isPermaLink="false">http://new.operationrescue.org/?p=2#comment-3</guid> <description>Awl-righty-then............I have a question for the respective police &quot;forces&quot; in Wichita and Hays, two of Kansas&#039;s most thriving cities:First off: to the badge-sporting battalion in Hays:  Where were you thirty years ago when various and sundry young men were driving past my house screaming filth and soul-searing epithets, driving INTO my driveway and dropping trash in front of the garage door and calling me unmentionable names, merely having premarital sex with one individual?  Wasn&#039;t there some sort of &quot;city ordinance&quot; against such cruelty?  Maybe there wasn&#039;t, not in those Dark Ages, anyway - but it had a devastating effect and certainly helped propel me to the abortionist&#039;s ministrations.....To the Wichita hitmen:  Oh-h-h-h, the horror and shock you must have suffered from observing the following innocuous items:  a child&#039;s winter coat, dolls, gifts for new moms as an incentive toward life and not its destruction, etc.  Oh, the pain!  Why, you&#039;re likely suffering the same flashbacks and post-traumatic stress disorders that so many of our valiant servicemen and servicewomen have endured!  Oh, you poor little dears!  Haul out the Prozac - toute de suite!  (Be careful though - that popular drug has one very unfortunate side effect.  You may feel as powerful as DeGaulle, but the Arc De Triomphe won&#039;t be able to implode - so it&#039;s a trade off, and a very unfortunate one.)OK - enough sarcasm for one morning:  Suffice it to say - I wish that, 30 years ago, someone (or some persons) had shown some human compassion, moral clarity and Christlike concern for me and so many other unwed mothers who found themselves enmeshed in situations of great tragedy.  A tragedy further compounded by abortion - and the cruelty of many.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Awl-righty-then&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p><p>I have a question for the respective police &#8220;forces&#8221; in Wichita and Hays, two of Kansas&#8217;s most thriving cities:</p><p>First off: to the badge-sporting battalion in Hays:  Where were you thirty years ago when various and sundry young men were driving past my house screaming filth and soul-searing epithets, driving INTO my driveway and dropping trash in front of the garage door and calling me unmentionable names, merely having premarital sex with one individual?

After all, you guys helped write the book on that, since you have promoted the murders of billions of innocent children across the world, and MURDER IS THE ULTIMATE IMPOSITION OF THE MURDERER&#039;S PERSONAL VIEWS ON HIS/HER VICTIM(S).More honest PPPE&#039;s have seen through the facade and gone on to more humane endeavors...may God give you the grace to join them.  Among these, several have testified that PP is notorious for downplaying, demeaning, and generally discouraging any treatment of the unborn (adoption, accepting all personal responsibility for the new life and raising the child) that does not line their coffers or promote their population-reduction agenda...in short, that does not IMPOSE THEIR VIEWS ON OTHERS.You might want to talk to some Chinese mothers of one child about the imposition of PP&#039;s views on society.  It might be an unpalatable perspective for you; it certainly is for those upon whom it has been brutally forced; but it is a much more accurate one that the one you currently espouse.ABORTION IS THE MURDER OF INNOCENT CHILDREN, IT IS DESTRUCTIVE TO WOMEN PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, IT POISONS EVERY LIFE IT TOUCHES, AND HONEST, COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE SAY SO AND DO NOT DESERVE TO BE BULLIED, SET UP, ARRESTED, ETC., AD NAUSEAM FOR DOING SO.This raises the obvious question, &quot;How hypocritical can you get?&quot;, since the fact that you are alive (at least in a physical, if not a valid spiritual, mental, or social sense) at all strongly suggests that if it were you facing dismemberment, and someone intervened on your behalf and saved your life, you would be so much more likely to seek the incarceration of the one who wanted to kill you than that of the one who intervened for you.You don&#039;t say how old you are; but if you were born after 1-22-73 in the U.S., then I can assure you that the operation you so proudly defend would have just as proudly chopped, sucked, ripped you to bloody, lifeless smithereens,offered the money and the chance to do so; and that had that happened, the person you are today would not be enjoying life as far as you know it.And no, getting set up on such flimsy, unconstitutional pretexts and incarcerated for exercising one&#039;s first amendment rights and trying to save innocent human life is not an improvement of society, an advance worthy of celebration.  Just ask any survivor of the Third Reich, whose sensitivity to the sufferings of others is certainly reflected in your belittling of Troy&#039;s. The Nazis locked up political dissidents, and cast aspersions on their mental health...JUST LIKE YOU.Be honest, if just for the sheer novelty of the experience, and admit that Troy &amp; allies get on PP&#039;s nerves for interfering with PP&#039;s imposition of their agenda on society.And anyone who would wish sexual assault on anyone, let alone help cover or otherwise aid &amp; abet such activity (As do all pro-aborts, since legal abortion is one of the best things that ever happened to assist rapists continue unhindered)deserves to be incarcerated permanently...or worse...And is certainly no friend of humanity in general, nor of women in particular.WAKE UP. (or do you prefer, WACHET AUF?...)Troy, ORW, be blessed, honoured AND ENCOURAGED.

