NRLC 2008 Introduces Pro-Life Senator McCain,
Exposes Pro-Abortion Sen. Obama

Parts two, three

Editor’s note. Part Two is the text from pro-life Senator John McCain’s inspiring video address to the NRL convention. Part Three is the text of pro-life President George W. Bush’s excellent video message which vividly reminded us what a difference it makes who occupies the White House.

By the time you finish reading Friday’s TN&V, you will feel as if you actually attended NRLC 2008. Over the next five days, we’ll talk about the extraordinary three-day convention that brought pro-life activists from around the world to the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Crystal City, Virginia.

Today, I’ll touch on a couple of the highlights just to whet your appetite. Be sure to pass this information on to friends, family, and colleagues. Please encourage them to join the TN&V family by signing up at http://nrlc.org/join_our_mailing_list.htm

The truism I try to keep foremost in my brain is that not everyone is blessed with the same opportunities I am to keep close tabs on what is taking place in the run-up to the November presidential election. Even now lots of people are just tuning into a battle which pits a staunch pro-lifer against a down-the-line [and beyond] pro-abortionist.

Media outlets such as ABC News, Politico, the New York Times, and C-Span flocked to hear former Senator Fred Thompson speak on Thursday and Karl Rove address the convention on Friday. Both hailed Sen. McCain as a solid pro-lifer whom the Movement could count on.

Thompson said McCain “is strongly supportive of sound constitutionalists on the bench,” adding, McCain “has been consistently pro-life throughout his career.” Rove talked of the very private McCain who, along with his wife Cindy, adopted a child from Mother Teresa’s orphanage in Bangladesh.

In another general session, pro-life champion Rep. Chris Smith reflected back on the days when McCain was first elected as a Congressman when Smith sat next to McCain on a House committee. McCain would ask Smith (the co-chair of the House Pro-life Caucus) “how our issue was doing,” Smith said. Smith’s described McCain as “proudly pro-life,” a man he has known and trusted for 30 years. “McCain won’t waffle, capitulate or retreat” on abortion, Smith assured his audience.

In his own video remarks to the convention, McCain said, “Throughout these years I have always believed that the most important duty of our national leaders is to protect human life. He added, “We protect the lives of the most vulnerable, whether they are the unborn, the elderly, or the disabled. It is a privilege to defend Americans in war and in peace.”

McCain continued, “I will proudly defend my record of protecting human life during key debates on domestic and international policy. I am proud to have supported a ban on partial-birth abortion, and legislation that would protect children who survived an abortion procedure.” [See Part Two.]

Tomorrow we will discuss in detail pro-abortion militant Sen. Barack Obama, a man who has no more respect for the truth than he does for unborn babies. Day in and day out, Obama clouds his record, tailors his words, and smudges the truth that as an Illinois state Senator he was determined that no baby who survives an abortion be given any care.
