentally ill person such as Scott Roeder.

Such posters were distributed in our area last year asking residents “to pray for” an abortionist living (surprisingly to us) in our neighborhood. The posters listed the doctor’s home and business addresses. The only visible result of this effort, however, was a heavy police presence in our usually very quiet sub-division over the next few weeks. And in the aftermath of the Tiller murder, this doctor’s family no doubt lived in fear for months.

Despicable was the word that came to mind.

The real purpose of the posters, of course, had nothing to do with saving the man’s soul. Nor do the posters in NC, despite the flimsy claims of their author, Rev Phillip “Flip” Benham of Operation Save America, who was recently convicted of a misdemeanor involving the posters. Such posters are meant to “out” doctors as abortionists with the hope that the exposure and embarrassment will cause them to cease and desist.

Trained abortionist interventionists, such as Father Frank Pavone of Priests For Life, do personally contact abortion doctors, working in a firm, but loving way to help them leave the abortion business. But this is not something for the average pro-life advocate.

God has allocated our places in the struggle to overcome Roe v Wade in lawful demonstrations, peaceful prayer vigils and the offering of private prayer. Not subjecting abortion doctors and their families to public ridicule and possible physical harm.

We implore those involved in disseminating “wanted posters” or similar materials to examine their consciences and their motives. This type of activity is not only illegal, but is also counter productive to our mission of ending abortion in America.

With each publicized incident, the abortion lobby intensifies their efforts for further federal, state and local restrictions on pro-life vigils and counseling efforts conducted near abortion clinics.

You’re not helping the unborn. You’re just giving Rachel Maddow something to smile about.
