True Lives
An abortion survivor takes on Barack Obama.

An NRO Q&A
Barack Obama, meet your nightmare? On Monday night, BornAliveTruth.org, a new 527 released an ad starring Gianna Jessen, a 31-year-old woman who survived a saline abortion.

“I’m a survivor, as are many others . . . but if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn’t be here,” Jessen says in the ad. “Four times, Barack Obama voted to oppose a law to protect babies left to die after a failed abortion. Senator Obama, please support born alive infant protections. I’m living proof these babies have a right to live.”

…Lopez: What do you make of Sarah Palin?
Stanek: Sarah Palin offers such a contrast to Obama on this issue. She carried her Down Syndrome baby to term despite a medical recommendation otherwise and declared him “perfect” at birth. Obama heard testimony three years running of at least one baby with Down Syndrome who was set to languish alone in a soiled utility room to die, and that was acceptable to him — Culture of Life vs. the Culture of Death in a nutshell.

This is the only one of my five births that we caught on video. It is difficult for me to imagine a mother being willing to allow her child to be induced and then just left to sit alone and die in some corner of the hospital after a botched abortion. I have serious issues with Obamas Socialism and his other big government plans that will ruin our economy and run our society into the ground socially, but the biggest issue I have with him being our president is the FACT that he has been a promoter of infanticide for those children who happen to be born alive after an abortion. The following interview is damning information and should be seriously considered by all of the voting public.
As a rape survivor, I am supportive of women having the option to a very early abortion if they become pregnant after Rape or Incest, and if the life of the mother is in jeprody and she feels she can live with herself by allowing her child to be aborted, I am supportive of her having that choice, but this infanticide side of abortion goes so far beyond those options for mothers that I have to just stand up and YELL, THIS IS WRONG!!!!
I am troubled by Mr. Obamas unwillingness to own his past votes and I am completely dismayed that he continues to believe partial birth abortions are somthing that should be legislated and fought for at the state and national level of our government.
One of the main reasons that I evolved to unassisted childbirth is because I was friends with a nurse at our local Boulder Hospital and she told me that she was being forced to asist with abortions at the Boulder Abortion Clinic where the partial Birth Abortion was pioneered.
She eventually quit her job as it absolutely violated every principle of life she held dear to be involved in the murders of little babes.
When I became informed about this issue, I decided that I did not want any medical professional who had assisted with an abortion touching me or my children when they were born. I did not want the first hands that touched my child to be the hands of an abortionist. It felt right to give birth to my last two babes at home alone, with just my sweet husbands hands the first to touch.
Since this blog and all of my online work is devoted to the babies who will be born in future generations and since I am all about life, I could never in a million years endorse or support Barack Obama for president. The culture of death would be given a jolt of electricity and power as supreme court judges and federal judges would be appointed who would take all bans off of the killing of the unborn. And with socialized medicine, it would be my tax dollars that would help pay for these abominations.

Where do they stand?
The Family Research Council has researched both candidates extensively, including their comments, their former votes and news reports to compile a voter scorecard on where John McCain and Barack Obama stand on family issues. It is a highly-detailed voter guide that drills down “on the issues important to the family so as to discover not only a candidate’s position, but the depth of that position.” Footnotes and reference guides are given for further reading.
This scorecard certainly does not claim to cover every family issue, but does look at many of the ones that are or will be considered by the government. Though, in this scorecard, questions about poverty are not directly asked, by far the most significant influence on whether a child will grow up in poverty is his or her family structure. Children who grow up in intact families with married fathers and mothers are much less likely to experience poverty.

