The balance between pro-choice women and women who say abortion should be outlawed or severely restricted is shifting toward the pro-life side, bumping that group into the majority in the debate over reproductive rights, according to a new national poll.

I didn't find this posted, and was sort of surprised by that. If this was already posted, my apologies.

Ever since I heard of this new technology, I've maintained that it is the Stealth Bomber that is going to zoom in under the pro-death crowd's radar and nuke them... once a woman sees what is really in her womb, it ceases to be a "tissue mass" and becomes... a baby. Her baby.
Silent Scream made an impact on those few who saw it.
Fetal Psychology wasn't even a blip.

This has been evident for some time. The intellectual establishment and leaders of opinion overwhelmingly favor abortion. The average person, even after 30 years of pro-abortion propaganda, disagrees.

I wish the Republicans would start undertanding this. They are missing the chance of speaking more openly on life issues. The party is generally pro-life, while the Democrats are pro-abortion; but there's a big difference in the way they address the matter. Democrats scream their views at the top of their lungs; most Republicans try to keep them as quiet as possible, with a few honorable exceptions.

Republicans would do very well if they spoke more openly. Among other things, they could destroy the Democrats' argument that they are the moral party, the party of the underdog, while the Republicans are only selfish money-grubbers. Just the opposite is plainly true. The Democrats are the party of immorality, corruption, and selfishness, and nothing makes the point better than their eagerness to kill babies in order to improve their "lifestyles."

Dear Cicero,

"This has been evident for some time. The intellectual establishment and leaders of opinion overwhelmingly favor abortion. The average person, even after 30 years of pro-abortion propaganda, disagrees."

As this study, commissed by the pro-death crowd, shows, not only has 30 years of propaganda not succeeded in minimizing those who stand for life, BUT THE WELL-FINANCED PRO-DEATH PROPAGANDISTS ARE LOSING GROUND!

Fr. Richard Neuhaus, the editor of First Things, has said that the pro-life movement is about the future, and the pro-death crowd is about the past. As pointed out in one of the articles linked by backhoe, when women see their unborn children in utero, it becomes nearly impossible to procure their death.

As this technology becomes increasingly commonplace, the pro-death crowd will find it increasingly difficult to defend its endorsement of in utero baby-killing.

I think one of the Justices who overturns Roe should be a woman. That way the press can't say it was a bunch of men in robes taking "rights away from women."

At last! and thank God! Even after 30+ yrs of bombardment by the pro death media and abortion mills, commonsense is returning!! And, thanks in part, to the new technology like the mall ultrasounds!

This is the best part!

Thanks for the post, sitetest. Imagine - I didn't see this on the network news tonight!

Dear cgk,

Do you keep a pro-life list?

Could I trouble you to ping it?


Thanks,

Well, not so huge. Faye Waddleton was on C-Span yesterday explaining why poor pitiful, misinformed and misguided women poll more pro-life than ever. It's not their fault, most of them are too young to remember the bad ole days before Roe V Wade, the days of backstreet and self-induced abortions.

Just like the left! Rather than admit they are losing the debate, that perhaps they should reconsider their position, they accuse everyone else of being too ignorant to form a valid opinion. Grrrrrr
