No photo? No vote.

Quin Hillyer has written a good piece (worth a read) over at the Examiner.com. In it he discusses the recent 2-1 decision by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling the State of Indiana was within its rights to require photo IDs at voting polls.

Naturally, the Democratic Party is petitioning the Supreme Court to reverse the decision.

We all know why. Without a vibrant level of voter fraud, Democrats are forced to win elections...democratically.

And that's just not fair.

Genocide Awareness Project: May 23 & 24

For two days last week Western for Life (the pro-life club at Western Washington University), hosted the Genocide Awareness Project which exposes the injustice of abortion through graphic imagery of aborted babies posted on signs 4' X 8' in size.

Needless to say, the display was rather unpopular.

On Thursday a student managed to throw four or five eggs at the signs and get away. A couple hours later two students threw zip-lock bags filled with green paint, ruining several more signs.

But this sort of vandalism is only indicative of the truth that these students' consciences are alive and well. Seeing the images of a dismembered baby is resonating with their sense of terrible injustice. They express and direct their anger at the pictures; they are really only angry with abortion.

Over time (and with God's grace) many a heart will be converted by showing people what abortion does to innocent unborn children.

True to form, the school paper The Western Front, has provided some very biased video coverage of the event.

For all the faithful followers of Ab Opposito, my apologies for pulling a Houdini.

Here's a piece by Bach that I think fits well with my totally random reappearance on May 27.

Enjoy.

A Simple Letter (which might not be published)

For a return from my blog-hiatus, I figured this post would be as good as any. It's a letter to the editor of the Kitsap Sun I put together a few minutes ago. We'll have to wait and see if it ever makes it past the Editor's desk (or my blog).

Dear Editor,

I was quite pleased to see coverage of the local abortion protest “40 Days For Life” in the March 4^th edition of your newspaper. I must say I found it rather amusing that, “Mendy Droke, a Planned Parenthood field organizer for Kitsap County, said the organization [Planned Parenthood] does more to prevent unwanted pregnancies than anti-abortion groups.”

Uh huh. Let’s try to stay on topic, Ms. Droke. The truth is Planned Parenthood is not in the business of “preventing unwanted pregnancies,” but in violently ending them. And these days, business is up. In 2004 Planned Parenthood received $265 million from the U.S. Government. The other two thirds of their earnings came from private donations and “clinic income” (that’s Newspeak for blood-money). Perhaps their new slogan could be, ‘Planned Parenthood: Bringing death to life.’

Ingeniously, those in favor of abortion have framed this whole debate in terms of “choice.” It’s time we look beyond the lame euphemism of “choice” and focus our attention on what is actually being chosen. As a former fetus, I oppose abortion. As a former fetus, perhaps you should too.

UPDATE: The letter was published on March 10. You can find it, with blogged commentary here.
