Stanek weekend question II: Why do abortion proponents get so angry?

The mind of the abortion supporter is complex. As I wrote in my previous post, on the one hand they want to make light of abortion, as if it is no more grave than an ingrown toenail.

And on the other hand abortion proponents cannot stand viewing pro-life messaging or the reality of abortion.

This week I was forwarded photos of pro-abortion vandalism in two different states.

The photo on the right was taken in front of the office of Nebraskans United for Life, in Omaha. NUFL’s signs were defaced on two separate occasions. They’re now hard to read, but certainly not “HATE”ful: “Protect the Unborn, Defend Marriage, Safeguard Religious Liberty,” and “Religious Liberty, The Soul of Democracy.”

Yet this is the world in which we now live, when some people think “Xtians [should] get out.”

Meanwhile, at an event featuring VP Joe Biden, a supporter stuck out in the cold waiting for two hours for him to show up apparently decided to vent her frustration on pro-life activists who were also on hand to remind the crowd what exactly the support in  the Obama/Biden ticket.

Oddly having a ready can of spray paint, the woman walked over and blacked over the pro-life messaging on two signs leaning against cars.

Stanek weekend question I: Why should abortion be funny?

We’ve discussed before that the liberal culture is attempting to destigmatize abortion by making jokes about it.

Already, apparently, we are to the point where if we “anti-choice nutjobs” don’t laugh along with the joke we have “terrible senses of humor.”

Earlier this year comedienne Chelsea Handler told Rose O’Donnell about her coerced abortion at age 16 by parents with the same attitude as Barack Obama, not wanting their daughter to be punished with their grandchild:

(“And, of course, I have no regret at all.” Why “of course”?)

Flash forward and Handler, now age 37, has never married and has no children.

When Handler appeared on Conan O’Brien’s show on October 31, she gave more detail. Her baby would have been 20 years old now and was half black. She reiterated, as she did on the Rosie show, that the abortion was best for her, but she suddenly began laughing, inexplicable even to her. WARNING: crude…

My thoughts regarding Election Day

I seriously could not have articulated my thoughts regarding Election Day any better than did Erick Erickson of RedState.com. This is exactly what I’m thinking, except for the fact I know I will be quite upset if Barack Obama wins. I’m only human. That said, I know God is in control. I would get over it. I have been disappointed many times only to look back and say, “Ah, I get it, and I sure am glad I’m not the one running things.” Excerpts from Erick’s post…

I believe Mitt Romney will win on election day….

My world view is pretty simple. I think this world is destined to go to hell in a hand basket by design. I think things are supposed to go to pot. So if Barack Obama wins, I won’t be upset. If Mitt Romney wins, I won’t be running through the streets cheering. I think, either way, it is all part of the design. The world is going down hill. Barack Obama re-elected just gets us down the slippery slope faster in my view. For others, it is Mitt Romney who does.

New Stanek poll: Who will win the presidency on Election Day?

Poll 2.pngI have a new poll question up, in keeping with the latest flak over abortion:

Who will win the presidency on Election Day?

Vote on the lower right side of the home page.

The last poll was interesting. I separated out responses so pro-life thinking on the rape/incest question wouldn’t be skewed.

The overwhelming majority of pro-lifers, at least visiting this blog, believe there should be no rape/incest exception.

This election season has only brought that question more to the fore. One surprise has been learning how woefully inept many of our pro-life politicians are at responding to a basic question they should have anticipated and had in their talking points handbag.

While I appreciate their stance, the other half of holding this belief is articulating it well, so as to fend off unnecessary attacks and also persuade the masses. This is obviously an issue for pro-lifer leaders to return to after the election.

NYT profiles AUL’s “pleasantly dangerous” CEO, Charmaine Yoest

Though she has helped usher in hard-hitting changes in women’s health care, Yoest is especially good at sounding reasonable rather than extreme. She never deviates from her talking points, never raises her voice and never forgets to smile. ~ New York Times reporter Emily Bazelon, in a profile of AUL CEO Charmaine Yoest, November 2 […]
