This election is a matter of life and death

So what's the big issue of this election cycle? The economy? The war? Healing race relations? I'd argue none of the above.

Much has been reported about Barack Obama's unprecedented radical stance re the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, but this doesn't seem to have generated the public outrage it should. It seems most either haven't heard about BAIPA or laugh it off, incredulous that such a nice guy would actually promote infantacide.

Lest anyone think Obama's BAIPA record is an aberration, I encourage taking a look at Robert George's article, "Obama's Abortion Extremism." Professor George was also interviewed by Bill Bennett last week (audio here), during which he gave what I believe to be a great, concise, comprehensive summary of Obama's radical positions. As Bennett put it, Obama goes beyond pro-choice -- he's pro-abortion.

For example (from the article):

He has promised that "the first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act" (known as FOCA). This proposed legislation would create a federally guaranteed "fundamental right" to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, including, as Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia has noted in a statement condemning the proposed Act, "a right to abort a fully developed child in the final weeks for undefined 'health' reasons." In essence, FOCA would abolish virtually every existing state and federal limitation on abortion, including parental consent and notification laws for minors, state and federal funding restrictions on abortion, and conscience protections for pro-life citizens working in the health-care industry-protections against being forced to participate in the practice of abortion or else lose their jobs. The pro-abortion National Organization for Women has proclaimed with approval that FOCA would "sweep away hundreds of anti-abortion laws [and] policies."

With an Obama presidency, he'll have a Democrat Congress and, eventually, a Liberal Supreme Court on his side. All three branches of government will be hard-Left, and they will aided and abetted by a complicit media in passing all tenets of their radical agenda. People are talking about the socialist tax structure, the punitive energy policy, the destructive universal health care proposals, and the impotent foreign policy, but let's not forget that the coming agenda will also include a Culture of Death. Gruesome partial birth abortion will be promoted, and parental notification laws will be repealed. It will take generations to undo the legislative damage, and literally millions of lives are at stake.

The only chance to stop it is a McCain presidency. McCain and (particularly) Palin are committed to a Culture of Life, and this, I believe, trumps any other issue about which McCain may veer off the reservation. If the pro-Life cause is important to you, please work with me as hard as you can these last two weeks to help John McCain across the finish line. Don't let the polls fool you (remember who's conducting them) -- this race isn't over yet!
