Paul Weyrich lost a lot of respect from many of us when he "surrendered" a few years ago. I find it incredible that so many people are navel-gazing when serious pro-life gains are being made and re-outlawing abortion is no longer such a distant dot on the horizon. The absolute frothing rage of our opponents should tell you that we're doing something right.

Rather than tearing everything down and starting from scratch, why not simply continue moving forward with what we've been doing, and augment it with new approaches.

I've seen some polls that have shown as many as 70% nationwide now oppose abortion on demand. We're winning the battles in the trenches. The next step should be to chase the hard-core pro-aborts out of the GOP and make "choice" a liability as a campaign issue for the Scum-o-crats.

"surrendered"

What did he do?

I remember this. He had been in the fight a very long time and was very frustrated. He is a great man who happens to be human.J

Maybe they need a little navel-gazing to see the obvious?

The sad fact seems to be that when there is an unwanted pregnancy, it doesn't matter how devoutly religious and conservative that person is (mother or father), abortion is the way they take to solve it. Father and mother do not want the extra work, time, and money. They lay aside their principles just for the few minutes it takes to have the abortion, and then pick them up again. I suspect that soon more than 50% of American women will have had abortions!

I'll have to read the book first, but I do think we need a better plan. There must be better ways to educate the public

Better ways of handling the press, the cultivation of better candidates, Forrester was a joke for pro-life issues, better letter to the editor writing campaigns and so on. We need to identify all of the abortion providers for organized street counseling and crisis pregnancy centers for referrals and financial help. For instance there is no organized lists of abortion mills and crisis pregnancy centers for NJ. I've been on National. crisis pregnancy center websites and some in NJ aren't even listed. My county right to life committee didn't even know there were two Planned parenthood centers in their county and didn't know whether they were just offices or conducted medical procedures. There is a lot which has to be done.
