The Abortion Lobby is beginning to make good on its promise to “make our priorities the law of the land”. That grandiose vision was articulated by Ellen Malcolm, head of the pro-abort Emily’s List. Her comments came at a rally for their endorsed candidate for president, Hillary Clinton, earlier this month.

“In 2008, we are going to finish the job… and welcome President Hillary Clinton,” Malcolm added. “It is time to elect a president who will protect a woman’s rights, particularly their reproductive rights.”

They have begun to collect on that vision. Last week Democrat congressional leaders were caught putting special language to protect Planned Parenthood’s sweetheart RU-486 contract into the Iraq War funding bill. The deal is worth millions to Planned Parenthood.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi joined Clinton at the event. Pelosi celebrated with the abortion activists their victories in November: “We have two houses back, the House and Senate – only one to go.”

While it will be painful to watch the Abortion Lobby push its agenda through every imaginable legislative trick over the next two years – there is every reason to hope that America will be repulsed by their depravity.
