If abortion has nothing to hide and that it provides such a great public service to women, there should be no reason why it can’t be shown on T.V. The graphic nature of abortion is not an excuse to not showing it as violence is already commonplace in the media.

With this new P.P. petition party this time, in order to rescort abortion back to a halt, it will require that some pro-life group once again makes a clear decision to do the unexpected or something outrageous to break Plan P’s industrious pattern of manipulating the ignorant and disadvantaged.

Pro-lifers will have to continue to alienate themselves from conventional tactics and become more ideal and original in their approach. If we expect the unexpected, then we must be innovative and creative enough to deliver the unexpected.

It’s always been the idealists and the outrageous that ply the Yankee trade and spirit.

In order to break a relentless thinking pattern, such as an emotional hate cycle, like slavery or infanticide, psychologists tell us you clearly have to do something outrageous to get people to take a closer look and realize where their thinking has taken them.

In the movie: “Amazing Grace”, Wiberforce, during his twenty-year battle to end slavery, continually invents unexpected, outrageous, means to expose the dreadful suffering of slaves which is always out of sight and out of mind to most of the general public.

In one memorable scene, Wilberforce cleverly traps a sailing excursion where a number of wealthy English and Members of Parliament have just finished a cruise around a harbor entertained by a string ensemble.

The magic of Wilberforce and his men causes the excursion boat to be stopped in the bay next to the slave ship Madagascar, which had recently delivered 200 slaves to the West Indies, although 400 others who were captured died in transit, confined in chains in a space the size of a telephone booth—with no toilets.

Standing on the Madagascar, as the well-to-do men and women cover their faces with handkerchiefs to avoid inhaling the stench of death, excrement and sickness, Wilberforce admonishes his audience offended by the foul stench to remove the handkerchiefs from their noses, saying: “That smell is the smell of death — slow, painful death. Breathe it in; breathe it deeply. … Remember that smell. Remember the Madagascar. Remember that God made men equal.”

Weren’t the testimonies of the many women who suffered from abortion, the reason why South Dakota lawmakers passed the ban on all abortions in the first place? That must have been pretty outrageous for those wealthy legislators to sit up and take action like they did.

Repetition imbues our memory but also detracts from the meaning over time, perhaps this is why so many wallow deeply in this infanticide habit. Comedy is tragedy revisited. Whoopi says she’s had 4 abortions. She can tell you about coat hangers too, yet her daughter became pregnant at 14 and bucked the trend. Babies are emissaries from God and if we allow them to live happy and long enough, we will know unconditionally why the death and Crucifixion of Christ had to be so outrageous.

What I flunk to understand is how one hundred thousand, two hundred and fifty three, mostly-young pro-lifers, will march every year to freezing casual Washington to wage war on abortion, when it’s been proven over and over again that wars are won on the battlefield. Real people live in South Dakota.

“The young do not know enough to be prudent and therefore attempt the impossible and achieve it generation after generation” ~Pearl S Buck-”The Good Earth.”

Wilberforce: “No one of our age has ever taken power.”
Pitt: “Which is why we’re too young to realize certain things are impossible. Which is why we will do them anyway.”

We must admit that the Unruhs leading pro-life South Dakota began with an outrageous, unrelenting approach that has had a powerful impact. Now where is the rest of America “Under God” to receive and pass this baton?

The deliberate skirting of the informed consent rules by planned parenthood and others is done purposely to deceive women thus, HURTING women. Woman have the RIGHT to KNOW what abortion is and about pro-life services are available to them to support them in their pregnancy. Coerced consent also hurts women when others withdraw support and force the woman physically, mentally and financially into having an abortion.

I believe Sam Casey’s argument is on the right track at the right time. Lives depend on our actions today.
