How ironic that events abound today for evolutionist Charles Darwin's 200th birthday, but not for emancipator Abraham Lincoln's (Pioneer Press, Happy birthday, Darwin. Oh, you too, Lincoln.).
What does it say about a society when it largely overlooks the man who ended the evil of slavery in the United States, but widely celebrates the legacy of a man who unleashed the most unspeakable evils in the history of the human race?
How did Darwin do that? By dressing up with a veneer of scientific respectability a dehumanizing worldview that justifies genocide as survival of the fittest. Think Hitler, Stalin, Mao...
Darwinists should be apologizing to the world in shame, not celebrating.
Abraham Lincoln is the real hero whose birth 200 years ago today is cause for celebration.

Planned Parenthood's ( Custer's?) Last Stand
According to a Wall Street Journal story, Planned Parenthood has announced plans to enter the political arena (I didn't know they weren't already involved in some shape or form.) with a $10 million campaign to persuade 1 million voters to vote for pro-abortion candidates. I'm told this is to be combined with the $46 million plus Emily's List expects to spend on pro-abortion candidates and NARAL's $10 million.
It strikes me as a sign of desperation. Public opinion is steadily moving in the pro-life direction especially among young people. The recent pro-life rally in DC saw an unusually large number of young people involved. The number of pro-life bills introduced in state legislatures was up by 50% in 2007 over 2006. And the number of abortions have dropped to their lowest level in 30 years.
Planned Parenthood sees the writing on the wall and is making it's last stand in the political arena. The battle over these issues is ultimately won or lost in the culture. As Abraham Lincoln once said in his first debate with Stephen Douglas, "...public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who molds public sentiment, goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed."
