I also agree that many people still buy the lies that Dr. Nathanson admitted to fabricating. Some pro-abortion leaders, though, are beginning to change their strategy. They admit abortion kills a human being but still shill for it’s legality. That goes beyond ignorance. It’s evil, pure and simple. These same pro-abortion extremists also brush off the suffering of the women I mentioned above, if they bother to acknowledge them at all. Their stories get in the way of NOW and NARAL’s convenient belief that abortion liberates and empowers women.

Getting pro-lifers elected is a big part of the pro-life movement, but education is just as important. Pro-lifers can learn from the tea party movement. It’s when the people revolt that forces politicians to change positions.

So the fight is still in the streets, one mind/heart at a time. In part it’s working, since abortion rates have been going down since the early 90s, and the majority of people consider themselves pro-life.

Once one comes to the conclusion that unborn life is sacred and worth protecting, it is also difficult for me to comprehend wishy-washy pro-life support.

There is no difference with killing an 8 month old in utero than a 3 month old in utero — abortion is the same barbaric death.

I think that most “pro-choicers” whether Republican or Democrat are misinformed and still buy into the lies that the abortion industry has advocated for 38 years.

It’s not an easy one, but it is our job to show our friends, family and neighbors the destruction that abortion has created for all involved.

We know that abortion hurts women physically, mentally and spiritually. There is no denying that. The more people realize this, the more they will find truth out of confusion.

Apologies for the untimeliness of my response. I would like to say I’m happy about the victory as so many of my friends are (including many for whom life is THE most important issue), but while there are many issues on which I’m willing to compromise, that’s one I’d really have trouble with. If it were a choice between a tax-and-spend pro-lifer or a fiscal conservative who supports abortion on demand, the former would get my vote in a second. That said, I can’t dismiss this result out of hand because of the support he has received from single-issue pro-life organizations who claim he’s less pro-abortion than his opponent was. I’ve written to 3 such organizations asking about this, but have not yet received any response, most likely because they’ve been busy with yesterday’s March in DC(which I hope was a HUGE success) and related activities around the country. In the meantime, maybe you (or one of your readers) could clear some things up for me: Specifically, is he against ALL funding of elective abortion, or only that proposed in the healthcare bills currently being debated? For instance, would he vote to uphold the Hyde Amendment and the ban on abortions on military bases?

I saw on his website that he supports “some restrictions,” but is (perhaps deliberately) vague on what they are. The website said he supports requiring “parental consent and notification”, but the “and” confuses me because I have yet to figure out how a parent can give consent without being notified. I hope he means he would allow a parent not only to be notified but to VETO an abortion, and the father of the baby as well while we’re at it.

Has he said how he would vote on issues like FOCA and confirmation of an anti-Roe judge? He did say he believes states should be able to make their own law regarding same-sex marriage; the least he can do is apply that to abortion as well.

Finally, he has said he is against “partial-birth abortion.” That’s all well and good, but I’m not sure why anyone would find dismemberment – a far slower and therefore more painful death – any LESS barbaric. If I had to choose the method of my own demise, I’d probably take a relatively quick (albeit agonizing) stab in the head over being pulled apart limb-by-limb or burned to death with saline. Anyway, the latter is really a general question that’s been on my mind long before I ever heard the name Scott Brown. If there’s anyone reading this blog who supports banning partial-birth but not other types of abortion, I’d be curious to know your reasons.

Raquel, I hope we can work on this guy, and that as soon as a life-related vote comes before him (Obamacare notwithstanding), I’ll be as happy about his victory as my friends are.

Take care,
Paula

But in this instance, pro-lifers were more concerned with stopping the healthcare “reform” legislation — because if passed it would be a huge defeat for life.

Sometimes its the lessor of two evils that wins.

Passing this bill will put the Dems on the wrong side of the people for many years to come.

The measure will ultimately be repealed, either by Congressional support next year, or by a US Supreme Court decision that finds the bill unconstitutional.

The Dems have dug their graves so deep, there’s no getting out.
