Your whole argument falls apart with one vial of VX gas. There is no pro-life movement without the living. Period.

Tell me - how many would be killed in such an attack? Five thousand?

Now how many childred are aborted every day in the US? About three thousand.

So in the time this thread has been up, the number of abortions is equivalent to the fatalities from a chemical attack on the US.

So much for the pro-life argument falling part in the face of terrorism. There are plenty of GOP candidates who are solid on both issues.

How far can you change America before she’s no longer America?

For some, the distance is shorter than the other.

One of the guys who helped there be an America once said:

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
-Patrick Henry

Another said:
“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our country men.”

Samuel Adams

And another:
“They that would give up essential liberty for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Ben Franklin

All of those guys were facing really high stakes, much higher in actual risk than we do on a day-to-day basis. It wasn’t an intellectual game or a maybe, but a good chance at a hanging.

But they gave us something precious.

Not every person feels that pull. You have to go with your own ability to stand up for it. But understand, America as founded means more to a lot of us than protection against the potential attack of the jihadis. It means a dream of liberty and life, and if we compromise that too far, we will no longer be America. We will be America’s ghost.

There is no posterity for 50 million dead babies....American children who have been brutally butchered by the empowerment of people exactly like YOU.

The disregard shown for innocent human life by NARAL lovers like you and Rooty is of the exact same spirit as the one that drives the Islamofascists.
