I just learned that American poor-choicers are planning to march on Washington to protest the PBA ban (see link).

Has anyone else heard of this, and are there any pro-life groups that are planning counter-demonstrations?

God Bless, Suzanne from Canada

They's better carry large photographs showing the results of what they are marching in support of.

The pro-lifers will or should

[sauropod]

Um-hmmm...

[Cindy]

LIFE!

[murron]

You make a good point. Many pro-life groups still argue the point of when life begins. PBA proves that the pro-death side doesn't give a hoot when life begins. And don't think they don't know the facts. They just don't care. All they care about is their own convenience. My husband and I do counseling of women wanting to terminate their pregnancies, and not one of them ever says that they don't know they're taking their child's life. All they care about is getting rid of this "inconvenience". And it doesn't matter how young or how old these women are. The fact that anyone is advocating PBA should end the debate on when life begins and that that would matter to the pro-aborts anyway.

BTW, any doctor who performs an abortion should have their license taken away for violating the hippocratic oath.

Bless your heart, cyborg, but abortions are not "performed", they are committed.

Cordially,

[Coleus]

and are there any pro-life groups that are planning counter-demonstrations? >>>

I'm not sure yet, I certainly hope the National Right to life does something and I hope some of the state chapters can attend:

Pro-life bump

[Aquinasfan]

I want to see the crowd that marches in support of basically shoving a tube in a baby's head and sucking the brains out... lovely people.

Be careful what you wish for. The counter-demonstrators at pro-life rallies range from urban punks to the angry, suburban nose ring crowd to satanists holding signs saying "Kill Jesus" and "Eat Babies" (I saw them with my own eyes) to angry art school students waving 20 foot inflatable penises in front of a group of nuns (also witnessed first hand).

Boston. The Athens of America. Surprisingly, none of this photo-worthy stuff ever made it to video or print.

I would LOVE to be a counter-demonstrator.

They's better carry large photographs showing the results of what they are marching in support of.

If they won't, we will.

[Aquinasfan]

thanks... hope those machines become cheap enough so crisis pregnancy clinics can have them

From your lips to God's ears. I'm familiar with a CPC that uses the older technology. The turnaround rate for abortion-minded women who see their ultrasounds is around 85%. Without seeing the ultrasound, the turnaround rate is around 15%. Is it any wonder that Planned Infanticide hates 4D? Is it any wonder why they face the ultrasound monitors away from the mothers?

[cyborg]

4D brings a completely human face to the unborn baby which PP has sought to dehumanize... I'd not think much of a woman who still has an abortion AFTER seeing a baby laugh/cry and suck its thumb.

[Coleus]

Not sure why. Unless pfl has a typo on their webpage.

on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, 25 March 1999

[Gophack]

My daughter, Mary Helena, was born on the Feast of the Annunciation. March 25th ...

[Gophack]

Let them march. Let them try and defend this barbaric, inhuman, cruel practice. Their shrill protests against our reasonable request to stop killing babies partially delivered has helped us bring fence sitters to our side. When we start calling abortion what it is -- murder for the sake of convenience -- and showing what it does -- stops a beating heart -- we win more souls to our just cause.

[LibKill]

"Choice" my calloused butt!

9mm vs .45 cal. That's a choice.

Big Mac vs Burger King Whopper. That's another choice.

Abortion kills a baby. That is not a "choice".

[fatima]

Coleus,Life bump.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

Don't bet on it. Most crisis pregnancy clinics have only recently been able to get ultrasound machines. They have made a huge difference, though. It is rare for a woman to decide to abort once she's seen her baby on the ultrasound!

[cyborg]

Evil has always had more money than good, since the root of evil is the LOVE of money (not money itself).

[Coleus]

The events page of pfl has a typo, the date was wrong and should be the 25th of March this travel link has it right and the events link has it wrong

http://www.priestsforlife.org/travel3Page5.html right date
http://www.priestsforlife.org/eventsnew.html wrong date

PFL has been notified and I'm sure the eventsnew.html link will be updated with the correct March 25th date.
