Band of Angels
Congratulations to Jeff Geerling for all the great press he's been getting for the PROLIFE wristband he and his sister created, which is sold for $1 to benefit pro-life nonprofits. The last I heard, the first batch of 10,000 wristbands had just about sold out, and a second batch was on the way.
Interestingly, no sooner did the Geerling siblings come up with the PROLIFE wristband, than Moloch came up with one of his own. It's violent—I mean, violet—made by the Ben & Jerry's-funded group Working for Change, and benefits the usual suspects—Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the ACLU.
Ironically, for the wristbands' slogan, Working for Change chose "NEVER SURRENDER"—the words most famously spoken by Winston Churchill in his 1940 speech before the House of Commons. In that speech, Churchill held out the solid hope that America would use its force to rescue Europe from the clutches of the Nazis, a group which forced abortions on "undesirable" ethnic groups. The Nazis' eugenic actions were watched closely, chronicled, and encouraged by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, who in 1939 embarked upon her own plan for cutting down an "undesirable" ethnic population.
At any rate, coming from Planned Parenthood, NARAL, et al, I would take the "NEVER SURRENDER" slogan with a grain of salt. After all, when it came to toppling Saddam, they were all on the side of the cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
