“…the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.” – President Barack Obama, 20 January 2009

When I read these words from his inaugural address, I couldn't help but think about the Declaration of Independence which says ...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Notice that Life is listed first among the Rights. And let's admit that without Life, it's awfully hard to enjoy the other two.

How does our new president reconcile his own words with his stance on abortion? Is it a matter of political convenience that he groups a whole class (the unborn) as less than human? Doesn't he realize the irony that he was once considered less than human using similarly flawed reasoning?

Here are some sobering statistics about this Hidden Holocaust...

More than 49 Million Abortions since 1973
4,000 more abortions every day
1 in 4 pregnancies ends in abortion (statistics from the Center for Disease Control)

A sad irony is that black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are roughly 2 times as likely so on a percentage of pregnancy basis, a minority child is more prone to be aborted than a white one.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece, Dr. Alveda King, is doing her best to point out that her uncle's dream will not come true while abortion is still rampant in America.

I pray that Obama puts his money where his mouth is and reconsiders his stance on abortion.

I also hope you'll consider joining us for the Texas Rally for Life this weekend. You can find out more at www.TexasRallyForLife.org.
