Have you ever seen the Associated Press style book? It won't let journalists use the word "pro-life" when refering to pro-lifers. They must use "anti-abortion." Fair enough. But then will they call the other side "pro-abortion"? Not on your life. The AP stylebook insists reporters use "pro-choice." And they must always refer to abortion as "abortion rights." If a reporter veers from the code book, copy editors must correct it to the AP Style.

Yes, they've written the required bias right into their stylebook. And the MSM continues to wonder why they lose readers and viewers.

I'm convinced that if this battle for life is won by pro-lifers that we will once again be blessed and America will return to normalcy as God showers His grace upon us again. The Democrats will be utterly defeated because abortion has been their pillar and foundation since Roe v Wade.

Abortion rights have spurred other feminist "rights" to a point where fatherhood is all but meaningless and the family is severely weakened. These attacks on men and the family amount to legalized madness, and have allowed other insane movements, (like the homo 'marriage' rights) to take root.

How nice it would be to wake up in an America where right is right, wrong is wrong and evil is evil. I believe all the insanity and perversion that has taken hold of our country is due to God taking away His grace from us. Making abortion illegal again is a battle that must be won.

abortion is doomed, and there is a good chance that Bill Clinton will be the last pro abortion President.

add that to his legacy!

Me thinks that it won't be too much longer before "We the People" are looking back on pro choicers with the same disgust that we look back on pro slavers.

Oh how I wish this were true.

I feel hopeful things are changing. And like the article says, a lot has to do with new technology.

Dear God!! We are losing! People aren't wanting to kill their unborn children as often as they used to!

We have to take action immediately!! Let's get out the fundraisers, propaganda, pamphlets, whatever it takes. We have got to convince women it's their obligation to take part in the RIGHT to kill their children they didn't prevent.

This is so damn stupid. I thought abortion was a necessary evil, something that was last resort. Why do people need to be CONVINCED they should do this?

I think you're right. Time is definitely on our sides. Many generations from now people will look back at pro-abortionists with disgust. A real shame that it will take so long and so many innocent lives for that to happen.

I saw a still shot of one of those 4 dimensional sonagrams several months ago, amazing detail, and remembered back to our son's 22 years ago. Looked like weather radar. May as well have been Hurricane James. Look Ma there's the eye.

Surgeons operate on babies in the womb. Incredible stuff. And so it goes.

The pro-abort folks are losing the battle with science, not with the right to life groups. So much more is known. So much more can be seen. We didn't worry about what we couldn't see. Now like Thomas we see. And we believe.

Assuming Roe v Wade is overturned and assuming all red states then outlaw abortion, does anyone think any of the blue states will also outlaw abortion, or will all blue states promptly offer abortions?

I wish that were true but in reality the blue states have more going against them than just abortion.

Everyone one of these threads should have a find and replace of 'abortion rights' with 'murder rights for mothers'.

I think this is exactly correct. Half of His Grace is better than none. Most probably, all red states will outlaw this murder, and I can only hope that a few blue states will also, or at the very least begin to heap restrictions and conditions on it. In any event, this "practice" will be fatally crippled for all intents and purposes.

I haven't felt this good in years.

Look on the face of evil.
