And I hope you keep fighting. I really do. But I don’t think yelling at people that they’re murderers and Nazi’s and doomed to hell is going to help your cause. All that does is make people MORE defensive...wanting more to stick to their guns and change the subject back to your tactics. You change people’s hearts and minds with love and compassion. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to convey.
I agree with that. Those tactics put up walls that, once up, are impossible to get through. When I said I will "keep fighting", I meant fighting for the rights of the unborn through pro-life organizations and government, not getting out on the street and insulting people. For anything to change, it has to start with people's hearts.
Almost no one on our side does that. In fact, here's what Kevin Rilott is saying to the moms on the other side of the abortion clinic fence in the video:
“Is there anything we can do to help you today? Every abortion takes the life of a child, a human being. Please, please, don’t do this. We’ll help you-we’ll gladly help you. Is there anything you need? Inside you is a little boy or girl who loves you. It is your child. A little child of God. We don’t have to do this to our children.”
Last year, Kevin was beaten at the clinic after saying just that by a man who had brought his wife to the clinic for an abortion. Even though he managed to call 911 while the guy was still hitting him, the police did not arrive for 22 minutes, and did not run their lights and sirens. the suspect was long gone, even though he had taken the time to go into the clinic and speak at length with Wayne Webster.
