Pro Life Has To Be More Than Another Unfunded Mandate.
I keep getting fundraising appeals from Father Frank Pavone- Dear Father Pavone. If you gave me the 75 Million you are raising for your lobbying enterprise and building in Washington, I would take fertility drugs until I dropped and have quadruplets every year for the next ten years.
Seriously, how many children do you think you could save if you just gave the money to pregnant women?
Who doesn't like kids for crying out loud. Who doesn't totally love them? We are wired that way.
What little girl do you know says "When I grow up I think I want to dismember my offspring before they are born." What little girl do you know rips the legs off her dollies and pokes their brains out with a penknife for kicks.
A fuller Pro-Life perspective means fundamentally altering some social constructions:
Here's what we mean: Incentivize Don't Penalize and Demonize. It's more effective. Trust Us.
There is something fundamentally rotten in the state of the Union- and don't blame me because I'm beautiful.

The group, founded in 2005 and dedicated to "promoting awareness of the Catholic social tradition" said the findings should provide common ground for both Republicans and Democrats interested in reducing the rate of abortion in the United States. The study was released Aug. 27 in Denver during a town hall meeting sponsored by Democrats for Life of America.
