This is my weapon, there are many like it... but this one is mine.

Pray to Our Father in Heaven, His Will be done.

I agree with your comment about the bloody babies. I personally feel it is over the top. They have a right to do it...I have a right to my opinion.

I think, though, that the college should be ashamed about trying to restrict a peaceful protest. It is civil disobedience...and I respect the rule of law...but the way things are going, I’m wondering how long it’s going to be before the tea party protests are somehow “trespassing”.

As for the abortion question. I found the following to be the most wonderful tool in the debate, yet.

I found the pic. He is pushing a stroller. No big deal.
Doesn’t seem to graphic to me.

So there wasn’t any infiltrators. Gee glad we cleared that up.

Thank you! I posted that up at AIPNEWS.com. We have a whole bunch of folks who will really appreciate it.

Our Michigan AIP Chairman, Patrick Flynn, who is a very committed Catholic, was among those arrested with Dr. Keyes today. Patrick is one of the finest Americans I know.

Yeah fake blood is a little childish, what they need to do is the real thing, and use a 7 month old unborn child as the example, let them see what the procedure is really like. A life moving, stirring and suddenly slaughtered right in front of Barack Obama and his ilk.

I'm not sure I get this. Are you suggesting publicly aborting a 7-month-old unborn baby to make a point against abortion?

Innocent babies lives are being taken in needless abortions and some so called Conservatives are wanting to hold sensitivity seminars saying the protest was extreme? One man died in Christian history for shaming Herod for marrying his living brothers wife. For this John The Baptist was beheaded. Yet some are boo hooing over simple animated graphics aimed at murdering liberals as being extreme?

Passiveness has cost the Conservative movement as well as the GOP both houses and the White House. Happy yet or do you think passiveness is still the answer? Of course you do as it works so well as we see in the results in the elections now doesn't it? It seems Alan and others who take these stands are too extreme for some people claiming to be Conservatives delicate easily offended moderate taste. Sheesh!

Oh I forgot we all must follow the PASSIVE {can't we all just get along} Bush Family example on this issue and remain silent right mothers? Silly Me. /sarcasm

Sorry about Mr. Flynn Eternal...That’s truly ashame...the libs seem to get away with breaking the law on a regular basis....I don’t really get why the arrest?

[who knows what evil?]

Standing and applauding!

[EternalVigilance]

Amen to your post.

"It just turns people off,"

Dead bloody babies SHOULD turn people off. Shall I post some of those pics to change your heart?

I’ll do some more digging later, but this is the school’s organization that is involved with promoting Catholic based social ‘freedoms’ and I bet you’ll find some good stuff here.

I don’t think aborted babies should ‘turn people on’.. yea, some folks don’t like how they delivered the message, but at least they where there doing something. It sure did get them a lot of media attention, now is the battle for how it is sold.

The way I see it, you have government officials stifling free speech and oppressing peaceful protesters on a university campus that prides itself with ‘free speech zones’ in public locations.

[EternalVigilance]

I wonder how they will handle tens of thousands of demonstrators...

[cva66snipe]

Thanks. No war in the history of man has ever been won being passive except one. The one at the cross and it wasn't passive either by any means. Justifiable anger is OK as is protesting and speaking out.

What some are wanting is like a road crew posting Bridge Out Ahead. Some locals came by and say that will hurt our business as people think the road is closed and turn around and leave the area. Remove the sign and put up a less scarey warning they demanded. The road crew puts up a sign Road Construction Ahead.

Now which sign would most accurately describe the actual problem and likely save lives? The moderates in the GOP need to understand this and stop white washing critical issues.

The point I was trying to make, and rather poorly, is that if people actually observed a late term abortion in real time, it might make a difference in how they feel about this horrible law and the lawmakers that condone and sponsor it. Fake blood makes people squeamish?

[NoGrayZone]

Here ya go....

Are you comfortable now?

[firebrand]

Sometimes you get more attention for your cause by civil disobedience. Peaceful civil disobedience. It can be debated, I’m sure, but I wonder if these threads would even be up here for umpteen hundred thousand people to see if Terry and Keyes had not defied instructions to stay off the grass.

[EternalVigilance]

That’s right. And this historic confrontation between good and evil has only just begun.
