(Absolutely nothing is more gripping, and honest, than a repentant post-abortive woman, IMO.)

And sad.

Outside of the Judie Browns and Phyllis Schlafleys, however, we don't have a lot of women in leadership or highly visible roles who are pro-life and who can take on the she-wolves of the pro-abort movement.

In fact, the First Lady's of the past 3 (perhaps 5) administrations have been solidly pro-abort.

While I undertand the Packaging and Appeal factors, the fact is that until we grant men a say and encourage men to speak out, Abortion will continue to be perceived as a "Women's Issue" on which the men defer to the women.

What we need more than anything is men talking to men who -- on an individual basis, man to woman, father to child -- will actually step in and save lives by taking responsibility for those lives.

Bingo. And, as long as the media stays on the pro-abort side, it benefits the 'Craps to lock out the males from the debate.

Men will never be "granted" a say.

Then that should be our focus. Finding eloquent and patiently convincing women, or complementary she-wolves, and not trying to push men as the Salesperson. Maybe Coulter? Or you? (They did say that appearance is 55% of the argument, after all.)
