Michelle Malking has the scoop. Gianna Jensen, an abortion survivor (she was the baby), asks Sen. Obama to protect the lives of children born during an abortion. Rather than agree, Sen. Obama attacks the ad as “sleazy”. (There’s a sexist term if I ever heard one.) Of course, the ad that is a response to Gianna’s question is run during shows that only Obama supporters could stomache. He’s not trying to counter the ad in the markets where it ran.
He gave up this fight before it even began, just like the congressional democrats on the financial troubles.

On the topic of abortion, even many people who defend the possibility of legal abortions, they say they are not pro-abortion, but they don’t want to punish women who are in this difficult situation. In Germany a curious thing has happened. Something that reflects that legal abortion affects adversely to the country. And also that the change is possible: you can promote a culture of life with the support of the citizens, when really there is a real wish of avoid abortions. Since the liberalization of abortion in this country, the number of abortions is officially four million. For that reason, among others, children are seen as an unintended effect of having sex. Many people thought it was necessary to promote greater social acceptance of children in an aging society. And civil society acted, without waiting for action by the State to promote births. They joined several media organizations in a campaign. Interestingly, after the campaign, the birth rate has risen in Germany. The video is exciting.

When pro-lifers talk about how abortion promotes the “culture of death”, people think that that is a distant thing, vague and imaginary, like Hell. But it is real. There is great hope for Germany and other countries when they embrace children as the only national resource, and having children to call your own the only treasure.
I know I grew up in a house where money came and went, along with the things money buys, but family is forever, and we grew up knowing that we were the only thing that mattered to our parents, even more than themselves.
