Amen

For days I've been asking how standing up for Terri, for life, is hurting the pro life movement. I've yet to get an answer except the usual snipes about Randall Terry.

I'm Catholic, also. The denial of Holy communion for Terri on Easter provoked a huge outcry. And that decision was changed, quickly.

I see nothing but good for the pro lifers by standing up for Terri. Maybe that will be her legacy...Bless her

I wouldn't mind an answer to that myself. Terry may be grandstanding, but well intentioned in this particular case. Driven by his emotions. That is a far cry from saying a starving woman has never looked more peaceful. More beautiful. Anyone really want to go down that road? Cause I guarentee Felos will trump Terry in measure of disgust any day of the week.

If folks are going to state the pro-Life movement is irreparably harmed for a generation, put up concrete fact or clarify it is opinion. Presenting it as fact doesn't make it so.

I've also come to conclusion too many people have decided polls are the final authority. I have a question for everyone. If Congress used their constitutional authority to overturn R v W, what does everyone think the opinion of the public would be? Favorable? After all, supposedly the majority is more against abortion than for.

I think everyone that is honest knows the answer. The public polls would be similiar to the polls about Terri. Why? Because people have ceded their rights to the Courts AND because rather than winning the pro-Life war, in reality we've salved our conscience with meaningless polls stating we are near to winning the war.

Well I, for one, prefer to trade polling opinion for actual progress. If this means some heartbreaking setbacks, so be it. This is a culteral war and you don't win every battle. You certainly don't win it by pretending victory has been gained while the enemy sneaks up behind you.

Jrabbit, a few people are desperately trying to make this about Randall Terry Randall Terry Randall Terry, bla bla bla, bla bla bla.

It's a shell game and it's transparent and shallow in and of itself, as well as are the very dubious, peripherally unrelated "issues" in which they then try to shoehorn in.

They're "skating the boards" on their own volition, and in purposeful intent to aviod THE PUCK.
