The Patriot Post® · A Strategy for Pro-Life Republicans

Cal Thomas: “[I]f Republicans are serious about advancing protection for the unborn in the age of Obamacare, they will adopt a different strategy. They might start by looking back 50 years to the civil rights movement. People who are old enough to remember, or have seen the film ‘Selma,’ recall how pictures and personal stories helped move the hearts and change the minds of many Americans in support of civil rights legislation. Pictures of blacks being beaten by white police officers or being denied service at lunch counters or forced to use separate restrooms – even murdered – shocked much of the nation. As Black History Month begins next week, the Republican Congress should hold a series of hearings on the impact the elimination of 55 million unborn lives has had on our culture. They can begin with testimony from black women and men like J. Kenneth Blackwell, a former Ohio secretary of state and currently a policy board member of the American Civil Rights Union. … If ‘black lives matter’ – and they do and should – they need to be protected in the womb, as well as in the streets.”