isPermaLink="false">http://new.operationrescue.org/?p=2#comment-11</guid> <description>Gary:Somewhere in your scathing indictment, you forgot a rather vital component here:  women don&#039;t become pregnant by themselves.  Let us not excuse the legions of men whose callousness and disinterest contribute to the abortion industry.Similarly, let us not underestimate the critical role of fathers in our society and in our families.Thirty years ago, there would have been two persons - and two persons only - who could have dissuaded me from having the abortion I now regret.  First and foremost, my (maternal) grandfather, had he been alive at that point, would have stepped in, taken charge of the situation, and worked with me and my mother to find a suitable adoption scenario.  Not only that, he would have commanded my respect.  My mother, my sister and I all worshipped the ground upon which he strode like a Colossus.  He was, quite simply, a man among men - the architect of our lives - and his death in 1965 was a devastating tragedy for the entire family.Casting my (current) sights downward, that left only my ex-boyfriend, with whom I was madly in love as only a giddy 16-year-old can be.  If he had looked me in the eye and said, &quot;I wish you wouldn&#039;t....&quot; - that&#039;s all it would have taken.  Two seconds - four words - and I would have acquiesced.  Of course, that was beyond him and his moral capabilities.  Recently, I confided all this to a (former) colleague and she regarded me with a mixture of compassion and bemusement, astounded at the fact that &quot;two tickets to Tahiti&quot; wouldn&#039;t have been required as an incentive to those four words.  But they wouldn&#039;t have.Let us not underestimate fathers - not now, not ever.Continuing on this subject, I see that one of the police involved in Friday&#039;s fiasco was female.  Her life circumstances are none of my business, and I don&#039;t know if she ever peruses this website, but if she can look at the accompanying picture(s) and fail to be moved, she must have something I don&#039;t.Seeing the picture above, with that precious, beautiful child exuding all the disarming innocence and unfettered joy that our Lord says is rightfully hers, just went straight to my heart.And to think:  The BTK killer is again haunting Wichita.....there are how many rapes and burglaries every minute in our nation.....and the Wichita police are confiscating dolls and winter coats?  There has to be a point here, there just has to be.....I just haven&#039;t found it yet.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gary:</p><p>Somewhere in your scathing indictment, you forgot a rather vital component here:  women don&#8217;t become pregnant by themselves.

Recently, I confided all this to a (former) colleague and she regarded me with a mixture of compassion and bemusement, astounded at the fact that &#8220;two tickets to Tahiti&#8221; wouldn&#8217;t have been required as an incentive to those four words.  But they wouldn&#8217;t have.</p><p>Let us not underestimate fathers &#8211; not now, not ever.</p><p>Continuing on this subject, I see that one of the police involved in Friday&#8217;s fiasco was female.  Her life circumstances are none of my business, and I don&#8217;t know if she ever peruses this website, but if she can look at the accompanying picture(s) and fail to be moved, she must have something I don&#8217;t.</p><p>Seeing the picture above, with that precious, beautiful child exuding all the disarming innocence and unfettered joy that our Lord says is rightfully hers, just went straight to my heart.</p><p>And to think:  The BTK killer is again haunting Wichita&#8230;..there are how many rapes and burglaries every minute in our nation&#8230;..and the Wichita police are confiscating dolls and winter coats?  There has to be a point here, there just has to be&#8230;..I just haven&#8217;t found it yet.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
