Bravo for South Dakota!

Strong pro-life support is at work in South Dakota, as reported at www.lifesite.net. The following is an excerpt of their article, because, hey, they said it first and best, and why should I try to re-word it??

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. October 11, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – South Dakota’s prohibition on abortion, passed overwhelmingly in the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Mike Rounds, awaits a public referendum set for November 7th. In the meantime, the law – called by Rounds “a direct challenge” to Roe vs. Wade – is being supported by a strongly pro-woman campaign that points to the psychological and physical damage done to women by abortion.
Complaining that the pro-life supporters’ emphasis on the harm abortion does to women has disconcerted their strategy, Planned Parenthood of Minnesota and North and South Dakota is worried that the referendum is going to backfire.
Talking about the psychological and physical harms of abortion, “adds an element we're not accustomed to” Planned Parenthood president and chief executive Sarah Stoesz told the Los Angeles Times. “It's a different line of debate. And that is something we struggle with politically.”

So the pro-aborts aren't accustomed to addressing the "psychological and physical harms of abortion".... hmmm...maybe because it would cut into their profits too much if women actually knew the TRUTH!!!!

This victory is EXACTLY why it is so important to be ACTIVELY pro-life. It is NOT enough to be pro-life in values and beliefs. We are called to action! There is a quote, and I can't remember by whom (somebody help me out here) that says "All it takes for evil to flourish is a few good men to do nothing" - or something to that effect. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a paid membership to your local Right to Life group.
You may think it doesn't matter, but don't forget: numbers are everything to politicians and the media - it is much more impressive to say "we have a membership of 5000 who hold the same beliefs" than to go and say "well, we have 300 people belonging to our organization..." Who would you think has more clout? The time to act is NOW! If you do not have a membership in your local Life group (contact your local pro-life organization or CPC to find out where to sign up!) please get one! It is only because there are a large number of active pro-life people ACCOUNTED for in places like South Dakota that pro-life legislation can be passed!
Thanks, and God Bless....
