"The method of conception doesn't change the definition of life."

Somehow or other, there will be some Catholics voting for Obama on November 6th.  Yet, the Obama Campaign makes absolutely no secret of its disdain for those with consistently pro life positions:

The Obama Campaign is in full attack mode against recent comments by candidate Richard Mourdock: "Even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen." [The criminal is NOT the innocent pre born child but the rapist!  Here's a man daring to speak the truth, "whether it is convenient or inconvenient," in a time "when people will not tolerate sound doctrine...and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths."]

 

The Obama Campaign shows its absolutely pro death extremism, in its attack on the words of vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan: "The method of conception doesn't change the definition of life" [Bravo Paul Ryan!!!].

Judie Brown, founder of the American Life Leage and member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, has long been like "the voice of one crying out in the desert."  While others remain silent, she dares to speak the truth amidst terrifying hatred toward vulnerable human life and the character of those who come to the defense of our vulnerable brothers and sisters:

• "First it was Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin who defended the lives of innocent preborn children created during the vicious act of rape. Now it’s Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock who has done the same—and the media is going nuts...."And while it is clear to pro-life Americans that both of these men have taken positions consistent with their pro-life philosophy, it is not so with the mainstream media. CNN, among others, has labeled such statements as forms of extremism....
  
  "men like Akin and Mourdock are making it possible for the glimmering lights of truth and reason to shine through.
  
  "We are obligated to grasp these opportunities and expand on the teaching moments they provide. By sharing simple, humane explanations that defy the illogic of pro-abort apologists, we will appeal to those who see beyond the 'issue' to have a glimpse of the human baby....
  
  "An extremist is a radical who possesses a rabid rhetoric that is designed to instill fear, uncertainty, and instability among those who are not well grounded in facts. This is the role into which CNN, many other media, and more than a few politicians have willingly stepped in an effort to protect decriminalized abortion at all costs. And if that requires lies and misleading statements, so be it they say.
  
  "Oh really? Well we say no! Now is the time to meet the real victim of abortion and to understand that whether he is created during a violent act such as rape or incest, in a petri dish, or through the loving embrace of a couple, he is an individual who possesses every shred of integrity that you and I do.
  
  "Extremism is a practice, an excuse for defending the indefensible; being pro-life on the other hand is a prudent, sensible way of living life to the fullest. We have the advantage; let us use it."
