I did not say that you had accused me. I simply clarified that there were those of us who participated in this effort that did so in a respectful, calm manner. Contrary to how we have been portrayed.

If you would like some sample posts, I would be happy to oblige.

LOL, see that is what I mean. I don’t think I or the other freepers did “blindly” “rush” anywhere or into anything. You, on the other hand do.

Again, would be pleased to provide sample posts.

And this has nothing to do with a woman's life.

Again, it has everything to do with a woman’s life, the fact that you will not or cannot affirm that is a fundamental divergence in our understanding of this matter and the significance of the Freeper involvement.

Had you used the entire quote, I think your response would have had to be quite different.

I have to wonder, once it was apparent that this was an action oriented thread why you persisted.

If you will look back, you will see that after your post to me telling me that I was irritating all you folks, I let it go and went on to other threads. You posted me and requested explanations of my POV. I did not post to you. So in response, I received a number of other posts, to which I responded. Is that unacceptable on your action threads?

I would have said, it’s Wednesday, what the heck are they taking so long with?

And would you then have gone to the judge requesting an emergency hearing, feeling that the doctors were not following the court order, or would you have done like Ken did, prepare a press release leaving out most relevant information, but leaving in just enough to get the activists all cranked up?

I would have said, that’s great that you got that in there, Ken, are they following it, is it more than jello and ice chips? (I know, we could probably scrap all day on this point about the jello and ice chips,(but we wont) that will never be nourishment to me for a lady in that situation.)

So if you were that concerned about Mae's lack of nourishment and you were Ken, would you not then have requested an emergency hearing to file a contempt motion rather than spend your time writing press releases and going on a whirlwind talk show circuit? Seems strange that Ken's concerns over all of these things have failed to lead him to the one and only province that could have brought resolution to his concerns, Judge Boyd's courtroom!

And while you ignored most of my post 2259 to you including my apologies to anyone whom I have offended and proffering my appreciation to the many who are actively working for reforms, I understand. I suppose it's best to paint the other side as completely evil, not just partially so.

This actually is a good stopping point. Did you for once consider that your position could be characterized as ‘self-righteous’?

I agree, it is a good stopping point, and I hope you remember that quote on the self righteous. Because it is those who recoil at the reasonable questions of others because they know they are on a holy crusade who are the true self righteous.

AmericanThinker.com has a new article today titled
THE PRO-DEATH MOVEMENT

[SNIP] The acceptance by society of the killing of unborn babies has had a tremendous impact on the deterioration of our view of the sanctity of life, and this lack of respect for life has not been limited to the unborn. In 1982, a baby known only as "Baby Doe" was born with Down Syndrome in Bloomington, Indiana. In addition to Down Syndrome, Baby Doe was born with a connection between the esophagus and windpipe, which prevented food from reaching the stomach.

A routine operation could have corrected the problem involving the esophagus, but because the baby had Down Syndrome, the parents refused to allow the operation, choosing instead to starve the baby to death, which the Supreme Court of Indiana ruled they had a right to do. Many families offered to adopt the baby; however, the parents refused, and the child died seven days after birth. [END SNIP]
