Charles Mann and Art Monk were always class acts on the field, and are off the field as well. This may not be a repudiation of Roe v. Wade, but it is another salvo fired in defense of life. Maybe, just maybe, the educational impact of this will get some fence-sitters to come down on the correct side.

Abortion/Washington Redskins/Virginia legislature ping

This is a great tactic - if liberals vote for it, they are acknowledging that the fetus is living and worthy of compassion, which raises the question of why they should be allowed to kill it.

If they vote against it, they are saying that they not only want the baby killed, they want it to suffer horribly.

Former Redskins in defense of life ping! Charles Mann and Art Monk hold news conference in Richmond in support of fetal anesthesia bill. Its called a publicity stunt by the pro-death, excuse me, all together now, pro-choice-of-killing crowd. But, wasn't it a publicity stunt to have celebrities speak out against Vietnam or Iraq, or to have rock stars speak out in favor of enviro-whackism? I guess its only bad when its directed against a woman's "right" to choose...[fill in the blank].

what a stupid world

He [CHarles Mann] and [Art] Monk, a former Redskins wide receiver, were teammates in 1992 when the Redskins won the Super Bowl.

Please note: They were also teammates on the Redskins' 1987 NFL championship squad (ranked No. 4 in points scored and No. 6 in points allowed, and led to a record 35 points in the second quarter of their 42-10 triumph over Denver in Super Bowl XXII by QB Doug Williams, who is still black) and 1983 NFC championship sqaud (which set a then-NFL record by scoring 541 points in a season in which they only lost two regular season games, each on Monday Night Football by one point to Green Bay and Dallas). I realize this is not as important as the issue at hand, but in the interest of accuracy (and bolstering Redskin fans' morale as we head into uncharted waters) I just had to add this. Joe Gibbs, Art Monk, and Charles Mann are living proof that nice guys don't necessarily finish last!

Bennet Greenberg, lobbyist for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, said the news conference was an "obvious publicity stunt."

How hilariously hypocritical--a liberal denouncing celebrities at a news conference as a publicity stunt.

"I am against abortion. I am pro-life. I don't stutter when I say that. I don't bite my tongue," Mann said.

Compare this with President Bush's classic line, "I don't do nuance" and John Kerry's definitive statement that, that...um, he's for, no, he was for the way it was written, but not how it played out, um, but he is for um, um, let's see, oh yeah, homosexual marriage, no, civil unions...

Why is it that people with a faith-based outlook know what they stand for, while others hem-and-haw? I guess that question answers itself.

Abortion and Redskins ping! I know its not your glorious Steelers, but it is an important issue.

Incrementalism can work two ways. Heh heh.
