The newly elected chair to the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele has just been announced as this years guest speaker at the Vanderburgh County Chapter (Evansville,Indiana) of Right to Life's annual spring banquet. Steele is the first African-American to chair the RNC. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say. Hopefully the party of Abraham Lincoln will once again speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Slavery was the first time an individual thought of human life as property which had no voice. Early Wesleyans were adamant in its abolition. They would use ballot, boycott, and whatever other means it took to advance their cause. When sugar was produced by slave labor, they would buy it elsewhere or do without. They put the value of another human being's life before their personal comfort or convenience. I realize in today's world of big box retail, many brands fall under one brand name. Surely we can do more to make our voice heard in the marketplace and the voting booth. Of course, we can never neglect prayer and fasting. I personally believe that when society becomes more informed as to what abortion actually entails, the industry will crumble just as when William Wilburforce brought the issue to the forefront of the England of his day. Then as now, the government was slow to to act, even though the majority of public opinion was against the issue. ..You can find more info on the upcoming banquet in my links section,"Vanderburgh Right to Life."...Keith 1 Cor 13
