On the other hand, Stanley Ann Dunham took her punishment, and named it Barack. A student, unmarried, at 18 years of age, Ms. Dunham was the perfect candidate to exercise choice. But Liberation Day, celebrated by feminists each January 22,  was still more than a decade away. So with little hope, and fewer choices, Ms. Dunham bore the fetus to term, and entered into a doomed marriage with  a polygamist.  he polygamist abandoned Ms. Dunham and her child, so Barack Obama, every day of his life, was a first-hand witness to the punishment that single mothers endure.

Lisa Fabrizio prays that President Obama never has to explain to his girls that their lives were a punishment to their mother. Miss Fabrizio need not be concerned. Had the girls been viewed as punishment, all options were open. Not so for Ms. Dunham.

March they did and Thank God. Some read this as a statement of it being a Religious gathering and while most people there were people of Faith, it is for LIFE that they gathered, not for their respective Faiths.

True most people there were Catholic, the organizers were Catholics, others of Christian denominations, Orthodox Jews, and believe it or not I am sure atheists were there too. Once John Cardinal O'Connor reported that he had been told by an atheist that "of course I am Pro-life, that is all I have."

It is also true that Catholic Cardinals, Bishops, priests, Protestant Ministers, and Orthodox Rabbis were there, as citizens supporting the lay people, their congregants. It is also true that Faith teaches that abortion is murder.

Some opponents of Life say we force our Religion and or morality on them. Not so. Neither will we stand by and allow pro-death people to force their lack of Faith or morals or perhaps I should say their secular religion upon us. There is a reason.

There is another component to this. Just because most of the people who are Pro- Life are people of Judeo/Christian Faiths does not mean it is only about that.

While many do not recognize the fact, Faith and Reason or Faith and science compliment one another and are never opposed, except when a miracle occurs. Then it is outside the realm of science/reason.

It is hard for those pro-death people to realize that those people of Faith happen to be intelligent enough and open minded enough to go the extra step and check out the science.

Today we have DNA, we know that a person is a person at the moment of fertilization/conception. We also know that embryonic stem cells have not worked and according to some scientists never will because they promote growth and development, while the adult and cord blood cells promote health and healing.

It comes down to, if the zygote or embryo has the proper number of chromosomes, it is a human person, separate from her/his Mother. Even if those chromosomes are askew. Mothers are only guardians for God/nature.

Simple as 1 and 1 are two and two and two are four.

But most pro-death people do not want to hear the facts. Just kill the babies either by abortion or most forms of contraception. It does not matter as long as we are not "Punished with a baby".

Is it known here that some countries are in such bad shape economically they are paying women to have babies.

Perhaps if the 50,000,000 babies that have been murdered surgically since 1973 had been allowed to live we might not be in the economic straits we are in today. Most certainly people would not have to worry about their Social Security because there would be the workers there to support it.
