At one time or another, all of us have fallen for a lie that we wanted to believe. Have you heard that nine out of ten babies with Down syndrome are aborted?

Thank you all. I am deeply touched by the honor you are conferring on me tonight, but I am truly undeserving and I say that sincerely. On a few occasions I have been in a position to speak out against the abomination of abortion, but so many others have done so much more to champion the pro-life cause over the almost four decades that have passed since Roe v. Wade. To cite just one example, consider the members of the remarkable McFadden family.

“No issue in U.S. history has produced such an impressive and sustained outpouring of citizens protesting a single evil (in both numbers and timespan, for instance, it dwarfs the media-favored anti-war demonstrations of yesteryear),” wrote James P. McFadden in the January 16, 1981, issue of his feisty pro-life newsletter Lifeletter.
