The pro-life movement, just from the members that I have met and talked with, are very grassroots orientated. They have been working hard to change perspectives, much as DQ has recommended, but utilizing their very strong beliefs to good propaganda effect.

One of the better ways to convert people is to get them to change their lifestyle. If you introduce them to guns, your chances go up of a successful viewpoint shift because you aren’t just using words but giving them a different emotional context/experience.

Zombie’s work is pretty impressive. And he does suggest that official attitudes may be changing. I must agree.

If you support only one choice are you really pro-choice?…

I can’t say that I understand the controversy. The ad — paid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family — is expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow’s pregnancy in 1987 with a theme of “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.” After…

>>>>>”An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year — an event designed to bring Americans together,” said Jehmu Greene, president of the New York-based Women’s Media Center.<<<<<

Oh, brother. Does anyone remember back in the 70′s or early 80′s when some feminist academic or group–I don’t recall who it was, they all sound alike–put forth the bogus claim that there was more domestic violence against women on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year? Naturally it was reported as fact in numerous news outlets and womens’ magazines.

So which is it, ladies? An event designed to bring Americans together, or a spousal abuse-fest? Not that it matters. So many lies over so many years–who can keep track of them all?

Pro-choice – as long as you make one they approve of.

Some choice.

Actually, Book, I thinks there’s one issue you’ve missed – the censorship angle. Why should the Pro-choice have the ability to insist on _anything_ ? Who and/or what authority do they have to protest against a legitimate paid for ad? The Pro-Life people are paying for the ad – it isn’t a public service ad.

It’s _offensive_ to hear that someone _chose_ to give birth??? Unbelievable.

Thanks, Rockdalian. When it comes to names, my brain is pretty much word soup.

Book,
Your last several posts have blown me away! Great job! You’re a daily must read. Glad you have had a conversion of heart concerning abortion.
The actor Adam Baldwin (Chuck, Firefly) is a conservative blogger for bighollywood.com. I think it is Adam Lambert who did the crotch grab on American Idol.
