Two recent events south of the border illustrate the importance and centrality of life issues in the political sphere: the Obama administration mandated that all employers cover contraception in insurance plans and the Komen Foundation for a Cure, which raises money to fight breast cancer, was bullied into reversing its decision to stop giving grants to Planned Parenthood. Both stories demonstrate the power of the abortion industry and the willingness of their allies in politics, business, and the media to fight hard for their (diabolical) agenda. We should follow their example and fight on the cultural fronts like lives count on our efforts – because they do.
