People are not just coincidental statistics. People are neither coincidental, the error of existentialism and nihilism, nor are people statistics, the error of false aggregation inherent in socialism and eugenics.

This is a first-class, A1 post. It locates the problem and the solution with utter precision and accuracy.

Could that piece of scripture be any more beautiful? I think not.

Sally Jenkins(WAPO) hits hard for Tebow yet her heart remains unchanged. What does it take to change the hearts and minds of these pro aborters?
I did enjoy , however, her total skewering of NOW.

I do not believe in coincidences. As I am sure, Sarah Palin agrees.

My daddy taught me as a young man to NEVER abuse a lady, because as he put it so elequintly, “Because she is aways someone’s little girl”. I’m betting that Stacy understands this sentiment all to well, because it’s a South thing. And for those who don’t, I pity you.

Ah, that is so neat! No coincidences there.

~Amanda~

“Is that merely a hypothetical question? Because of Roe v. Wade, it’s not.”

Right. Because no abortions were performed prior to Roe v. Wade.

“Does anyone really think, then, that Trig Palin’s birth was just a statistical fluke? Do you believe that Sarah Palin’s selection as John McCain’s running mate was entirely random?”

Yes and yes.

Although, on second thought, perhaps divine intervention *is* the only way to explain an otherwise unexplainable selection.
Of course, if Sarah, that simpering unsophisticated rube, was God’s doing, I question His goodness — certainly His all-knowingness.

Unless she was intended as some kind of latter day curse, or a sign of the end times. Hmm.

Quite a thought provoking post, Stacy.

Note to the sanctimonious hair-pullers and teeth-gnashers: If fetuses are people in full, and if this is indeed a holocaust, a destruction of tens of millions of innocent lives, then you are all damn cowards and hypocrites for not taking up arms against the blood-drenched monsters who command this regime of murder. You’re witnessing slaughter on a daily basis, and all you can muster are a few woeful blog posts.

But, see, this is the thing: None of you, not a one, actually believe what you say. You don’t think fetuses are like you or me, with the same rights and privileges, not deep down. You are victims of your own delusions.

Oh, I honestly believe that YOU honestly believe the things you say, but your deeds betray your deceit.

Great Post.

While the Left treats the lives of people as expendable, time and again we on the Right (props to RS here) show that we care about flesh and blood human beings.

Be they under a dictators thumb in some far off country or in America, we on the Right actually give a damn.

Again, this is great writing and should circulate the world ’round.

To Philip P:

Cowards and Hypocrites?
What good would come if we took a gun in our hand and marched into abortion clinics threatening people to keep their child alive?
PRO-LIFE means we DON’T want to hurt or kill. We would only be cowards and hypocrites if we DID take up arms and battle these people.
There are more than just blog posts going on. A LOT more. And we are fighting peacefully for the rights of our future generations.

We KNOW that as soon as conception occurs, there is a unique set of genes created which creates a one of a kind human being with a one of a kind life.

Who are we to say when a fetus is considered a human? I know it’s right from the beginning. How far along in life do we have to wait for a life to get basic rights?
2 months?
At birth?
Once they open their eyes?
When they learn to speak?
Puberty?

From the very beginning that life is growing and even learning. How come it has to make it to a certain point in order to be considered alive?

To me, it’s not religion that makes me pro-life. It’s biology. Scientists know that life begins at conception. Yes, it’s dependent on a mother, but it’s still it’s own life. If science tells me that life doesn’t truly start until another point, then I will change my view.

Poor Philip P. Are you really that unaware that many pro-lifers picket abortion clinics? Is that not doing something about this holocaust? It is far more than the generation before us ever did about Hitler’s holocaust. What about families,like mine, who have adopted children so that they wouldn’t be aborted? What about groups of pro-lifers who have paid, in full, for the pre-natal care and ceasarean birth of an unborn child, whose mother was at an abortion clinic to kill her child because she had no insurance and no way to pay for the baby’s birth. Mind you, the abortion clinic took her wedding and engagement ring as payment for the abortion, the very symbols of her marriage to her husband who had unfortunately, been laid off his job. The baby was born healthy and happy and the “damn cowards and hypocrites” threw a baby shower for the family and found them adequate housing to boot.Yes…pro-lifers do care and are active. Unfortunately, some have even gone so far (WRONGLY) to take the lives of Doctors who have performed abortions. Murder is murder and this act is not condoned by pro-lifers as a whole. Every movement has a fringe element…even yours. So Philip P., before you make such damning rationalizations and accuse pro-lifers of not putting actions to our words, maybe you should educate yourself a little more. And, by the way, what is it exactly that you do for your cause besides posting a “few woeful blogs”? Our cause stands for the rights of ALL people, born and unborn. Yours is very selective. We are working hard to undo the narrow minded thinking your cause has perpetrated and passed as the law of the land.

