Jeff from ChicagoProLifeActivist reported on the celebration held last night for pray-ers and activists involved in the effort to stop Planned Parenthood Aurora....
Hundreds filled the Wheatland Community Park in Aurora to give thanks and praise to God and to the volunteers of the Fox Valley Families Against Planned Parenthood. The mood was upbeat and optimistic, with constant talk of that morning's federal court decision that keeps the nearby Planned Parenthood abortion clinic closed for now.But an equally constant message was circulating - that the struggle against Planned Parenthood is still underway, and numerous battles await local pro-lifers in the days, weeks, and months following this temporary victory....
David Bereit, founder of the "40 Days for Life" campaign... gave a rousing talk, informing the crowd that the entire nation has been following and is inspired by our fight against Planned Parenthood. David stated that our victories in Aurora could serve as a "tipping point" in the nation-wide struggle against Planned Parenthood, and called on everyone to pray and fight even harder to rid Aurora of Planned Parenthood and defend life.
Jeff made a little photo montage of the evening:

The only reason the pro-aborts get 39% is that they believe it is perfectly fine to vote more than once. It would probably be more like 93% to 7% in our favor, if pro-aborts had any scruples at all.
My apologies if this is impolite, but I want to let PIP know if she is reading this that I put one last comment for her down below at the bottom of the long thread on nutrition and hydration.
Keep on standing up for life! God bless.

Posted by: Diane at September 22, 2007 5:57 AMHey Jeff,
How come you only took pictures of the normal people? Where are all the right wing lunatic religious fanatics?
Posted by: mk at September 22, 2007 5:58 AMJoe, I voted "no" 2500 times.

Posted by: Doug at September 22, 2007 8:37 AMYeah, from those pictures, one might get the idea that anti-abortion "religious fanatics" are really just normal people. And that would be bad. Heck, it might even lead to revealing the truth about the annual March for Life - that it's the biggest collection of peaceful, normal people you will ever find.

There are ways to vote more than once. It requires a little effort, but someone could do it if they wanted to.
And Doug, "Joe, I voted "no" 2500 times."
Of course, I don't believe you. I do seriously wonder if your valuations and opinions would keep you from voting more than once, per se?
Joe: I don't believe you.
You're right - I was totally kidding.
......

No, but here at home I have a dial-up connection, and not a "fast" one, at that. Voting 2500 times would probably take a week....

I think it is sad that Democrats think "democracy" means the person who can vote more times than their opposition wins. I think Democrats should change their party name to something else. I would suggest "dishonestcrats”. It is WAY more fitting.

For the love of everything holy, Joe. Here's a bit of advice: grow up and move on from the second grade.

Joe, being serious - ballot-box stuffing isn't foreign to either party.
