LeRoy Carhart is determined to train as many late-term-abortion providers as possibleor the practice just might die with him.....
Leroy Carhart was at his abortion clinic near Omaha when he got the phone call. It was Sunday morning, a little after 10, and the doctor was in surgery. He felt his cell phone vibrate. Carhart ignored it, finishing the abortion before checking his phone. The number for George Tiller's head nurse in Wichita, Kans., flashed on the screen. The timing was unusual; Carhart didn't often hear from Tiller on Sunday mornings. He thought it might have to do with a patient, maybe an emergency. But when Carhart called back, Tiller's nurse was crying. "George is dead," she told him through sobs, relaying the news that Tiller, the late-term-abortion provider, had been fatally shot at his Lutheran church.....

So stopping 5% of abortions is worse than stopping 0% abortions? Anything less than 100% is worse than 0%?
Taking Paris first allows you to take Berlin, trying to take Berlin first only loses the war.
Please explain to me why a partial birth abortion is worse than a first trimester abortion?
Yet another example of why I haven’t bought a Newsweek magazine in over 20 years.
What garbage.
It’s not.
Please explain to me how you intend to convince people that a first trimester abortion is morally unacceptable when you haven’t convinced them that a partial birth abortion is morally unacceptable.
Over the last year we have seen a great migration of people to the Pro Life Cause and those people understand that life begins at conception.

Newsweeks Sarah Kliff, in a January 27, 2009 web-exclusive article entitled Pro-Lifers In Obamaland, failed to mention how several organizations and individuals she labeled as pro-life have friendly relations with pro-abortion Democrats. She also tried to portray the pro-life movement as being split between those who are preparing for the fight of their lives and those who see an opportunity to redefine what it means to be pro-life, with the latter being the organizations sympathetic to the Democrats. Kliff wrote sympathetically of these groups, which are actually trying to muddy the waters of pro-life activism
Kliff began by introducing Sister Sharon Dillon, a 50-year-old former director of the Franciscan Federation who has been a pro-life activist since high school. Sister Dillon doesn’t agree with Roe v. Wade, but shes also frustrated with the kind of single-minded activism she sees around her. What does Sister Dillon see as being single-minded? Apparently, its young girls chanting, hey hey, ho ho, Roe v. Wade has got to go! So Kliff started with the premise that wanting to overturn this Supreme Court ruling is single-minded.

Good. So we should abandon fighting late term abortions why? Seems like we are winning lately, we are moving into Paris and gaining allies along the way.
Many people want to see a record of victories before they shoulder the burden and help with the work. Sad, but very full of truth.
It’s called triage. The most pressing cases need the most urgent attention. And a child so close to birth whose very life is threatened by a barbaric procedure takes the greatest attention.
We apply this methodology in almost any challenging task we want to take.
During WWII, Berlin was our goal, but we didn’t forfeit the war because we couldn’t just appear with sixty divisions at Berlin’s doorstep.
It took focusing on many, many battles that eventually got us to our goal.
In war you have to have a strategy, and there are going to be many battles along the way to victory.
The same is true with Abortion. In order to get to that day without Abortion, it’s going to take winning several battles along the way.
That’s him. What an arrogant, evil, excuse for a human.
The issue is Life and not war.
But if you wish to classify some types of murder of the innocent and worse than others, go right ahead.
In the meantime, I will fight for all life, not just the life you feel is “ so close to birth.”
The hell this isn’t a war. And we are capable of doing more then one thing at a time. We can fight for all life while focusing on the immediate battle in front of us. When an opportunity presents it’s self to roll back the culture of death, no matter how small that victory may be, we are obligated to seize it.
To refuse to save some lives now because it won’t deliver total victory along with it is immoral. But hey to each his own.

A Human Life Amendment would be awesome, but I don’t think it is possible. Better to get people to the point where abortion becomes “unthinkable”. THAT is do-able! The tide is already turning, praise the Lord!
Perhaps because it is the Bible and the associated Judeo-Christian ethic that has been the philosophical underpinning of the West. Some Christians remember that and go direct to the source. Morals don’t occur in a vacuum...they come from somewhere.
Unfortunately, our society/culture is forgetting God anf His Word, the Bible, and, as it does, engaging is legal murder through abortion and euthanasia (physician assisted suicide included). Our government even wants to force those opposed to these murders to pay for them.
