OK. Then how about some manners?
Hostettler, speaking to his constituents, managed to piss off most of them.
What did he accomplish? What did his "abortion leads to breast cancer" idealism do to advance the pro-life cause?
Little, if you ask me.
Well, for one thing, it will publicise the studies showing a causal link between abortion and breast cancer, a topic that would otherwise remain closeted in a vault somewhere. My wife wants to know what the heck the big deal is?
I saw a quote from one woman, who claimed to speak for the entire group.
And now that group represents most of his constituents?
We'll see about that when he's re-elected, won't we?
(and moving from the other thread)
Shoving abortion in their faces is likely to make them vote against Hostettler. He's an ass for not having any manners.
The "let's not offend anyone by talking about abortion and just hope abortion goes away on its own" tactic has been tried and it failed. This congressman made the courageous decision to say what needed to be said rather than merely say what his audience wanted to hear. It was his call and he chose principle over votes and I applaud him for it. What you call manners I call cowardice.
