THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES
or
The Alito Nomination
by Pastor Matt Trewhella
In the story about the Emperor's new clothes, people from all over the
nation stood around and talked about how wonderful the Emperor's
clothes were, how beautiful the emperor's clothes were, and how
magnificent the Emperor's clothes were even though he was standing in
his underwear.
When it comes to the Alito nomination we have heard pro-life and
Christian leaders from across the nation talk about how wonderful
Alito's nomination is, how beautiful Alito's nomination is, and how
magnificent Alito's nomination is even though the man stands naked with
no pro-life clothing on whatsoever.
Not only has Alito repudiated his pro-life statements from the early
80's as simply being things he said to obtain a job, and not only has
he repeatedly stated that Roe v. Wade is decided law which needs to be
respected, but he has also ruled on actual abortion cases and he has
sided with the pro-abortion side!
In 1995, in the Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center for Women v. Knoll
case, Alito ruled for federal funding of abortion for the poor who say
they were pregnant by rape or incest.
In 2000, in the Planned Parenthood v. Farmer case, Alito ruled to
strike down New Jersey's partial-birth abortion ban.
We do not have to sit around and wonder if Alito will be pro-life, we
already know. He has said it with his mouth that he is pro-abortion
and he has clearly said it with his actions.
When confronted with the facts about Alito, those who support him
usually fall back and hide behind the "then why are all the pro-aborts
attacking him" defense. First off, all the pro-aborts are NOT
attacking him. The pro-abortion ABA has already given him their
highest recommendation and the Democrats have already declared that
they will not filibuster his nomination.
Secondly, the pro-aborts hold their convictions purer than our side
does. They won't speak well of anyone who was nominated by a
Republican and who does not cheer baby-murder on with pom-poms in their
hands.
And finally, many of the pro-aborts want to fill their coffers with
money by simply going through the motions of making Alito out to be an
anti-choice bogeyman so that their minions give, give, give.
Others confronted with the facts want us to simply hold on to the
elusive phantom of hope and trust that the President has done the right
thing in nominating Alito (we were told the same thing about
O'Connor, Souter, and Kennedy). The evidence reveals he has done the
wrong thing.
The facts are Alito will keep the status quo on abortion i.e., more
dead, innocent babies. Meanwhile the pro-life and Christian leaders
will, yet again, betray these helpless ones and continue to reveal
their fealty to a political party rather than to Christ. This charade
has been going on for over 30 years now.

In the story about the Emperor's new clothes, those who did not see the
wonderful, beautiful, magnificent new clothes did not see them because
they were supposedly incompetent and stupid. Let us reveal our
incompetence and stupidity by declaring as the little boy did - "the
man is naked!"
It is incumbent upon all of us to contact our U.S. Senators and tell
them to oppose Alito's nomination. We hope you take time to do so.

Pro-life."
