I am a registered Republican, and have been since I could register. I have been a conservative as long as I can remember, and also an American patriot, though my stance on this issue causes quite a few to question all of the above.
Click my homepage, and you'll see why, at times, this pains me.
The fact is, the rhetoric coming from the prolife side consistently crosses all lines of decency and goodwill, and swerves, sometimes violently, into outright hate. The tactics and language used can hardly, at times, be distinguished from that of our sworn enemies, or from the Left.
There are some genuinely concerned and decent people who are prolife, and who genuinely care about children. Bless' em, they'd never THINK of using the stinking and blasphemous language used here, and the tactics used and supported by the fanatics (Shootings, bombings, arsons, oh, and let us not forget the ever-popular gore photos they love to show people and their children) would cause them to recoil.
By the same token, I've yet to meet ANYONE on the prochoice side outside of China who fits their "serial killer"/"butcher"/"hitman" labels. There are actual humans on both sides of this, not that any of the extremists that have hijacked the discussion at the command of their pulpit-pounding con men will ever acknowledge this.
I've met many women who have had abortions. Without exception, they counted it as the most heart-wrenching and saddest time of their lives. They were not evil, by any judgement of mine. They were human beings who had faced a difficult choice, and had done what they could with what they had. I am INCENSED when someone ascribes to them charecteristics best reserved for Serial Killers or Al Qeda members. It is simply not true, and the spirit which drives such vitriol is the same that drove witch-burners, inquisitors, the gestapo, the KGB, and the Terrs of today...a self-righteous, all-consuming absolute CERTAINTY that they are/were so RIGHT, so HOLY, that evil conducted by themselves was GOOD. Being blessed by a god OR by a government makes enjoying a good slaughter or hate-party a whole lot easier.
No matter, it must be opposed, lest it once again fly on bat-wings to the destruction of all.
Watch, now, as the myrmidons emerge and renew their "Holy War".
