This is posted because there seems to be confusion about the Court's ruling and the open letter.

I don’t get it - does Dobson now advocate partial birth abortion?

[ChocChipCookie]

This letter seems incoherent, and since when has James Dobson failed to stand up for pro-life legislation?

The Supreme Court of the Universe will ultimately rule against the wicked murderous schemes of all baby killers.

[Dr. Thorne]

Nice work, Colorado "Self-Righteous"-to-Life. The Idiot Left and the Baby-Killers just love it when Christians attack each other because every action or position by another Christian doesn't meet the "I'm As Perfect As Jesus And You're Not" smell test.

This backbencher has not accomplished a tiny fraction of what James Dobson has. How frequently we hear the mewlings of his type against his betters. Everyone with a brain knows that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban is just the beginning... the chink in the armor that will be an inestimable help to those who truly seek the end of abortion, not just to see their names in the paper.

[Cicero]

Another case where pursuit of the perfect overcomes the good.

The ideal would be to reverse Roe v. Wade and make all abortions illegal again. But how does Colorado Right to Life think that can be accomplished? Have they succeeded in outlawing all abortions in Colorado? I don’t think so.

Obviously we need to work toward the goal of no legal abortions. But we need to do it in ways that are politically and realistically possible. Outlawing partial birth abortion is a step along the way. Far from excusing other abortions, it is a small step toward ending them. Otherwise NARAL, NOW, and Planned Parenthood wouldn’t be screaming over the recent decision.

In an ideal world we would have reversed Roe v. Wade the minute it was passed. That didn’t happen, and 40 million babies have died. All we can do is to move forward in the best way possible, and the partial birth abortion ban, like the infant born alive protection bill, is a step in the right direction.

I understand their distress. Every day that abortion remains legal, thousands more babies are murdered. And this goes on year after year. But we can only do what is possible to do, and this kind of unthinking nonsense doesn’t help. Turn the anger on those who deserve it: the abortionists and their enablers.

Rohrbough needs to learn how to write in coherent English, instead of getting his panties wet over an issue he has failed to fully grasp.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

It may be that the author of this article went privately to the groups first with his concerns. Whatever the case, the groups that are publicly rebuked in the article as:

---

“Groups Celebrating this Evil Ruling”

---

are mostly groups that have gained my trust by consistent long-time advocacy of moral absolutes. Even so, they are fallible and can be deceived, just like any other human.

Meanwhile, it is likely that the abortionist lobby/providers of the multi-millions of dollars spent in South Dakota last year on this issue may also support some divide-and-conquer efforts elsewhere.

It is possible that a spirit of deception or a spirit of divisiveness is at work to hinder God’s work and I pray against that, in Jesus’ Name.

I disagree with their tactics of addressing Dobson rather than just addressing the ruling. Why couldn’t they just make the statement about the ruling itself? Now the news stories are all about the conflict rather than the substance of the abortion issue. They know Dobson’s heart on the issue. They would have been wise to not make this about him.

[MEGoody]

These nut jobs could have actually saved babies by spending the money they spent on these ads in purchasing an ultrasound machine for a crisis pregnancy center. Instead, they chose to launch a personal attack on a pro-life ally.

They should be ashamed.

[xzins]

It’s obvious that Dobson rejects all abortion, therefore, his support of the partial birth abortion ruling must be tempered with knowledge that he rejects all abortion.

To applaud ridding the nation of one evil procedure does not mean that one is unaware that other evil procedures still exist. But, each small, won battle in an ongoing war is still a victory, and it should be applauded.

Good leadership demands that one acknowledges progress.

Any crack in the dam is to be celebrated. This public attack is crazy. Instead of publicly tearing into someone who is on their side, how about banding together to make a ‘documentary’ - they seem to be very popular these days. As someone suggested, one utrasound machine would make a big difference. How about getting the laws enforced. Texas already had a ban on PBA because of how state law is written - however, from what I hear, it is not enforced. How about the problems in KS - why not apply some muscle there to get the corruption out of their government? I can’t believe HLI attacked him on this - of all things. They should have known that it would be twisted, gloatingly by the media. As someone said, attack the ruling or the actual law itself. Attack where it really matters - the abortionists and their cronies. The family is the key.
