I’ve wondered about that, too. I just can’t come to terms with it. These people were from out of town and true believers. We were waiting for Bob Dornan to speak and later walking in the parade to the Supreme Court. Something was wrong.

Well I didn't take it personally. I think it's just human nature to be insular and wary of 'outsiders' at first. Even if a newcomer appears like-minded, it can take time for people to feel they know that person well enough to risk extending themselves.

Next time I'll go with family members. Or join a group that pickets abortion mills, get to know them better and go with them to pro-life events.
