You miss my point dirtboy.
As I have often explained to Evelyn, I do not believe the abortion battle will be won in the courts or in the public policy arena. I have been there and I have marched up Capitol Hill.
But I believe that I will be more effective sending my cash and volunteering my time to the local crisis pregnancy center or working with our ministry to homeless, unwed moms.
We will NEVER end abortion by screaming at one another. It's just not going to happen.
So you and Evelyn can ride your high horse all over FR.
For all your caterwauling, you haven't changed a damn thing.
Right. Now you think it "will be won" by electing a darling of NARAL who thinks Margaret Sanger is a hero.
Sorry, but overturning Roe is critical. And Rudy has abused his mayoral bully pulpit to push abortion rights. That's wrong.
Actually, Corin, you're wrong. They have changed alot of things. They have succeeded at making FR a shrill, angry, and unwelcoming website where people are intimidated into not posting and, frankly, leaving. Jim will feel it at the next Freepathon, and after almost nine years here....that's a pretty huge change and a pretty sad state of affairs.
We certainly have to win the hearts and minds of the people to end abortion.
How is that helped when the "pro-life" party picks a president who thinks abortion is fine, that there is nothing wrong with killing the unborn?
How do we convince people to abandon abortion when the president talks about protecting it and supporting it?
How do we argue the abomination of partial birth abortion if we pick a President who can forcefully argue (as Rudy can argue anything, he's very persuasive) that a women's right to her health is much more important than worrying about tearing a baby apart or sucking their brains out?
I can find my way to support Rudy, but he's hardly the best choice if you think we have to win people's hearts and minds.
And that's even if you believe that Rudy will pick someone for the supreme court that will remove the Roe-V-Wade barrier to us stopping abortion. Which I'm not convinced about yet, because I could see a judge who is "like" Roberts or Alito who wouldn't overturn that "precedent", and I'm certain Rudy would have no problem picking judges who personally support abortion, meaning they will be WRONG-HEADED in their personal views and thinking, and thier reasoning suspect.
Heck, doesn't the fact that Rudy finds it so easy to support abortion make you question for an instant his sanity, reasoning, and character? I can put it aside, but how can you be so enthusiastic about it?
Super post...
