Nowhere is the contrast starker than California, where pro-life Republican, Carly Fiorina, is set to challenge the pro-death  Democratic incumbent, Senator Barbara Boxer.

Though the dominant media will never dare concede it, the coming November 2010 election could be about much more than the Republicans taking back Congress; indeed, this vital election could produce the “year of the pro-life woman.” Such is the assertion of Marjorie Dannenfelser, head of the excellent pro-life group, Susan B. Anthony List. Dannenfelser points to some major electoral showdowns pitting solidly pro-life Republican women against rabidly “pro-choice” Democratic incumbents. And if these pro-life women win, it may ultimately become the year of the unborn child.

Nowhere is the contrast starker than California, where pro-life Republican, Carly Fiorina, is set to challenge the Democratic incumbent, Senator Barbara Boxer.

To put it bluntly, Senator Boxer is fanatical on the abortion issue. Some day, when a more civilized America (hopefully) looks back in horror at the shameful abortion extremism of this era, perhaps similar to how we today shake our heads in disbelief over Dred Scott and Jim Crow, Barbara Boxer will be one of those names recognized for the moral ignominy of their position. Historians may well lead their accounts with an unforgettable episode from October 20, 1999, when Boxer squared off with her Senate colleague, Pennsylvania Republican Rick Santorum.

At issue was a form of legal infanticide technically known as “partial-birth abortion.” In this “procedure,” the unborn child is only partially delivered from his or her mother. Enough of the body is left inside the mother to ensure the child is not fully delivered, so a surgical instrument can be rammed inside the base of the skull, allowing the contents of the brain to be methodically sucked out. The procedure is so grim that the New York Times wouldn’t run an ad representing it in mere cartoon form, the better to continue to shield the ugly truth from its progressive readership.
