This eyewitness report was first posted on the Internet website www.SmallVictoriesUSA.com. The source is Angela Michael, a fearless and often harassed sidewalk counselor / abortion intervener at the notorious Hope [sic] Clinic [sic] in Granite City, Illinois, a town in the St. Louis Metro East area. Mrs. Michael and her husband have led vigils at the late-term abortuary (which was plaintiff in the suit against Illinois’s Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act) for many years. The reader will find a range of emotions in this passionate report, from deep frustration and righteous anger to tender compassion. The reader will find also the reality of slaughterhouse-grade conditions and practices at this hugely profitable, virtually unregulated magnet abortion mill. We reprint Mrs. Michael’s report with the hope of opening minds and reaching hearts with the urgent need to limit and soon, please, Lord, recriminalize abortion in America.

Most of us understand that children are the only future a nation has. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, apparently does not.

Among the first targets of the incoming administration, most observers expect, is the policy handed down by Pres. Bush in August, 2001, disqualifying from federal funding any experiments sacrificing embryonic human beings.

It was seen at the time as a controversial policy, but it carefully followed an ethical standard and has served both the taxpayers and the legitimate research community well. Without the Bush policy, federally funded bioscientists would still be spinning wheels trying to find a sunbeam in a blizzard, chasing wild geese instead of developing actual therapies and cures through ethical adult stem cell research.

Text of Oct. 11, 2008, remarks by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, GOP Vice Presidential nominee, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania

… In this same spirit, as defenders of the culture of Life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life. I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable or more innocent than a child?

When I learned that my son Trig would have special needs, I had to prepare my heart for the challenges to come. At first I was scared, and Todd and I had to ask for strength and understanding. But I can tell you a few things I’ve learned already.

The Palin phenomenon – the immediate embrace of Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin by vast numbers of voters, energizing them into the 2008 political campaign – is not hard to grasp if one understands one essential truth about the American voter: People are hungry for authenticity.

In Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, they are seeing “the real deal,” a woman with such an open face, such a guileless demeanor that their usual skepticism is disarmed.

Jewish World Review Feb. 25, 1999/ 8 Adar, 5759
Paul Greenberg

(JWR) — (http://www.jewishworldreview.com) HERE IN ARKANSAS, the Legislature is in session, and its members are being taught the facts of life, or rather of death. They’re learning that in these United States in 1999, any attempt to protect children still in the womb must be oh-so-carefully drawn — lest it offend Roe v. Wade and all the other artifacts of our culture of death.
