03/10/2004: "Celebrate abortion!"

Did you know that today is the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers? Did you even know there was such a thing? Well, there is, and if you're a member of a mainline church, there may be leadership somewhere in your denomination that supports it.

It's proclaimed each year by Refuse and Resist, a far-left advocacy organization (you know, the kind of folks who think Amerikkka is on the verge of becoming a police state). R&R lists the sponsors of this joyous annual event here, and while for the most part they're the usual suspects (ACLU, Catholics [sic] for a Free Choice, NOW, Naral Pro-Choice America, etc.), one of them is the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Among the member organizations of the RCRC are: the United Methodist Board of Church and Society and Women's Division; Presbyterian Church (USA) Women's Ministries; United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries; Episcopal Church Women in Mission and Ministry; Church of the Brethren's Women's Caucus; and the YWCA. Presumably they'd all like you to hug an abortionist today, and keep those support checks rolling in. At least as interesting as their participation in Kiss an Abortionist Day is the involvement of mainline groups like these with a moonbat outfit like Refuse and Resist. Of course, these are also some of the same people who think former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark (of Stalinist Workers World Party and International ANSWER fame) is a mainstream liberal.
