Obviously you’ve never attended a Pro-Life Action League staff meeting.

Another prejudice and stereotypical assumption.

If you mean by staying home and taking care of her children and making dinner for her husband, well I guess I would rather take care of my husband than some stranger in the workplace who probably could care less about me. Unless of course women just have women bosses, which I think would probably be worse. Women who stay home can and are their own bosses, they can do whatever they want and they don’t have anyone telling them how do do it. I don’t see how having a 9-5 job is so great for a woman. What do they gain besides a paycheck and an ungrateful boss? Even I am given money and I do whatever I want. Strong willed? What is better than raising your children to be likable, responsible, strong in their faith people? Heck, just giving birth to children represents a strong will. Finally, we put up with working women looking at us like we are specks of dirt for taking care of our family, we don’t self deprecate, other women look down on women they don’t approve of and do it for them.

You have only managed to fuel my argument. Of course these words attack women. We keep trying to tell you that the whole problem with abortion is that woman and babies are being attacked. While those words are certainly unpleasant, the greatest profanity in the world is condoning women killing their children. When you bring a womans body parts down to the level of alley talk, you bring down the holiness of those same body parts. Once the act of intercourse is turned into a profane 4 letter word, it loses its dignity to a point where the resulting children of said act also become “dirty” and dispensible. If the point of this excercise was to point out that women are treated poorly by society, it was a redundant argument. By virtue of abortion, we already know that woman are manipulated and treated like cattle. That would be our whole point!

You have asked me to look at pictures of children from Iraq. They are heartbreaking. But using your logic, I could claim that they don’t strike a chord with me because the Iraqui people and the american soldiers have the right to protect their bodies. If a few kids have to die, well, bummer. Besides, even if these kids were allowed to live, what kind of life would they have. It’s not as if they were adults. It’s not they can make any decisions as far as the war is concerned.

And which woman on this site, Annie, Pansy, Rosie, Young Christian woman, is self deprecating? Or not strong willed.
I think you will find that Pro-life women are some of the most grounded, confident, at peace with themselves women in the world. This is because we live in the truth.

As for strong willed…You’re kidding right? Me, not strong-willed.
I suppose an amazon woman might surpass me, but other than that…

Do you have any idea how hard it is to confront this issue day after day against a hostile society? To stand in the freezing cold every saturday having the police called week after week? Being called filthy names, being constantly threatened? I promise you, if we were weak we would have packed it in a long time ago.

A woman has to be awfully strong to say no to a guy that wants sex, threatens to end the relationship if he doesn’t get it, or guilts the woman into it. This has been going on since the beginning of time. It is harder to see the bigger picture and forego something that could give you immediate pleasure not to mention “keep the guy”, then it is to say “No, thanks, I think I’ll wait…I’m worth it”…That is real strength. We are not prudes. We have all felt the pull to have sex inappropriately. Real strength is shown by saying no to temptation, not by giving into it.

OK think harder. the b-word obviously represents a woman.. even if you call someone a son of a b, you’re still insulting his mother, skank, slut, even the f-word has connotations of violating a woman, w*ore, the s and the a word are the only two major ones that don’t really have a female connotaion. How about the c word and the p word refering to a woman’s anatomical feature? More often than not our language has made us hostile to women. Our culture is hostile to women. I think female pro-lifers tend, but not always, tend to be self-deprecating and lack the ability to be a strong-willed female.

How can you look at these pictures, and still try to tell me that it’s not a baby, and a woman has the right to do this?

Don’t you question your humanity? Don’t you question your sanity?
Can’t you hear how irrational you sound? You can look at those little arms and legs, those faces, the little tiny rib cages, imagine the pain and the horror of being ripped to pieces like that, and still say that it is right? or worse A RIGHT?

I’m sorry. I just don’t understand. And as much as I respect your opinion on a lot of things, this just challenges me to respect you as a thinking, feeling human being.

Honestly, I’m not trying to be insulting. But it’s like listening to the people who can look at holocaust pictures and still deny that it happened. Or worse, not see why it’s wrong. I just don’t, can’t, understand…

MK

You made the list. Now circle all of the words that directly or indirectly insult a woman.

In all of our debating, I don’t think we’ve ever asked you and gotten an answer…

Have you ever looked, really looked, at the pictures on “Priests for Life” or any other website that shows abortions…You say you believe early trimester abortions are okay, but have you actually seen a picture up close of what one looks like?

You guys in Illinois are so lucky. I wish he’d go to Asia — if he did I’m pretty sure he’d stop by the Philippines… but then getting him on EWTN is good enough for me. =)

And no that isn’t what the activity is supposed to present.. Just do it and let me know when you have.

I know, I know…it’s another link…I was curious as to how many abortions are performed worldwide and this is the best I could come up with. If you know of a better one let me know.

The bottom line is that it is somewhere around 944 million. Close to 60 million a year.

If you want you can find a list of abortions by country. Japan, US, India…mind boggling.

Some countries abort more babies than are born alive.

The Alan Guttmacher site doesn’t lay it out as clearly but it does back up a lot of it.
It also complains that these abortions aren’t safe enough and we all have a social responsibility to ensure certain countries get better abortion care. Shoot me now. If we have already killed a billion babies and we make it easier to attain abortions, who will be left? I can see it now…the whole world will be populated by nothing but barren woman and abortion doctors… and boys that were allowed to be born in places like India and China…There will be thousands of test tubes filled with frozen embryos and no one that knows how to implant them.

Perhaps instead of better abortion care we need better mental health care…
Because we are all NUTS!

Maybe the whole world needs to undergo an exorcism.

The bagger was mentally impaired. He began to tell me about his sister that used to work at Maurice Lenell and then she got epilepsy so she got fired. 6 months later, his father died. He was 12 at the time. His mother died last year.

But then a smile lit up his face and he told that they were all in heaven and watching him. “There are 100 people in heaven waiting for me,” he said.

One hundred people, I thought. What an odd number…

“Because my mother had a birthday party, and there were a hundred people there” he continued, still beaming “and they’re all dead now. So I know that there are a hundred people waiting for me in heaven…”

Rarely is it the big things that can bring you to your knees. Instead it is the small, the weak, or the marginalized that can humble you. A handicapped man bagging groceries, my father in his bed, unable to talk or walk or eat, a little baby born in a stable. Small things. Big humility.

I only hope there are a hundred people in heaven waiting for me.
I only hope I make it to heaven…

I feel like somehow we have let this generation down. We had these beautiful gifts…marriage, intimacy, children, virtues…and we took them for granted. We didn’t protect them. Now they are broken and our children are left with damaged goods. They don’t even know what these gifts are supposed to do. How could we have let this happen? These gifts are so precious now and rare, that I feel we must treat them ever so carefully so that the few that are left can multiply and slowly we can hand them down to their rightful owners. How hard it must be to be young now. How hard and how lonely. God bless these young people. And God help them.

Unfortunately for those who practice modern sex, they welcome what belongs in the alley into their homes and bedrooms. I feel sorry for them.

I would probably call them womanizers. The women they used called them much worse.

I once met a guy at a bar who was bragging about all of the women he slept with. He made a really big deal about how important it was to wake up with someone next to him in the morning. I told him I thought this was a really strange feeling for him to have. I personally really liked being single and was so happy to not have to deal with any complications that modern relationships provided, specifically having to wake up with someone in your bed. With that explanation he looked really sad and confessed that he only slept with a lot of women because he was so lonely. I am not sure why I never felt lonely, perhaps premarital sex is an addiction and once you go down that road, you are stuck pursing that fleeting comfort indefinitely.
