The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government. Thomas Jefferson

Not even our friends at the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) would allow a baby born alive to die.

Is this what the abortion-friendly Democratic party has become?

Alert Readers will recall that Charmaine studied and taught on Grounds — the Academical Village — at Mr. Jefferson’s University at Virginia.

Obama is no Jefferson.

To inform voters, Americans United for Life will help fund voter guides.

CHICAGO, August 12 /Standard Newswire/ — Americans United for Life today announces the availability of $500,000 for 501(c)(3) organizations who wish to create and distribute non-partisan educational voter guides for the upcoming elections.

AUL President Dr. Charmaine Yoest said, “Voter guides are a way to empower voters to make well-informed choices on election day. Pro-life Americans want to get beyond the spin and know the truth, based on the record, about where the candidates stand.”

Daniel McConchie, AUL Vice President & Executive Director, added, “Pro-life voters are a key constituency that both Democrats and Republicans ignore at their peril. Americans United for Life is looking forward to helping pro-life Americans across the country vote their values in this election.”

AUL spent $215,000 on creation and distribution of more than 2.8 million voter guides in 2006. With the additional investment this year, AUL plans to distribute more than 6 million voter guides nationwide.

Organizations interested in applying for voter-guide funds should contact Daniel McConchie by September 12.

Gary Bauer sends us the Democrats’ position on abortion,

The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.

The Democratic Party also strongly supports access to affordable family planning services and comprehensive age-appropriate sex education which empower people to make informed choices and live healthy lives.

We also recognize that such health care and education help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for abortions.

The Democratic Party also strongly supports a woman’s decision to have a child by ensuring access to and availability of programs for pre and post natal health care, parenting skills, income support, and caring adoption programs.
