Second, we have to do a better job of taking on the media, entertainment, and the education systems. All are controlled heavily by liberals with their “abortion under any circumstances” attitude. In the media, they will use every opportunity to portray the pro-life group as religious fanatics who use violence to achieve their ends. It wouldn’t surprise me if some pro-choice types perpetrated violence in the name of pro-life just to make pro-life look bad, and the media selectively reported it or covered it up. So at demonstrations, violence must be condemned repeatedly and respect for others must be more pronounced.

In the entertainment industry, we have to monitor closely to see that our position isn’t maligned. Check out how Law and Order SVU portrays pro-life types. One dimensional and bad. The advertisers should be contacted and told that a boycott will be pursued unless a more realistic approach is taken.

Last, in education, we have to become more and more involved at every level. Sex education simply cannot be left to the liberals. Get elected to the school board, volunteer, and most important, make sure your child talks to you about what is being taught. Then, organize and take action respectfully.

Does any of this sound reasonable to you?

I agree with most everything you have said. The problem, of course, is "connecting" with a woman who is pregnant to help her. That's not as easy as it sounds. What are your ideas on that?

Where a pro-lifer "works," is on the front lines usually, where every syllable you utter is of importance, as you've got about 20 seconds, sometimes less, to yell out your lifeline as the mother proceeds walking to PP's door.

On Good Friday, I participated in a prayerful protest, and I held an "I regret my abortion" sign from Silent No More. You've probably seen them. On that day, a young woman and her mother drove out of PP, and they stopped for free ultrasound literature. The young woman was not more than two or three feet away from me and tears were rolling down her cheek.

My husband was with me, and said, "you helped save a baby." While it's possible the sign had some effect, I think it was more the 200 or so people outside who were praying like monks that convinced this woman she should think over her decision.

My stint outside of PP the following week brought no such wonder. A beautiful woman and her boyfriend/brother/friend left PP, and she was limping in obvious pain. I asked my husband if he could come up with a sign that can be quickly read, and would appeal to youngsters (many of these girls are in their teens) as I am not young, and I don't think most seeking an abortion really care if I regretted a decision (when the dinosaurs walked) or not.

He came up with "SEX THRILLS BUT ABORTION KILLS ..." and in smaller type DON'T DO IT! (he suggested the exclamation point be an aborted child).

There's no room for violence in the pro-life movement (you are correct!), but it gets mighty discouraging sometimes, and that's when even more prayer or trust in Our Lord is necessary.

Second, we have to do a better job of taking on the media, entertainment, and the education systems....

We?

Avoth, you are obviously a liberal troll.

You started out this thread arguing that you see nothing wrong with abortion as long as it wasn't you that was aborted and then you denigrate all the long time pro-life posters who are committed to the pro-life cause and ignore all the pictures of the aborted fetuses which show the humanity of the fetus at even the most undeveloped stages and then you have the gall to come here and use the term "WE" and give the pro-lifers advice?

WE are NOT you!

Be gone Troll!

Appropo of nothing, I will note that I liked it when "Law & Order" (The Original Series) was casting the hot young part-Cherokee beauty model Angie Harmon as the designated "Pro-Life Conservative" for the series.
