Eric Wilson reflects on Obama’s win last night

November 5, 2008 by Eric James Wilson  
Filed under Uncategorized

Last night, as the networks began announcing Obama’s win, I started to sense the uphill battle we will face as Catholics, Christians, and Americans in promoting a culture of life for the next four years.  The Church, in many quarters, has failed to provide the clarion call for that which we must hold dear.  During the campaign, Obama promised to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) into law upon reaching the White House.  Should he make good on this promise, the consciences of millions of Americans will be violated – an overreach for which nobody will ever have a mandate.  Lastly, I found it tragically ironic that while we were reflecting, as a nation, on the racial progress represented by the historic election, that roughly one third of our country’s African Americans are not alive to witness it because they have been killed through legal abortion.

    A true tragedy. The truth is that African-Americans would have much MORE political power if so many poor black infants were not aborted in America. They would be an even larger demographic.

    Planned Parenthood purposefully targets African-American mothers. It was all part of Margaret Sanger’s plan when she founded Planned Parenthood.
