Quote of the day.
From AP news, regarding the Planned Parenthood Potluck effort this weekend:
Sarah Stoesz, president of Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, said ban opponents in more than 30 states are planning to hold the potlucks as fundraisers.Read it here. Yup. "Rockin' fun potlucks" in support of abortion. A truly offensive grassroots political mission.
"For the first time we are on a truly offensive grassroots political mission," Stoesz said.
Comments
Putting graphic photos of aborted fetuses in front of young children is much more offensive, especially when those photos and horror stories have no relevance to what is happening in South Dakota, which previously allowed abortions only to the eighth or ninth week of pregnancy.
Having people like Leslee Unruh twist the facts to suit their own agenda is more offensive than a potluck fundraiser. Wanting the government to make personal choices for women, that should be between them and their doctors, is most offensive of all.
So if having potluck dinners to raise funds for Planned Parenthood offends some of you, so be it. The pro-birth people started this mess so they had better be prepared to deal with the fallout. That is what happens when one group forces their beliefs upon another group.
On the offensive...what a great crusade...
No one is forcing anyone to have abortions, only to show some compassion to women in crisis. All the arguments about murdering babies, if that what you prefer to call 2-inch fetuses, don't change the fact that women are living, breathing people who deserve some consideration too.
Who in their right mind would want to subject small children to those type of photos? Sick people, that's who. Anyone else has enough sense to know better.
THIS IS A LIE!
Having worked in the medical profession for a number of years and having listened to Dr Bell and PP during the Task Force hearings--there is NO choice made "between women and their doctors" in South Dakota!
Women listen to a TAPED TELEPHONE MESSAGE--which serves as informed consent! My daughter can't even get her EARS PEIRCED on that flimsy of an informed consent yet this is allowable for a surgical proceedure that occassionally ends in two deaths!
The FIRST TIME that the woman MEETS the doctor and has a chance to ask questions is when she is already in a hospital gown, on a surgical table with everything in place to begin sucking the baby from her body!
This is NOT about the government making choices for women. This is about helping women make BETTER choices. Not ones that will damage her own heath and kill the future generations of our country.
My sister miscarried her baby at home. This is from the letter that she sent me afterward.
Then I relaxed and delivered our 9 1/2-week baby. He was perfect. He had ten little toes and ten little fingers. He had ears and eyes. He was the size of a large lima bean and he was floating so delicately in his home of water. The entire package--sack, baby and placenta--fit perfectly in the palm of my hand.
Yes--Planned Parenthood with its 274 million in annual tax dollars is offensive.

That is a far cry from the photos that the wackos from Wisconsin were parading on the streets.
Planned (Anti-)Parenthood in South Dakota aborts fetuses up to 13 weeks and 6 days after implantation. After that, they refer mothers elsewhere to have the abortions performed. Enter Drs. Bell and Ball.
Why do people find pictures of aborted fetuses objectionable?
If God wanted me to exist, He could have given me another body. For all I know, maybe He did. I believe that God can do that because God can do anything.
I don't have a problem looking at aborted fetuses, but I don't think young children should be subjected to things that they don't understand. When people subject children to things like that, I wonder what they show their own children in the privacy of their homes. Sick individuals do sick things.
Doe V Bolton forces states to allow abortion in the 7th, 8th and 9th month.
Under present law, Planned Parenthood can abort the unborn baby at any time that the baby is inside the womb.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Also, I recalled Matthew 27, in which Jesus was hanging on the cross and people were scoffing at Him that He saved others but could not save Himself. They said "If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross" and "He trusted in God, let Him deliver him now."
In the end, Jesus triumphed over sin and death. However, He didn't do it by appeasing Satan and the heathens who mocked Him. Your assertion would suggest that we all might live many lives. It is akin to the Hindu belief in reincarnation, and it completely rejects the message contained in the Bible.
I hope you come to believe in the word of God and quit tempting and mocking Him.
I have noticed that seems to a trait of too many of you radical right people. I believe in following Jesus' command to love your neighbor. All you people can talk about is judging other people and spewing your hate-filled messages.
No wonder people refer to you as the Prairie Taliban.
May heaven protect us all from hypocrites like you!
Of course that coincides with my belief that ensoulment does not take place at conception, which I'm sure you do not share. You have a right to your belief, and I have a right to mine - whether you like it or not.
Being a Christian involves more than quoting scripture. You have to do more than talk the talk. You also have to walk the walk - and you appear to be limping.
Love is patient and kind, not jealous or boastful, not arogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful....
You say "I believe in following Jesus' command to love your neighbor. All you people can talk about is judging other people and spewing your hate-filled messages.
No wonder people refer to you as the Prairie Taliban."
Can you REALLY say that you are patient and kind??
Then you say "You have to do more than talk the talk. You also have to walk the walk - and you appear to be limping."
Not arrogant or rude??
First it is OK to killing living beings--whether they are insouled or not--then it is OK to call nasty names--finally it is OK to be holier than thou.
And you insist that you believe in loving your neighbor and you think that you are walking the walk??
Oh my! Could there be a little speck in your eye?
I agree that I shouldn't have made the Prairie Taliban remark. I don't anger often, but the accusation that I was mocking the God that I have believed in ever since I can remember infuriated me. I acted without giving it adequate thought so I plead guilty to that one.
I don't believe in abortion on demand, or in late term abortions, but I firmly believe that there are circumstances where the woman's well-being must be the top consideration. I find it absolutely incredible that other people believe they have the right to deny rape or incest victims or women with serious health problems the access to an abortion if that is determined to be the best alternative for them.
All the debate in the world isn't going to change my opinion or yours regarding the abortion ban. That's why it's going before the people.