Excellent points,Michelle. In 1995, 33% considered themselves prolife. In 2009, 51%. Why the increase? Not guns, violence, or unlawful behavior, but growing knowledge allowed by the advancing technology and personal stories. The scientific reality is that a human being comes into existence at conception. Capable of surviving on its own? No. Mature and fully developed? No. But a living, existing human being that IS the person that will be born unless brutalized by the abortion procedure. The prolifers, religious or not, are completely consistent on that scientific fact. You won’t identify another beginning of life because there is no other beginning. Add to that the number of women who are speaking out about after-abortion regret, youth seeing the development and accomplishments of an unborn child on Youtube, etc, kids knowing that they lost a brother or sister or cousin to abortion, and people like Tebow, Nick Cannon, and others opening up about how they might have been aborted ~ you can only deny the truth for so long.

Well done Stacey. I’ll let Michelle take down Philip P this time.

“Who are we to say when a fetus is considered a human? I know it’s right from the beginning. How far along in life do we have to wait for a life to get basic rights?

That’s goddamn right. The ONLY objective point on the whole pregnancy timeline where life CAN begin is at conception. Every single other point in time is subjective, arbitrary and capricious. We don’t write laws that way in this Country…or at least we’re not supposed to.

Picketing? Adoption? Letter writing? Wow, welcome to Useless, Population You.

You might as well brag about picketing Dachau.

You’re all cowards. You see millions being eviscerated, brutally, savagely murdered. You claim annihilation at a massive scale.

And how do you respond? Political theater. Christ.

Re: Phiip P

Why are leftists so incredibly angry? It doesn’t seem to matter what the subject is.

All those capital letters which seem to be required when leftists want to scream their point of view. Then the name calling.

This is standard when debating nearly anyone on the left. My old leftist friends do the same thing. They haven’t changed since 1970.

Guess what, Philip P. We are going to take back our wonderful country. That includes stopping the murder of millions of innocent little unborn children.

“Add to that the number of women who are speaking out about after-abortion regret,”

I’m sure that has nothing to do with the endless hounding and hand-wringing of bluenoses like yourself.

I’m not a leftist. Not at all.

“That includes stopping the murder of millions of innocent little unborn children.”

Not going to happen.

To Philip P.

There is a war going on in Afghanistan, and I’m opposed to it. By your logic I should buy a gun and end the war. Will the war in Afghanistan end by me buying a gun and going there to end it? No.

In the history of the pro-life movement there have been a few fanatics who have murdered abortion doctors. This is abhorrent and not to be condoned but condemned. The media made the whole pro-life movement out to be hypocritical, which it would be if the majority of us bought guns and killed doctors, but that was a few isolated instances, which should not be followed.

The pro-life movement is based on truth, biology, peace, and prayer. Yes, we truly believe that a fetus (latin for “little one”) is a human life. It has brain waves and a heart beat. If an adult was pulled out of the freezing water, and he had brain activity and a heart beat, he would be considered “alive” and put on life support if needed.

Your argument can be reduced down to name calling, which is illogical. You are motivated by the emotion of anger. You are not thinking clearly nor rationally.

Yes, we do believe that a fetus is a human being in the early stages of development with the same rights and privileges.

Why is it in court, they defend abortion as a woman’s choice, and in the very same courts they try a man for DOUBLE homicide if he kills a pregnant woman? Shouldn’t it count as only one life? Our court system is flawed and has a double standard. It is not just. We are praying for justice. We are praying for the lives of the unborn. We are praying for the women who have been traumatized by abortion because they have to live with it for the rest of their lives. We pray that the lies will be revealed and the truth will be known.

We are doing more than posting blogs. 350,000 of us marched on Washington D.C. last month, but the media said there was only a few thousand. We marched on San Francisco. We marched in Texas. We are growing. Peace, justice, and truth, at the end of the day will win.

Wow. Cindy Allen, great post. Good for you and God bless your efforts especially in your witness by adopting children. That is how the war for the unborn will be won…not with guns and bloodshed, but with truth, love, and self-sacrifice.

Oh Philip,

you just don’t understand how politics work. Nothing is a fast change. This is how people change their country… by doing one thing at a time. Like Mary said before

“In 1995, 33% considered themselves prolife. In 2009, 51%.”

it’s slow but it’s working. And that’s all the proof we need.

This blog isn’t about HOW Pro-life americans are trying to change the laws. It’s about WHY we want to change them.

Hey Phillip..As a sonographer, I can tell you that I see life in the womb everyday. Women are lied to by abortion doctors that it is not life. They don’t want to show an ultrasound because they could lose money…it’s ALL about the money. I educate women about the life inside and hopefully they will counsel someone else or their own daughters..someone who may actually get Roe v Wade overturned. We do what we can..one step at a time and never give up. Beleive me…God will have the last word on this…

I understand this nation and its politics very well. Which is why I am confident that abortion is here to stay. Accessibility may be curtailed, but its fundamental integrity will be protected by the courts. Sorry, Bible-beating rubes: Long live the judicial tyranny!

Philip,

You’re such a rambling idiot. Too bad your mom was a pro-lifer…
