Oh, Bertha. Bless you for saying that. It's responses like that that keep me going. LOL
I feel very passionate about this matter. And for more than just the right to self determination.
When I think what this has done to the pro life movement and the face of compassionate conservatism, I could weep.
Do you now how many women my age are becoming grandmothers and have seen their daughters sonograms and thought, that IS life. And new technology lets people know that at some age, 12 weeks (?), doctors can clap near the mom's tummy and the unborn baby puts their hands to their ears.
Those women were going to counsel their grandchildren and nieces never to get pregnant unless they wanted a baby.
But now, the pro life movement is seen in a bad light because of Randall Terry and those supporters who are yelling into bullhorns all night disturbing the dying patients, many of whom can hear and respond to stimulation, unlike Terri.
And the face of compassionate conservatives is tied to the movement. And this doesn't look compassionate to me.
And the president can forget getting his judges nominates, imo.
It's set us back 20 years. I'm furious.
I've been accused of being obsessed with this. That is because I could see the train wreck coming...a lot of us could. We tried to staunch the flow but too late.
Don't lose heart. I've seen the ups and downs of this and other good causes. Somehow things always work out. Fortunately or unfortunately, people have short memories. The MSM will move on to the next cause celebre. We will be here to go on with the good fight.
After this is over Randall Terry will craw back in his hole!
If I were a business person I would sell a two headed coin one side Randall Terry and the other side George Felos!
I'm signing off for the night but want to go on record as diagreeing with this. I think the Senate is going to make it happen.
I do.
I understand the reasoning in saying that it won't, but I don't think so. I think the American people can separate out the issues and dems will be too ham-handed.
We'll see.
On that optimisitc note, I'll say good night.
