Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about re. any alleged "ego boosts" some pro-Lifers feel upon hearing news that helpless innocents are being denied water and food by court order.
For folks with any good sense of morality, outrage against such evil actions are to be expected. Indeed, it would be extremely frightening if we *weren't* outraged.
..outrage *is* to be expected..
That's why I said SOME. I have read nasty, vile stuff about anyone who doesn't fit SOME people's definition of pro-life (not this thread per se, many Schiavo ones and such). I am saddened that it seems to be okay to hate if LIFE is involved. Some invoke the word and stiffle any discussion and I think there is ego gratification involved.
I know many have pure beliefs and ambitions, hence the SOME.
