Obama and his delusions

I'm not one who is normally into self-torture, but as president of the National Pro-Life Alliance I have felt obliged to watch the coverage of the Democratic National Convention.

Now after watching the first two days I'm amazed.

Not that the Obama handlers have been able to trot out a flood of pro-abortion zealots.

Pro-abortion zealots like Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, Nancy Keenan of the so-called National Abortion Rights Action League(NARAL), and Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services.

No, what amazes me is that they are so out of touch politically and morally that they somehow seem to think killing the unborn is a winning issue.

Particularly when post-election surveys over the years have consistently shown that being pro-life is not only morally right, but also good politics.

The fact is, even in 2008 when Obama was elected the pro-life movement actually added support in Congress for the passage of a Life at Conception Act to overturn Roe v. Wade.

And in 2010 the winning percentage for pro-life candidates was off the charts.

Yet instead of recognizing these realities they trot out the same old pro-abortion message.

In fact, the Democrat Convention actually voted to make taxpayer funding of abortion for the full nine months of pregnancy a plank of their platform . . . something that American voters overwhelmingly oppose.

I guess they are either so locked into their own ideology or are so desperate to change the debate from jobs and the economy that they think any other issue is to be desired.

Yet for now I have to face watching Mr. Obama tonight.

Then tomorrow, it's back to building the pro-life majority to pass a Life at Conception Act to overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion-on-demand once and for all.

For Life,

Martin Fox, President
National Pro-Life Alliance
