Its not the laws. Its making a difference in the state of our culture. Do we really want our role models to act like abortion is a wonderful thing to keep around? I was hoping we could change the conversation in this country to encourage protecting the unborn, even if we can't immediately do anything to change the laws. Or are we going to just give up and take the path of easiest resistance? We didn't do that when the issue involved slavery.

No. We went to war. Is that what you want?

Just what sense does it make to have every elective race in the United States, from the Presidency down to town councils, be a confrontation on abortion? To me it doesn't make sense. It's suicidal. It alienates those who would otherwise eventually change their feelings and join us.

Does the fact that a candidate for governor may be "pro-choice" say to you that he would be a total disaster in attempting to govern a state and perhaps bring some other non-liberals along with him?

And just how "pro-choice" is he? You know damned well - or you should know - that if he came out and said that he was pro-life that's the only issue that the citizens of Massachusetts would hear from now until election day. Does that really make sense to you?

I assume that you vote for your mayor/county executive and councilpersons. Do you ask each one of them if they are pro-life? How about the people in your community association?
