Pro-choice Pledge a Picketer drive counts pregnant pro-life protesters as two people
this year was our fourth annual pledge a picketer fund drive….
of course we count the babies in carriers and strollers, and yes, i count the obviously pregnant ladies for two. afterall, they are displaying their big bellies as tools of shame, same as they are their toddlers.. and besides, they count them, right? (this is a LIFE!!) plus, i am that escort who will call a fetus a baby without shame, and still justify termination as a compassionate option, no matter what the reason is.
of course i can’t have that conversation on the sidewalk. for one thing that would be engaging, which i try to avoid at all, but also the predictable next step (to call me a murderer) crosses the line of trying to argue logically with an illogical person, hence the non-engagement.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
That’s logic!
“they are displaying their big bellies as tools of shame, same as they are their toddlers”
Completely dense.
What an encouraging count and protest. Is it right to want to thank this escort?
It is hearthbreaking, that she perceives our attempts to love the women in need as “shame.”
We still want to love and help the women, even after their children are killed. And this is also called “shame.”
I am afraid that we are just mirrors to what she doesn’t want to see in her own heart. She cannot see what we really are — Love.
Calling out pregnant women with their “bellies as tools of shame”…
So we’re identified by our reproductive power, objectified
Then we should be ashamed about being pregnant?
Hmmmmm
You’ve come a long way, baby!
” i am that escort who will call a fetus a baby without shame, and still justify termination as a compassionate option, no matter what the reason is.”
Would that include sex-selection sbortion? It must be… compassionate to destroy little girl fetuses/ babies because they’re female, right?
You’ve come a long way, baby!
Oh, and I love how people are called picketers.
Actually, they’re just praying.
But ‘pledge a praying person’ sounds so harsh I guess.
Keep counting, miss delusional. Our numbers will keep growing.
“but also the predictable next step (to call me a murderer) crosses the line of trying to argue logically with an illogical person…”
I assume that she means that she is is logical person, and the pro-lifer is the illogical person.
I would agree that calling a deathscorter “murderer” to her face might not be effective or persuasive, due to the emotional response that this accusation is likely to induce in the deathscorter.
But…. what part of that accusation is not logical? She is knowingly and willingly participating in a process that results in the intentional and unnatural death of a child.
Even though she believes she is “compassionate,” it’s still murder. It is legalized murder, like the death penalty and warfare. Do you suppose that she also supports those types of legalized killing? After all, the death penalty is supposed to be “compassionate” for the victims of the criminal, and even war can be “compassionate” for the people who are liberated from their dictator.
Show me your logic, wenches. I’d like to hear it.
Wait, wait, wait. When we say “Ladies, being promiscuous is bad for you” we are told by the pro-aborts that that is “slut shaming”. When we say that babies are precious no matter the circumstance of their conception and that motherhood is a badge of honor the pro-aborts are now saying it is a “tool of shame”? HUH? If we can’t “slut shame” they can’t “mama shame”.
How are we illogical exactly when she just said killing a baby for any reason is compassionate? If an illogical person calls us illogical…hmmm…
Let me get this straight — you are the one who is okay with human sacrifice, and we are the ones who are uncivilized?
” i am that escort who will call a fetus a baby without shame, and still justify termination as a compassionate option, no matter what the reason is.”
translation: ‘”I prevent women from being dissuaded from killing their babies, which I acknowledge are babies. I can justify killing babies as a compassionate option, no matter what the reason is.”
Let’s see if we put that in historical terms, “I escort Jews to the concentration camps, even though I’m aware they are people about to be killed. I can justify killing those Jews as a compassionate option, no matter what the reason is.”
Reason why I’ve been dreaming of the Holocaust nightly #1: proabort willingness to justify anything, especially murder, as compassion.
Jill,
thanks for posting this. I recognized the photos, as I was there that morning in Louisville. I stood and prayed as I watched the escorts count us, video us praying, and called us ‘creepy’.
It was very peaceful, and I felt completely comfortable taking my young daughter there in peaceful protest.
Apparently the more protesters there the more money they raise for the clinic. In fact in the post the person encourages pro-lifers to come to protest because it’s more money for the clinic.
I’m not sure how to take this. Should we be complimented that they’re paying so much attention to us, or insulted that they’re using us like that?
P.S. I read some of the other posts on that blog. It’s utterly depressing. Internet high-fiving over raising money for an abortion clinic so people can end the existence of an in-uteral human being. Oh yes, and apparently it’s old “pro-lifers view women as only incubators” type arguments on there, too. *sighs* same old, same old. Still makes me sad.
I know not everyone is religious, but because I am, I’m going to say: please God, have mercy on us. Amen.
