Rally around Obama's words

"We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."


(HT: Anybody There?)

We will not apologize for celebrating the lives of the vulnerable: of unborn children, disabled newborns, incapacitated adults. We will stand in solidarity with this mom and others like here:



We will stand in solidarity with parents like these, who recognize that even a dying child has worth and dignity:



We will never treat them like abortion supporters do -- as if they need to apologize for their children's very existence.

We will stand in solidarity with women like Ashli, who deserve real medical care, not abandonment to the anguish of a dead child:



We will never concede that what these women and families endured is an acceptable price to pay for "choice". We will never join you in abandoning demoralized women to the mercies of abortionists who stand to profit from their fear and despair.

We will continue to be there, to fight for women like this young mother:



And let me bring Obama's words back here: "...for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."

We will never join Barack Obama in accepting the abandonment of fragile infants to a lonely death. We will never waver in our determinate to provide them with the care they deserve.

We will never buy into the lie that legal abortion supposedly saves women's lives. We will not give in to those who hold women hostage to rhetoric, to those who insist that we must allow them to kill babies with medical instruments, lest they kill mothers with coathangers. Those who threaten to kill women if abortion is criminalized are killing them anyway, even as they've been given free rein to kill the children.



We will never embrace buying anything at the cost of mothers' tears and children's lives.

We're not going away. And we won't stop until every child is welcomed, and ever mother given the support and love she deserves.
