And our leaders aren't doing a good job discussing this issue.

That's for sure.

I think they are frightened.

Frightened b/c they never should have touched it.

It was the third rail.

It's a big issue.

Much too big. That' why they dropped it like a hot tator.

You know what my concern is about all this? That the pro life movement, which is a just movement, was making wonderful strides among moderates and even some democrats. I could see positions softening with the few democrats I know.

They are getting older, their daughters are having children and they are seeing the ultrasounds, etc. and the new technology that permitted these previous pro choice women to see the unborn in a way they never did before.

We have all read articles about how the those little babies put their hands over their ears when a loud noise is made. I've forgotten what week that happens in but I think the studies have said as early as 12 weeks.

When pro life movements call me for money, they are the nicest people and I've told them that I've thought they should play up the technology and studies that I just mentioned; that it's having an impact and they've agreed.

But the face of Randall Terry and the others outside a Hospice, where people are dying, and yelling into that bullhorn and spouting his hate filled rhetoric and stirring up the crowd...that is not the face of compassionate conservatism, pro life or Christianity that we want out there.

Regardless of how people feel about the Terri situation, there are other people to consider here. Like those people who are spending their last days on earth listening to bullhorns and people screaming the worst sort of things at our policemen. They are calling our policemen Nazis!

And the unborn will be affected too because I think this has set the movement back 20 years. And so how many babies won't have a chance at life because Randall Terri exploited the Schindlers and this entire situation for his own quest for power.

I have been so grieved that the other considerations have been taken into account and I'd personally like to tear his eyelashes out one by one.
