She meant that she was repulsed by having to be shown the reality that abortion is murder.
``It does take the focus off the bigger, broader issues that we're doing, and I think that's regrettable,'' Howell said.
And there is the truly disgusting reality poor representative Howell is unable to fathom; our society has degenerated to the point that killing individuals in the womb is so blase that there are 'bigger, broader issues'.
blase \bla-za\ adj [F] : apathetic to pleasure or excitement as a result of excessive indulgence; also : sophisticated (C) 1995 Zane Publishing, Inc. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (C) 1994 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated

Live births:52% References for information contained above are available at |
In Virginia, 147,310 of the 1,580,350 women of childbearing age become pregnant each year. 63% of these pregnancies result in live births and 23% in abortions.
Virginia's teenage pregnancy rate ranks 26th nationally. Of the 19,040 teen pregnancies each year in Virginia, 52% result in live births and 34% result in abortions.
Legislators deal with very few true life or death issues ..... abortion is one of them ...... and there is no decision ever more important than one that has life or death consequences. This man's priorities are severely skewed.
My thoughts exactly.
If there's nothing wrong with abortion then why were they so upset I wonder? Hmmm? Hypocrites.
There should be three mandatory places every congressman and senator should be required to visit and be briefed on the events that transpire at them (and the consequences of those events) - it should be a law - a requirement to serve in these offices:
#1: An abortion clinic to see an acutal abortion and view the aborted fetus.
#2: An aids clinic to see dying AIDS patients and the results of the homosexual lifestyle.
#3: A morgue in a large city that collects homeless unclaimed bodies so they can see the pitiful condition of a society that no longer cares about the value of life or the concept of loving one's neighbor as they would love themself.
Senate Minority Leader Richard Saslaw of Fairfax County said this about a plastic model of a first-trimester baby, not about pictures such as you posted. The proponents of abortion are repulsed by pink plastic models of babies only because their minds can extrapolate the results of an abortion on such a perfectly formed human being. We are making progress, and I agree with the writer of the article above, that abortion will be a black mark on our history in 10 years or less, just as slavery and Nazi Germany now are.
We just need to keep speaking the truth in love, as Richard Black of Loudoun County is doing. God bless him and many more like him.
I recommend that you only include your name...no address unless you live in his district.
I just sent him this message:
Dear Senator Saslaw,
I understand from the news reports today that you were "repulsed" by the plastic fetus you and the other Senators/Delegates got in the mail from Delegate Black. I have no problem with him sending these.
Quite frankly, as a father of 2 children in Virginia, I am REPULSED by elected representatives in Richmond who continue to allow this pro-death, pro-abortion culture dominate our state and murder our children, the future of Virginia.
The people of Virginia are demanding that we STOP Virginia's policy of unlimited abortion on demand.
Just as the right to life dominated the previous November elections, Virginia families will be watching the abortion bills very carefully as we decide who to support and oppose in November.
Which side will you be on?
Sincerely,
