A Pro-Life Message from Moonhowlings.net

Every year about this time, at least one carload of kids is needlessly snuffed out.  If calling attention to this killing time saves one kid, then our “ink” has been well-spent.  Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles!  Please become involved.

The Washington Post article “Proms, graduations and teen crashes: The worst season for police official and father” is a must read by everyone. It features Captain Tom Didone and his efforts to save young lives.  Three years ago Capt. Didone lived every parent’s worst nightmare–his own child was senselessly killed in a crash. He was called to the scene.     If you have never been close to this situation, you are fortunate.  I have been and I remain scarred.  My child lived.  Someone else’s didn’t.   Now I fear it for my grandchildren.

This time of year seems to bring about more crashes and more deaths than any other time of year.  Young folks think they are immortal.  Their youth and exuberance reinforces this misconception.  Proms and graduations bring about the spirit of celebration.  The kids have their entire lives before them….or do they?

A vote Thursday on a bill to outlaw sex-selective abortion is the latest step in an awkward dance between the House Republican leadership and the large faction of passionate abortion opponents in the caucus.

Anti-abortion bills percolate constantly in committee, but leadership has not been pushing to get them to the floor as they attempt to stay focused on an economic message, say sources close to anti-abortion Republican members. But for this bill, anti-abortion advocates say sponsor Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) got a vote scheduled as a concession when he agreed not to try to attach the measure to the Violence Against Women Act, which has been bogging down Republicans on a divisive social issue.

Are you people nuts?  How do you control something like that?  Why are Republicans continuing to bring up social issues and scuttling attempts to bring up ideas that help the economy?  In the first place, how many abortions a year are performed for the purpose of sex selection?  Unknown.  (and likely to stay that way)  Why would anyone say they were going to have an abortion because they were pregnant with a boy and they wanted a girl?  Insanity. 

Republicans–you bloviate and carried on before the mid-term elections that you were going to solve the economy.  You haven’t.  Get busy and live up to your promise.  Stop screwing around with this kind of absurd, ridiculous stuff.  Any congressman or woman voting yes on this kind of

legislation should be dunked in the Potomac.  

 We have a tax crisis coming up at the end of the year.  Work on that for a while.  Do something.  Democrats, don’t go running scared rabbit on this stupid legislation.  Vote NO.
