They NEED to be uncomfortable

Yes. I suppose that is the only Politically Correct response one could expect from from a anti-free choice person.

Don't you ever get tired of meddling in other peoples lives?

How is it meddling to express an opinion? I think people need to be uncomfortable with what happens to the "product of conception" as pro-aborts like to call a pre-born child. Look, Cunningham isn't out blocking clinics, he isn't shooting doctors, in fact, he rejects the use of violence. He is merely excercising his right of free speech. Even if you disagree, as you obviously do, with both his message and the way he delivers it, will you not defend, nevertheless, his right to free speech?

"Don't you ever get tired of meddling in other peoples lives?"

There are a lot of ironies surrounding the abortion debate-- the same people willing to interfere with everyone else's unborn children will fight to the death any interference by anyone else in their relationships with their own, living children, while the people who defend forever anyone's right to an abortion at any time for any reason, will also support every kind and degree of state interference with parents and living children. Go figure. Makes no sense to me, but I have long since stopped expecting sense out of either side in the abortion debate.

The pro-life people lose me when they insist that there is NEVER a reason for abortion, that no human value trumps the right of the fetus to be born. Doctors can diagnose with absolute certainty at least one condition that I know of that is not treatable and certain to result in death within days if not hours of birth-- hydro-encephaly (water on the brain); it can be diagnosed in the 4th or 5th month. But, even this does not warrant abortion for the hard-line pro-lifers; instead, the woman is sentenced to carry this doomed baby for months and then to watch it die. This is humane? This is what God wants? I don't think so. I could give other examples of this insanity, but I'm sure you've heard them already.

On the other hand, the pro-choicers insist that there is NEVER a time or condition under which abortion should be disallowed-- five seconds before natural childbirth begins the horrible "partial birth abortion" procedure should be available to the mother. For them, absolutely no human value trumps the mother's right to be as stupid or venal as she wishes.

I see little true morality or goodness in the positions of fanatics on either side. And, unfortunately, until the fanatics are willing to move more to the center, most Americans will tune them out, in fact, tune out the entire issue. I have no problem with this article, or the trucks and their pictures, though I do think that they make an already emotionally laden debate more so. What the abortion debate really needs, in my opinion, is less passion and more reason, but I don't expect to live long enough to see that, and I'm a fairly young woman.

Is there a more violent, invasive, and abusive way to meddle in someone's life than to dismember her? Without anesthesia? Or defensible reason?

We believe you pro-death people are murderers and we have a right to meddle in your life Personally I believe you should be tried for your crimes.
