We are all familiar with the comparison that is drawn between what goes into the making of sausage and the making of legislation. It is said in truth that if you could watch sausage being made, you would not want to eat it.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill” has taken on a life of its own. Even the President has lost control of all that is being added to it. It has become link sausage.
The Washington Times reports that the “One Big Beautiful Bill” is 1,000 pages long. What might it contain besides a provision to defund Planned Parenthood that may be brought out later by those wishing to discredit the lofty mission of Students for Life? It would be different if it was simply a bill to defund Planned Parenthood only, but with this omnibus bill Students for Life are adding their imprimatur to a hodgepodge of who knows what.
It is an empty feeling and one of trepidation for me to learn that our “Students for Life” have been hijacked away from their powerful prayerful presence at the Lincoln Memorial this year to go to Capitol Hill and lobby for passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”. Once they are on Capitol Hill they can never deny that they were for passage of the bill in its entirety. You can’t just lobby for a part of something if it’s the whole that is being voted upon.
From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial (or the grass plot across the street) the problem is solved. The president of Students for Life goes on record in public exposing all that Planned Parenthood is truly up to with federal funds and calls for the defunding of Planned Parenthood. Period. Full stop.
The Lincoln Memorial is our nation’s ‘TEMPLE OF EQUALITY’ from which Students for Life may advocate for the equal humanity of preborn children created in the “Holy Image of God” (The words of President Trump in his final State of the Union speech during his first term of office asking Congress to outlaw partial birth abortion.)?
From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial Students for Life need only point to the words of our nation’s own Declaration of Independence”
“All men are Created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights and among these are the right to LIFE, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…”
Invite President Trump to speak at the Lincoln Memorial (in person or by real time video on a large screen). At the Lincoln Memorial, you take your case over the heads of the Supreme Court, you take it directly to God Himself.
Many devilish pitfalls are lurking for our fresh faced fair students in the halls of Congress (the sausage factory). They are going to offer the girls summer internships. They will go home to tell mom and dad all about it with stars in their eyes and accept summer internships. When the summer is over and they return home the ‘stars’ in their eyes will have turned to “tears” and they will have quite a different story to tell (sexual harassment).
Was the case against slavery made by sending our beautiful young women of the day into the seedy halls of Congress, or was it made from the pulpits of the nation? THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL IS THE ULTIMATE PULPIT!!! The Reverend Martin Luther King understood that.