The Republicans’ Call to Arms
We recall the words of the old popular song, “What a Difference a Day Makes; 24 Little Hours.” In this political year, it was actually 38 hours, but the poetry is the same.
That’s the time-spread between the locking up of the 2008 Republican Platform on Wednesday at 8 p.m. and the selection of conservative Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as John McCain’s Veep choice at 10 a.m. on Friday. In just 38 hours, disheartened conservatives were transformed into enthusiastic Republicans, armed and ready to storm the pseudo Greek temple that Barack Obama erected in the mile-high city of Denver.
It’s hard to exaggerate the turnaround in the attitude of grassroots Republicans; a CNN reporter expressed herself as “shocked.” Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air to John McCain’s campaign.
The Republican Party Platform, hammered out by a grassroots committee with representatives from every state, gives Republicans a basis on which to rebuild their party. It’s a “call to arms,” a platform of bold colors with no pastel shades, just as Ronald Reagan described the 1976 Platform that Delegates adopted after rejecting the Ford-Kissinger platform.
This year’s Platform is a complete break from the ponderous 2004 Platform, which strung together 40,000 tiresome words. The 2008 Platform isn’t about personalities; it’s about principles.
The 2004 Platform had endorsed the “Free Trade Area of the Americas,” a foolish notion to bring about the economic integration of the Western Hemisphere and allow cheap labor to replace American jobs. The 2008 Platform sensibly calls for “a Western Hemisphere of sovereign nations with secure borders,” and the committee unanimously rejected the goal of a “North American Union” modeled on the European Union.
This year gave us a clear improvement over the previous Platform in regard to the English language. In 2004, Republicans called English “our nation’s common language” and endorsed bilingual education, but the 2008 Platform supports “English as the official language in our nation” because it is “essential as a unifying cultural force” and omits mention of bilingual ed (often called language apartheid).
The 2004 Platform had lined up with the now-defeated amnesty plan of the U.S. Senate. It endorsed a “new temporary worker program” and allowing illegal aliens currently holding jobs in the U.S. “to apply for citizenship in the same manner as those who apply from outside the United States.” In a clear break, the 2008 Platform calls for building the border fence, securing our ports, enforcing existing laws against “illegal workers and lawbreaking employers,” requiring the use of E-Verify, deporting criminal aliens, denying federal funds to sanctuary cities, and refusing driver’s licenses, in-state college tuition rates, and Social Security benefits for illegal aliens.
The 2008 Platform marks a refreshing break from the previous Platform’s obsequious kowtowing to the United Nations and other international bureaucrats. The 2004 Platform had said that the United States is “committed to lasting institutions like the United Nations and the World Trade Organization.”
The 2008 Platform doesn’t mention the WTO and includes several paragraphs of criticism of the United Nations, citing its “scandal-ridden and corrupt management,” the “disproportionate” dues we are forced to pay, and its discrimination against Israel and the Vatican.
The 2008 Platform specifically rejects the United Nations Treaty on Women and the UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child, and expresses “deep reservations” about the UN Law of the Sea Treaty.
The 2008 Platform recognizes that energy independence is vital to our national security. The Platform calls for drilling in “new oilfields” in Alaska and elsewhere, as well as developing nuclear power and clean coal.
The 2008 Platform demands that “the risk of climate change” be based on “sound science without succumbing to no-growth radicalism.” The Platform also cautions against “doomsday climate change scenarios.”
The plank affirming that “the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed,” which has been part of the Republican Platform since 1984 was, of course, included again this year. The 2008 Platform becomes the most pro-life ever by endorsing the Born Alive Infants Protection Act and the ban on partial-birth abortion, both of which identify a sharp division with Barack Obama’s legislative record.
Four years ago, many grassroots Republicans were offended by a Platform that called public schools “a foundation of a free, civil society” and bragged about having given us “the largest increase in federal education funding in history.”
The 2008 Platform better represents Republicans by standing up for parents’ rights to use vouchers, tax credits, private schools, or homeschooling, and to stop public schools from forcing students to answer personal, non-academic questionnaires without prior parental consent.
Sarah Palin and the 2008 Platform have given Republicans a new lease on life and put John McCain on the road to victory.

Awesome article with which I wholeheartedly agree!

Quotes:

“The National Organization of Women even went so far as to declare that Sarah Palin is more like a man than a woman because even though, as a working mother juggling career and family she can speak to many women, her pro-life stance means she cannot speak FOR women.

It just goes to show that feminism is a crock.

You see, Sarah Palin is the “wrong kind” of woman for several reasons. She didn’t attend elite colleges. She didn’t abandon her small-town roots in search of more enlightened climes, like New York or Los Angeles. (I mean, Alaska…who the heck would want to live out there in the boondocks? Do they even have Starbucks?) She believes all life is sacred and therefore doesn’t approve of abortion unless it is to save the mother’s life. And finally, she got where she is today not only by not following the rules set forth by feminists, but she did it without bashing men. She understands that to play successfully in the big boys’ sandbox, whining and crying about sexism and being treated differently isn’t going to cut it.”

Sarah Palin has raised her children in a way that I personally would not choose to live. I feel that it is important to be home, cooking whole foods from scratch, and very focused on my babies until they are at least three years old. Because I believe in extended breastfeeding, and have nursed my last four children on demand for 3, 4, and 51/2 years, I have felt passionate about being home to nurture and care for my little ones.
I believe these choices are important for the long term development of my childrens bodies and hearts. But I do not think that every woman has to make the same decisions I do regarding how to raise and nurture a family, and I do not believe it is fair to be dumping on Sarah because she has made the choice to work in politics while raising her children. The fact that it is mostly democrats who are doing the dumping just makes the hypocrisy factor that much more hilarious. Keep on people! You are just helping to get the word out to the people who vote in this country! The more you try to blacken her name the more you will make your own true colors shine darkly through the media stories whipping around the web right now. I get the feeling she likes a fight and will take you all on, no holds barred.
Here is Ann Coulters take on things:
Ann Coulter: THE BEST MAN TURNED OUT TO BE A WOMAN

“Barring some all-new, trivial and probably false story about Palin — her former hairdresser got a parking ticket in 1978! — the media apparently intend to keep being hysterical about McCain’s alleged failure to “vet” Palin properly. The problem with this argument is that it presupposes that everyone is asking: “HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?”

No one’s saying that.

Attacks on McCain’s “vetting” process require the media to keep claiming that Palin has a lot of problems. But she doesn’t have any problems. Remember? Those were all blind alleys.

Unfortunately, for the ordinary TV viewer hearing nonstop hysteria about nonspecific “problems,” it takes a lot of effort to figure out that every attack liberals have launched against Palin turned out to be a lie.

It’s as if a basketball player made the winning shot in the last three seconds of the game and liberals demand that we have a week-long discussion about whether the player should have taken that shot. WHAT IF HE MISSED?

With Palin, McCain didn’t miss.”
