Unfortunately, President Obama is expected to make true the worst fears of defenders of innocent life.  ABC News reports that he is today expected to sign an executive order overturning the Mexico City Policy, in effect permitting American tax dollars to be spent funding abortions around the world.  

Abortion WILL become more frequent, today, with untold thousands of innocent lives snuffed out between this date and the reinstatement of the policy upon the election of a pro-life replacement in the White House.  Compounding the tragedy is the fact that you and I will be paying for the killings.  

Simply put, elections have consequences.  We cannot, for a single moment, allow ourselves to be plied by sugar-coated speeches, popular sentiment and the adulation of the mainstream media.  How men and women who claim to be pro-life can justify their vote for this man in light of today's action... I just plain don't get it.

As heartbreaking as today's executive order is, though, the testimony, conviction and commitment of the men and women and children who came together yesterday in DC is equally encouraging.  And they weren't alone.

Yesterday hundreds gathered at the steps of the Capitol in Lansing, Michigan as well.  It was cold, it was windy and it was overcast... the meteorological equivalent of the political climate for life, but there wasn't an ounce of quit or loss of compassion in these families.

Nearly a dozen legislators were in attendance... Representatives Rick Jones, Tom McMillin, Matt Lori... Democratic Senator John Gleason.  Senator Alan Cropsey spoke to the crowd, encouraging them to continue championing life and reminding everyone of the importance of the cause.  He cautioned that the new administration would likely attempt, soon, to overturn the global gag order and encouraged folks to press their Congressmen hard and frequently to influence the administration in the cause of life.  

Today the President made Cropsey a prophet.  And now I can only wonder how Senator Gleason rationalizes his support of a man that helped enable the new slaughter of thousands of children across the globe.
