silent auction, live auction...abortion auction??

I do not hide my pro-life stance. I strongly believe that life is sacred and begins the moment the sperm breaks the edge of the egg's wall. I will not apologize for my stance.

I mentioned in a previous post that October is Respect Life month. You don't hear about this because of everything pink. Yep, breast-cancer awareness as well. We have a veritable EPIDEMIC of it today, whereas it wasn't very common 60 years ago. That, however, shall be the subject of another post.

As a member of the Live Action movement, I receive updates on Facebook and emails from the organization. Just yesterday, I received a link to a story that shocked me - NARAL in Washington held its 30th Annual Liberty Ball & Masquerade. Ok, so even if I strongly wish that this organization didn't exist, I can't complain because they simply held an annual event, right? WRONG!

Jill Stanek, a prominent pro-life blogger, provides the link provided by NARAL to a blog that offered a shout-out about the event. In the post, the first paragraph states that NARAL auctioned off a first-trimester abortion. The Afternoon Jolt (blog) calls it "audacious", and praises the move. The Morning Fizz, not to be outdone, expounded on the topic, saying, "one prize stayed true the politics at hand: 'Fund a first-trimester abortion at Aurora Medical Services for a woman in need.'" They further say that they offered a vasectomy in the auction. (I will address my issues with all forms of contraception in a later post.)

It makes me sick.

May God have mercy on our country.
