Jesse Jackson today: Abortion is just fine and dandy, but the possible repeal of "Obamacare" is "creeping genocide".
Jackson, however, converted to the culture of death in the 1980s and has been a staunch "pro-choicer" ever since, saying at one time, "Women must have freedom of choice over what to do over their bodies.'' He would do well to consider the words of a once-influential and pro-life African-American pastor:

There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of higher order than the right to life. I do not share that view. I believe that life is not private, but rather it is public and universal. If one accepts the position that life is private, and therefore you have the right to do with it as you please, one must also accept the conclusion of that logic. That was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside of your right to concerned. ...
Everyone can come to the mercy seat and find forgiveness and acceptance. But, and this may be the essence of my argument, suppose one is so hard-hearted and so in-different to life until he assumes that there is nothing for which to be forgiven. What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person, and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually?

That, of course, is from Jackson himself, from his essay, "How we respect life is the over-riding moral issue", published by Right to Life News in January 1977. "For what does it profit a man," asked Jesus, "to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" If Jesse Jackson thinks that killing a health bill is far worse than killing a baby, he is not only in danger of losing his soul, he's already lost his mind.
