Throwing out the bathwater

My co-worker Jeff was watching this today, the day after the "National Sanctity of Human Choice Day."
Powerful video.
But mainstream America would be offended by this video, according to Terry Mattingly's provocative line of reasoning: otherwise, why can't the CatholicVote people get a network to run their ad?

NPR reported today that "a narrow majority" of American's support abortion, and that the Mexico City Policy was viewed by most as outdated. Robert George, Hadley Arkes, and Francis Beckwith started a website to document recent political action surrounding abortion and keep a watchful eye on his actions. Literature similar to theirs is widespread, and is read by pro-lifers, including some of my teenage friends who joined the March to the Supreme Court (all of them adhere to this ). Some of them admitted they went to the Mall hoping to encounter some counter-protestors. "At one point we thought we saw people with a sign that said "Abortion is a better option!" but when we ran over there, it was some cute girls and "Adoption is a better option." If they want to face some opposition, though, all they need to do is wait.

President Obama, in an "open minded" act, revoked The Mexico City Policy. Lifesitenews reports that 22 of the nation's top pro-life group issued a joint statement In light of the U.S. economy, it seems a strange move to start funding overseas abortions, but Obama may just have the personality needed to push through his agenda and overturn Bush's legacy.

One of Bush's speechwriters, Marc Thiessen, wrote in The Washington Post that “President Obama has inherited a set of tools that successfully protected the country for 2,688 days — and he cannot dismantle those tools without risking catastrophic consequences.”

And that, Politico reports Matt Bennett of Third Way saying, is like trying to keep the baby and get rid of the bathwater.

But in this case, Obama is trying to get rid of the baby as well.
