The most recognizable face in President Obama's cabinet, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, basked in the adoration of Planned Parenthood last Friday in Houston as she accepted the group's highest honor, the Margaret Sanger Award. During her remarks, the country's chief diplomat promised to live up to Sanger's legacy by making international family planning (including abortion) a top global policy goal. "I want to assure you that reproductive rights...will be a key to the foreign policy of this administration." The unofficial ambassador for abortion gushed about Sanger, the award's namesake and Planned Parenthood's founder. "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision," said Clinton. While Planned Parenthood may downplay Sanger's real vision--racial eugenics--her other objective, "unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children...," has been at the heart of the organization's modern mission. That work--"Margaret Sanger's work"--"is not yet done," said Hillary Clinton. She described a new age of integrating "family planning" and diplomacy. "At the end of the next four years, I hope we'll be able to look around the world and see that... organizations like Planned Parenthood will be our partners."
With women like Hillary Clinton in key posts, the greatest obstacle for pro-life groups may not be pro-abortion leaders who lobby the government, but pro-abortion leaders who are now a part of the government. None of us can afford to stand on the sidelines as the government actively works against pro-lifers and the growing network of pregnancy resource centers...
