Abortion is a word that must never be sanitized. Nor may we ever forget what it describes. Abortion is the murder of a baby. It involves burning the baby alive, sucking out its brains, cutting it up in pieces or using a vacuum cleaner to dismember it. There is no anesthetic when the baby is murdered. Partial birth abortion involves delivering a mature, completely viable baby, and while the baby is being delivered, cutting open its head and removing the brain. I challenge anyone to submit a more cruel, torturous or wicked form of murder than abortion.

Republicans have different views on abortion. But there is one Republican leader whose views are unequivocal and uncompromising. He comprehensively supports the “right” of women and their doctors to murder babies. Over the years his record has been praised by Planned Parenthood (whom he supports) for his unflinching record as a United States Senator in the subsidization, defense and promotion of abortion on demand. His name is Arlen Specter.

An argument can be made that there is no Republican Senator with more blood on his hands for promoting the murder of babies than Senator Arlen Specter. The Senator even supports partial birth abortion.

I believe that the race for Senate in Pennsylvania between Jim Clymer, (Constitution); Joe Hoeffel, (Democrat), and Arlen Specter, (Republican), is the most important state-wide race in America. Here is why:

If Specter is elected he will serve as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee which oversees appointments to the federal courts and Supreme Court. The power of the Chairman to control the outcome of judicial nominees is vast.

A Specter victory likely means that the appointment of all constitutionally committed, truly pro-life judges to the Supreme Court (and possibly federal courts) will never make it out of committee. In the past, Specter has made his opposition to such judges very clear, but now he will have more power than any man in the Senate to force his pro-abortion agenda of death on the American people.

Let me put this clearly: A Republican Senatorial victory in Pennsylvania could signal the single greatest blow in recent history to the pro-life movement’s efforts to affect our judiciary. If you care about unborn babies and our court system you must oppose the Republican candidate for Senate.

Unfortunately, pro-abortion Arlen Specter has received enormous help from the Executive Office. During the Republican primary race against pro-life candidate Toumi, Specter received the unqualified support and endorsement of President George Bush. On Thursday of this week, President Bush sent out the following letter:

October 28, 2004

Dear Friend,

I write today to ask for your support on Election Day, and for you to join me in supporting Senator Arlen Specter.

Arlen is my friend, and a firm ally when it matters most. He is an independent voice for Pennsylvania, and was instrumental in helping me achieve three of my most important initiatives, on education, health care and job creation.

Arlen is also a valued advisor on national security issues. Unlike my opponent, Arlen understands that the war on terror is not a nuisance, but the most important task we face as a nation.

The former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Arlen wrote the law requiring the death penalty for terrorists who murder Americans in this country or overseas, and co-wrote the Homeland Security Act. When I think about the challenges ahead, and the battles we must fight to ensure a safer future for our families, I want Arlen Specter by my side.

Please make sure you and your neighbors vote on Tuesday, and join me in supporting Arlen Specter. Thank you.

Sincerely,

George W. Bush

P.S. Arlen Specter is the right man for the United States Senate. I can count on Arlen — that’s important. I think he has earned another term as your United States Senator

The fact is that the pro-life community was hurt when the President promised the American people that he would never have a pro-life litmus test for judges. He hurt the pro-life community even further by supporting (even over a far better Republican primary candidate) a radical pro-abortionist who, if elected, would oversee the judicial nomination process.

But the bottom line is this: A Republican Senatorial victory in Pennsylvania in 2004 is an unqualified blow to the defense of the lives of little babies. A vote for Specter is a vote to wipe out hopes for the pro-life cause on the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is a vote for a man who sanctions the vivisection of children.

Both Democratic John Kerry and Republican George Bush are supporting pro-abortionists for Senate in Pennsylvania. But you don’t have to. Nor should Christians hold their nose and vote pragmatically for the lesser of two evils by supporting the far less dangerous pro-abortion Democratic candidate.

Pennsylvania Christians may vote for a man who is a sound defender of the constitution, a devout believer, and an uncompromising advocate for the unborn. His name is Jim Clymer.

Don’t let Republican Senator Arlen Specter further destroy our Supreme Court. Learn about Jim and his campaign which appears to be gathering support in the double digits and will make a difference on November 2. Visit his website at: http://www.jimclymer.com/
