Jivin J’s Life Links 1-25-10, Part II

But I’ve always defended the back alley providers because most of them do a really decent job.
Carhart also says he’s “pro-life” and claims the only person who knows when life begins is the “mother of the life that she’s carrying.”…
cases of media malpractice relating to the March for Life 2010:
As Sanchez deliberated, CNN’s cameras seemed to have
found the same disgruntled crew of pro-abortion protestors that USA Today had found the year before. After the commercial break, Sanchez
finally conceded that although he had not “gone out and counted signs individually,” most of the protestors “seem to be anti-abortion activists.”
Making “12th and Delaware” turned out to be eye-opening for the filmmakers in another way: It made them feel that the anti-abortion forces, in Grady’s words, “are winning the hearts-and-minds campaign. Abortion is still legal, but there’s a huge taboo about it. Who cares if it’s legal if no doctor will train to do it?”
“While we were sleeping,” says Ewing, “the pro-life side organized a cultural campaign. A recent Gallup poll showed that for the first time more than half of the country identifies itself as pro-life. They have an unpaid multitude of soldiers and they’re more revved up; they think it’s murder, so of course they’re revved up.”

to pro-lifers. One describes various legislative actions relating to abortion in 2009. The other lists new laws enacted by states and the month of enactment.
A counterdemonstration organized by the Bay Area Coalition for Our Reproductive Rights drew only a few dozen demonstrators, many of whom marched alongside their counterparts on the Embarcadero, chanting slogans including, “Get off our ovaries, keep your rosaries.”
Organizers and participants of the abortion rights demonstration worried about their paltry showing.
Leroy Carhart:
“When we saw the number of women that came in with infections and bleeding and dying from abortions performed illegally, and some of these were the back alley abortions as we’ve all heard of. But I’ve always defended the back alley providers because most of them do a really decent job. But the unfortunate women that couldn’t afford or couldn’t find a back alley provider and their friends or themselves try to abort, ended up in very dire straits and very frequently dying.”
So “back-alley” is code for covert, decent abortions? Unless the pro-aborts start naming names of these “decent back-alley providers”, there’s no reason not to assume they occurred (illegally) in hospitals and clinics around the country, and not in filthy, rat-infested, alleys as they’d have us think.
“Grady and Ewing have shown “12th and Delaware” to the abortion clinic and to the CPC, and both sides, the filmmakers report, said it was fair.”
Given that they think pregnancy clinics are “set up to look like clinics” (implication: no medically trained volunteers, which is a lie), and that they say women at the CPC were “let down” and “not comforted” (as if abortion is comforting)… how on earth could this documentary be fair? At least they acknowledge in the preview that we aren’t about killing abortionists, but I still smell a lot of bias.
At the Houston Bound4LIFE event we had 4200 prayer warriors with red LIFE tape over their mouths praying at the abortion supercenter, and another 10,000 marching through the neighborhoods to bring awareness. The pro-aborts had 15 people at the most, cordoned off by the cops behind barricades, and they got tired of yelling obscenities at us and went home by lunchtime. Same thing at the Supreme Court, where we have been praying for five years. A dozen or so pro-aborts turn up every January 22 to yell and get photographed. We are there every day praying. Even the tour guides include us in their spiels now. We will win because the Spirit of God is behind us and He is opposing them. If we keep our hearts pure and don’t engage in the hatred that is spewed at us, we will prevail and we will win the minds and hearts of this generation and the next. Abortion will be overturned and hearts will change.
“But I’ve always defended the back alley providers because most of them do a really decent job.”

What do you know?
There may not be honor among theives, but mass murderers and serial killers have a different standard.
LeRoy, we don’t really care if you take offense or not, but we’ll get a second opinion even if you do you do mind.
Carhart you are more suited to spaying and euthenizing dogs and cats than preying on women and their prenatal children.

Both women also feel strongly that at its heart this struggle, in Grady’s words, “has nothing to do with babies. Its about control, it’s about the power of women and women’s roles, what the purpose of the female gender is, the absolute core of the identity of a woman. It’s so profound and so deep.”
What a chilling statement. Control. None of us has total control over our lives. Those who want babies can’t have them. Those who don’t want babies get pregnant. That’s the nature of things. Sacrificing babies is not the answer to solving problems. We need to embrace life for as long as it’s with us.
