PROVIDENCE, RI -- Governor Carcieri made an unscheduled appearance at an anti-abortion rally in the State House rotunda this afternoon.

"Let me encourage everything you're doing. Don't give up. Don't give up," Carcieri told the cheering crowd of more than 100, which included several young children.

"You're on the right side of this issue, you know that. There's no debate on this issue," he continued. "It's pretty clear to me. It's pretty clear to anybody who thinks about it very long."

Carcieri said he was concerned about "what's happening in Washington," an apparent reference to President Obama's recent decision to overturn a controversial ban on U.S. support to international aid groups that provide abortion services around the world.

The governor, who apologized that his wife, Sue, couldn't attend the rally, said he hoped the move isn't indicative of the president's policies for the next four years.

The rowdy crowd cheered passionately during the governor's brief unscripted remarks. Several people waved signs, including one that read "'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.' -God"

Carcieri had left by the time the rally ended with a group prayer.

Men cannot become pregnant, therefore, they should not even be involved with this issue. For women, I say that with technology today, why couldn't an unwanted fetus be transplanted into another woman who can carry the fetus to term? That would be great for both sides of the issue! This way, all those "do-gooder" women opposing abortion, can be heartily pregnant carrying those unwanted fetuses to term and then giving birth and raising them to adulthood. No matter what color the child may be or if the child would be disabled, the woman and her Godly family can raise the child. Men, on the other hand, could adopt these unwanted fetuses and test-tube them to term. Great what technology could do if it was tried out. Then it would end this issue altogether and all those Godly folks out there could have a whole load of unwanted children to raise and care for and stay off picket lines! Now that would really be saving a life! Why Carcieri has all that money, imagine all the unwanted kids he could raise! There's a few out there that have already been born. What do you say Mr. Governor? Start adopting them and getting them out of foster homes and prove your not a hypocrite.



per ProJo report Governor Carcieri made an unscheduled appearance at an anti-abortion rally in the State House rotunda this afternoon.

Congratulations Governor Don Carcieri for Speaking out, for both you and your wife Sue on this issues. We already know that your wife Sue has the big picture correctly defined on this critical issue. Moreover as well acknowledging and totally agree with you that that Mr Obama the Usurper POTUS is on the wrong side of the tracks on this fundamental "core value" issues at the very foundation of our country. I might add along with his evil House of Reps partner in this crime Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We must united before they drive our country into the very evil Nation Socialism from which their is no return. We mist all work to protect and defend the constitution of our Country. Yes, a Constitutional Republic with a representative democracy under The Rule of Law.

Oh those apparently outraged woman that think a man has no standing or does not even have the right to an opinion on this very fundamental issues at the foundation of our society - I say to you shame. Perhaps these are the very same woman that were so emotionally outraged with the Republican Candidate for Vice President of the United States Alaska Governor Sarah Palin? Yes, pseudo socialist elitist liberal left me first and the heck with God and Country self serving instant gratification generations. We disagree with you and will pray for your enlightenment and salvation.

Again Governor Don Carceroi thanks for standing in for your wife Sue and getting out in front of this very important core value issue bringing it to the attention of all RI Citizens.

Last, we appreciate your continued efforts in reforming The State of Rhode Island and pulling it back from the brink of self destruction. The national economy situation cause by a confluence of events including first the J Carter noble experiment of poorly exactitude loans to the poor and Bill Clinton midwifing the removal of the 1933 laws designed to mitigate another great depression coupled to today our congress deregulating and lack of maintaining a rigorous oversight of the finical industry. Today correcting this outrage still challenges all of us individually and collectively. Yes, and a challenge for both our state and Federal governments.

I suggest that during this period of hard choices for all of us that you as still our elected Governor of The State of Rhode Island continue FULL SPEED AHEAD with the remaining reform of Rhode Island Government and addressing the damage resulting from the 70 years of pseudo socialist liberal left unhealthy multi generations interdependent client provider polices that got us into this mess. Even if RI receives funding from the Feds PLEASE do not use such to keep funding above prevailing market rates outrageous salaries benefits and pensions for State government employees or unaffordable and over national prevailing market rate teachers salaries benefits and pensions. Please stay on target for state wide reform & consolidation of services and the return to honest and open government that you have as well championed.
We thank both Don and Sue Carcieri for their continued service to The State of Rhode Island.

I thank God for courageous leaders like Gov Carcieri, who boldly stand for LIFE & advocate for those who have no voice. He, and many other elected officials in RI, understand the big picture and the heart of Him, who is our Creator.
Our Gov. is right, God has spoken clearly on this subject, there is no debate needed.
Prov 6 "things that are detestable to the Lord...one is hands that shed innocent blood"
Prov 31 "speak for them who cannot speak for themselves...speak up and defend their rights..."
Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying this, "I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right.But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."
Lincoln understood that there is a reckoning for life blood shed in such a manner. He would have been intensely grieved with abortion in our land.
May God have mercy upon America.
