Abortion foe punched

My friend, it is YOU that seems more like the Democrat here. Arguments based on emotion (like yours), not logic, facts and reason are their hallmarks.

[Malcolm]

You didn't hit anything. And we'll see on Judgement Day who is right and who is wrong, won't we?

[Malcolm]

But the POINT is, are going to stop abortion this way? The answer is NO! Voting for people to end abortion is not "sitting at home." All authority is from G-d, and yes Psalm 73, that ALSO means the US gov't. We shall see whether your method or mine, mixed with prayer, will end abortion. The flesh profits nothing. If you do it YOUR way, instead of G-d's, (and let's always consider that we CAN be wrong in our methods), you will always fail. Another question for you "perfect" people: who ended slavery, John Brown (illegally) or Lincoln (legally)? Think about it, if you do any thinking at all.....

[Malcolm]

I'm not convinced it has worked at all. For the handful of clinics it has closed, it has also galvanized the opposition. If this was changed LEGALLY, (via our gov't, the only real place that any meaningful change CAN take place), then how could the pro-abortion people argue against that, with any MEANINGFUL argument, since it was done within the legal process?

My sincere thanks for you thoughful input. It sure beats the h--- our of pompous replies like P73 and what other self-righteous trash post here.....

Well, I'm not sure if what you just wrote was aimed at me, but I actually agree with what you wrote:

"I believe prayer and voting for the right candidates to overturn Roe v. Wade is the best we can do."

I'd just add that it is not necessarily the only thing that can be done. And I don't think that a local prayerful, peaceful presence has to be counter-productive to larger goals; and they have resulted in some little ones running around now that otherwise would just not be.

What you said is true and I am an eyewitness to at least three acts in the last 6 months.

"These people are desperate .. they are finally being exposed and it's from the public witness of the street prayer warriors and the new ability to bypass proabort media and get the news out over the internet!!

"The baby-killers are feeling the pressure from pro-life Americans, and the recent pro-life victories in this past election are increasing their paranoia.
They will get much nastier, and Americans sitting on the fence will see their true colors, just like at the Wellstone memorial/rally."

[desertcry]

This is HATE CRIME!

[Trailerpark Badass]

Many abortion protesters see their actions as saving lives. They believe that by giving pause to those going to the clinics, they might cause the mother to rethink her "choice," if only maybe for a day.

Many folks see this as a struggle to save lives, not just influence public policy.
