but I cannot seem to get my thoughts together. I always enjoy reading about life issues, but with such frustration because I cannot figure out for the life of me why abortion is ever legal.
When I was a teenager, I was more active in the pro-life movement and I miss the ability to participate as much. I find it very interesting though, that when I attended various marches and protests back in the day (80's), I was one of the few teenagers. It was made up mostly of middle aged people. Now besides the amount of youth, the campaign seems to be supported by a great deal of Silent no More women. This is actually making it so much more frustrating because here are women saying that it is not all it is cracked up to be as far as women's rights, yet legislature is still not listening. What's it going to take?
I wondered over to Ann Coulter today and she said just what I was thinking, except much better than I could:
Actually, what we need least of all is to "change hearts." Maybe it's my law background, but I think it's time we changed a few judges.The "changing hearts" portion of the abortion debate is over. ATTENTION, PASSENGERS: We're now entering the "minds" portion of the "hearts and minds" journey on abortion. We've been talking about abortion for 32 years. All the hearts that can be changed have been changed. By some estimates, 35 million human hearts (and counting) have been "changed" by abortion.
Each year on the anniversary, my stomch turns a little more than the year before, I am a little less patient on this issue, a little more desperate, a little more angry and more scared about what kind of future we have in a society where mothers kill their children.
I used to go to pray out in front of abortion mills regularly as a teenager, and I was the only young person there. Everyone else was much older and retired. I too felt such a rush seeing all of those young people present at the March for Life. (I wasn't there--I only saw footage of it on C-Span).
I just cannot understand the "pro-choice" position. :^(
Amen, sister.
I've raised a pro-life son, maybe that's a start. But it is so frustrating to think of the sheer waste, what we've thrown away.
I find myself angrier and weepier every anniversary.
