Don't you dare say I don't value human life. I have lost a child and you know it.

I value human life more than any of you santimonious armchair "Christians" do.

[The Old Hoosier]

I didn't know that about you, and I'm very sorry to hear it happened. But I don't respect life any less than you do. Don't start judging me.

I think Lott's folks are out there starting these attacks to scare conservatives away from Frist and further divide the party even more than Lott has already managed. Does Frist share all my beliefs - I'm sure not. Do I think he'll take a more pro-life agenda than the Dems would and get what he can through the Senate with Bush's help? Yes. The first legislative hurdle pro-life is PBA - I believe the Senate will eventually pass that with frist or any other GOP guy and bush will sign it. He certainly won't stop it - the issue polls well anyway and passed before except for a Clinton veto. As to the more controversial aspects of abortion, that will have to come through the courts anyway in time and Frist won't be blocking conservative judges. To summarize, he'll do at least as good as Lott, probably better, at passing what can be passed, and he won't be a reckless, weak idiot to boot. Frist isn't "my guy", but I have no problem if he gets ML.

I'll pray that you become more enlightened as to the value of innocent human life.

If you have lost a child, and still believe in abortion you really need prayer. Have you also had an abortion? My experience has been that many who defend abortion are many times women who are dealing with the guilt of having one. How could a woman carry a baby inside her, and think its not worthy of LIFE? I have also lost 3 babies, and have had 3. My first with no father around. People begged me to abort him. Life was not easy. It was very inconvenient. My reputation was ruined. Was my life more important then his? That fatherless child has 4 of his own now, one born yesterday. I can't imagine life without that child, or his children.

Don't you dare say I don't value human life. I have lost a child and you know it.

Everyone knows it.

Quit pulling out your personal sorrow as trump card.

Your grief at the loss of your son bears no relation whatsoever to your respect for the "law of the land" that is legal abortion and your perpetual haranging of pro-lifers.

Ours is not some self-interested regard for ourselves or individuals that are known, loved and WANTED by us and whose lives necessarily enrich our own in some personal fashion.

We fight for the unborn, the unwanted, the imperfect, the unconscious and the dying as if -- indeed -- all men were created equal and possessed of human dignity from the moment of conception to natural death.

By supporting a pro-abortionist? No way.
