I probably don't need to say much more than the Washington Post and USA Today wrote glowingly of a new "pro-life" plan. Red flags arise.

Last week USA Today editorialized:

Realism seems to have struck some ardent foes of abortion. After 35 years of trying to outlaw the procedure nationally while chipping away at abortion rights state by state, they have decided to add a new and sensible initiative. They'll work with the other side to reduce the number of abortions.

It's not that the opponents changed their minds or that they're any less committed to their cause. It's just that they have done the new math. And the numbers don't add up to more anti-abortion justices on the U.S. Supreme Court or a sea change on the issue among most Americans.

The new "pro-life" coalition is composed of Barack Obama supporters, and they're a little late with their Supreme Court math. Whatever. Smokescreen anyway.

To refresh, the authentic pro-life position is:

• Preborn humans are persons to be constitutionally protected.
  
  
• Abortion is therefore murder and to be remade illegal.
  
  
• Abortion can only be prevented by chaste living: abstinence until marriage and faithfulness within marriage. In fact, this is a cure-all. Forty years of deviation from that model have resulted in disaster: over 1 million abortions annually; illegitimacy of over 50 percent of babies now born to mothers under 30; an explosion of virulent, antibody resistant sexually transmitted diseases and strains, one – HIV – incurable and terminal.
  
  
• The faith community should love and provide for mothers in crisis pregnancies, their babies and families, not the government, which is a proven social-care failure.

Obama says even though he's unclear when human beings get human rights, he supports abortion and is also hostile to abstinence education and pregnancy care centers.

So, what's a counterfeit pro-life Obama supporter to do?

The list includes Mara Vanderslice, religious outreach director for the 2004 Kerry campaign and founder of Matthew 25 Network; Doug Kmiec, Pepperdine University law professor who was refused communion for supporting Obama; Nicholas Cafardi, who was forced to resign from the Board of Franciscan University over his support of Obama; Pastor Joel Hunter, who prays with Obama and gave the closing benediction at the Democrat National Convention; Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference; the pro-abortion group Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good; "progressive evangelical" Jim Wallis and his group Sojourners; Richard Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals; and liberal Jesuit Rev. Thomas Reese, who was forced to resign as editor in chief from the Catholic magazine Amerca for promoting liberal ideology.

If you've missed spotting any of these pro-life "activists," as the clueless Washington Post deemed them, at pro-life events like the annual March for Life, or speaking or writing on the pro-life issue, it's because they've been MIA.

Not that I wouldn't welcome newbies; I'm kind of one myself.

Just not Obama supporters who argued that despite his support of abortion on demand even after delivery, Obama's "abortion reduction" plan allowed pro-lifers to vote for him, and besides, there were other equally important issues.

Relevant is that a multi-billion dollar international industry has mushroomed in the past 40 years from the promotion and treatment of illicit sex: "comprehensive sex education" programs, contraceptive sales, STD treatment and abortion.

Relevant because much of the tax money to be spent on this progressive "pro-life" strategy would go to that industry, which was, of course, why they so vigorously supported Obama.

According to USA Today, the pro-Obama, pro-life think tank supports this strategy:

… to push a new agenda, passage of measures to provide low-income, pregnant women with the kind of services and education that could discourage them from seeking abortions. …

Meaning? Reinstate welfare, nationalize health care (abortion), and push failed comprehensive sex ed and failed widespread contraceptive access on an even grander scale.

In defending welfare, both newspapers cited a 2000 Guttmacher (research arm of Planned Parenthood) study finding abortion among women in poverty was four times higher than woman of means.

They didn't site another Guttmacher Institute study that found 97 percent of all abortion mills are located in urban areas, where those poor women live.

In supporting the new agenda, Hunter lamented all the "fighting and … hostility of the culture wars," a sure sign he's a pro-life fraud; he has no stomach.

Face it, Pastor. There is only one way to end this war.

Tell your friends to repent or surrender.

And you, too.
