ping!

[bayourod]

And what are you going to do about it, Ann?

[NorCalRepub]

haha......if someone uses that approach on me I"ll just do the opposite......persuassion in this case and enlightened information is the best way to shape the young minds that have not decided yet

[NorCalRepub]

maybe for those that are die hards but there are many young people and adults on the fence that still can be persuaded toward the right

Well the whole thing with abortion is liberals treat it like it`s some sort of common thing for women to do, like getting a cyst removed, or a botox injection like Teresa Heinz, and it`s time to stop treating abortion like that. I mean if a woman wanted to cut her leg off, how many doctors would do that? Practically zero, yet here we are talking about a life and it`s "oh no problem". I mean here I tried to get Hitlery surgically removed as Senator from my state of New york and every Doctor I talked to said that`s impossible, she is dug in like a big mac in Michael Moores fat mouth.

Personally I don't think Roe V Wade will ever be overturned and the only way will be to change people hearts and minds.
We need;
contraceptive education and availability - abstinance only education is NOT working.
a program (either federal but hopefully private) that will pay all pre and post natal care for mother and child for adoptive situations, many women (especially the young) get abortions because they think can not afford in $$ what a pregnancy costs (sad but true)

He wasn't there. He called in on the phone even though the rally was right in front of his house.

The President has never attended. Reagan and Bush 41 always called in as well.

[goodnesswins]

And, YOU signed up TOMORROW just to say all that.....

Ann missed the point on that part of the need to change hearts.

Each and every major social problem we have in this country is caused by sin.

Each behavioral problem, that is.

Whether it is premarital sex, teenage sex, people cheating on each other, the rise of pornography, the language on television and movies, it all comes down to attitudes about what is right and what is wrong.

To change those moral ills, the presence of a good judge will mean nothing if the populace is immoral.

Abortion is not about killing babies, even though it is killing babies.

Abortion is about covering up the sin of those who sleep together outside of marriage.

If you stop the sleeping around before marriage of teen age girls/boys and the same for the 20's men/women, then you eliminate the abortion industry as any profitable entity.

Eliminating premarital sex eliminates sex ed, eliminates the worries of parents about their kids having sex and getting pregnant.

The changing of hearts and minds also applies to the gay marriage thing. In fact, we need to change hearts and minds to homosexuality, period!

Homosexuality is wrong, regardless of who it is about and what they say in private or public or whether they are Bush supporters or not.

What Ann missed here totally by focusing her article around the statement: "Actually, what we need least of all is to "change hearts. Maybe it's my law background, but I think it's time we changed a few judges." ; is this is a battle completely about right and wrong, not about placing 'good' people in power.

If there aren't "good people" to be governed, then "good Governors" are meaningless.

Now, I am not saying that we dont need good men in office. Noah Webster said it best:

When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, "just men who will rule in the fear of God." The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be sqandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.

Noah Webster, History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), pp. 336-337, ¦49.

However, our founding Fathers had also said that the importance of the morality of the nation is not the responsibility of the Governors, but of the Governed::

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them; and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men than men upon governments. Let men be good and the government cannot be bad. . . . But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn. . . .[T]hough good laws do well, good men do better; for good laws may want [lack] good men and be abolished or invaded by ill men; but good men will never want good laws nor suffer [allow] ill ones.

William Penn quoted from: Thomas Clarkson, Memoirs of the Private and Public Life of William Penn (London: Richard Taylor and Co., 1813) Vol. I, p.303.





Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature. . . . [I]f the next centennial does not find us a great nation . . . it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.

James Garfield, "A Century of Congress" published in Atlantic, July 1877.

I suppose she has a plan for removing the judges and replacing them with judges that agree with pro life.

[OldFriend]

The President was at Camp David when he called in to support the March for Life folks.

I don't think the secret service was up for another round of security issues following the inauguration.

Or should the president simply have walked out and mingled with the crowd.

[NorCalRepub]

have no idea.........I generally agree with her positions but not always her methods. She is a good attack dog but does not at times have good reasoned arguments that don't rely mostly on invective or cut downs......

Smoking is an easier target.

"That "speech" he made for the pro-life rally was not even a speech. He wasn't there. He called in on the phone even though the rally was right in front of his house."

Here, "inside the Beltway" that is known as "distancing" oneself. After all, they aren't useful any longer.

I'll take Annie's truth over W's any day. It's getting so
dicey that I am beginning to think that all the "born agains" who voted for him need to pray daily for God to hold his feet to the fire with regard to what he claimed to support during the election rhetoric and lay a "Mizpah" against the whole business. (Mizpah=God watch between thee and me)

God bless that woman. I'd vote for Ann over the W's any day.

[OldFriend]

She has no viable solutions.
