Stanek weekend question II: What are your six words for Life?
The pro-abort group National Partnership for Women & Families issued an interesting email this week:
Ever heard of the six-word memoir? A few years ago, well before Twitter took the internet by storm, SMITH Magazine issued a challenge to its readers to sum up the story of their lives… in six words. The result is micro poetry that’s funny, sad and often poignant….
So, let’s use SMITH Magazine’s successful tactic as a way to express our outrage over the “war” on women being waged in the US House of Representatives….
[L]ast week the House voted to defund Planned Parenthood and eliminate funding for Title X family planning services. And an extremely dangerous bill was just voted out of the House Judiciary Committee today that threatens health insurance coverage of abortion services for all women.
It’s shameful, and they’re not done yet. So are you up for the challenge? Share your six-word quote….
Here was NPW&F’s sample…
And a few more…
- Life. Liberty. Pursuit of Happiness. CHOICE. – Shannon S.
Congress, I want to stay healthy! – Kathleen K.
Planned Parenthood was there for me. – Simone C.
My life, Gives life, I choose. – Shawn L.
Kind of like a very short Haiku.
So what would be your six words for Life… or in opposition to “choice”?

Liberty is useless without life.

Do Not Abort — Graces On Delivery
(DNA) (GOD)
FANTASTIC!!!! Just spent last 24 hours babysitting an 8 month old baby (who was very unplanned and unexpected to her parents) and can confirm the above quote as an absolutely true one!!!
Good people can not disagree
Sorry, Hal, but good people don’t support killing other innocent people.
Live and please let them [insert cute fetus picure] live.
Change your heart to love children.
Then they all will be wanted.
Hal : “Good people can disagree”
Here’s a six-worder for you Hal:
“Good people don’t advocate killing babies.”
Joan should give up abortionist doublespeak.
Killing unborn humans is a crime.
The abortionist movement is intellectually dishonest.
The abortionist mentality is logically impossible.
We’re placental mammals. That settles it.
Unborn human rights are human rights.
Don’t say “choice”. You mean “killing”.
Nobody has ever killed more people.
Every abortionist started out as unborn.
Stop violating your children’s human rights.
Pro-life is pro-life. Anti-life is anti-life. Duh! (sorry, seven words)
Humans have right to human lifespan.
Stop destroying the future of humanity.
Love your children. Don’t destroy them.
“Pro-choice” is a lie. Children die.
Abortion caused 300,000 breast cancer deaths.
“PP condoms won’t protect your heart”
Children Deserve A Chance at Life
Be a voice for the voiceless.
“Follow the facts, not your feelings.”
“First, they came for the unborn…”
“Abortion and slavery are not rights.”
“Murder of children is never necessary.”
…and, of course:
“Please do not feed the trolls!”
:) Praxedes, you’re almost frighteningly good at this…
Good people can certainly disagree in a localized sense, Hal… but that leaves the door wide open for stupidity, yes? And ultimately, there are some issues so primal and so fundamental that one cannot reject them without giving up the moniker “good”, at least in some key sense.
Everyone who supported slavery was free.
Everyone who supports abortion is born.
You will not silence my message.
You will not mock my God.
You will stop killing my generation.
Both sets are from posters from google images.
@joan
Nobody decides who gets to live.
The abortionist mentality IS an abortion.
Stop this crime against humanity now!
Your uterus, your responsibility, you pay.
Remove your uterus from my wallet.
Child killing is not health care.
Children should be seen, not killed.
Pregnancy is no sexually transmitted disease.
Life and prosperity, death and destruction.
Choose life, that you may live.
Life happens, murder is no accident.
Elective abortion equals miscarriage of justice.
Liberty is not possible without life.
There is no choice after death.
“Remove your uterus from my wallet”. lol bro.
“choosing to nurture generations of life”
The LORD hates this bad deed.
He who destroys his own seed.
And those who shed innocent blood,
Lay a snare for their soul,
‘Peace’, a stranger to their grave,
And rest is absent from Sheol.
Hello, Hal! How are you?
—–
I’m unoriginal with this- I don’t have any sayings. So I’ll pick six words that I believe in and hope that I can apply to my life:
Equality, perseverance, wisdom, forgiveness, grit,* freedom.
I think that these things, plus others, matter quite a lot in all aspects of life, but with regards to abortion: equal rights for all; never give up; wisdom, mercy, courage, and liberty.
*Yes, I did see True Grit. Twice. I’m in a True Grit-y mood. :)

Hal : “Good people can disagree”
Here’s a six-worder for you Hal:
“Good people don’t advocate killing babies.”
Is “don’t” considered one word or two?
My kids were always human beings.
xalisae says:
“My kids were always human beings.”
Mine too, although some days…..they need to be reminded ;)
Then go seek out the one you had aborted, Hal. Go tell him or her how much of a human being they were.
Since the use of ultrasound images has been so powerful, I’d like to see them used in conjunction with the following six-word phrases.
Just remember where you came from.
Let your laws protect my body.
I like the idea of advancing the culture of life by tapping into the culture at large,
and co-opting the proabort slogans. Death is swallowed up in life, is it not?
Thanks to folks who asked about and were praying for the delivery of my son. It is all appreciated very much! Dominic Miguel was born last Wed. He seems a gentle spirit, which is welcome in a house with three other boys. :)
We’re both doing well, just resting at home now and getting this nursing thing off the ground.
Oh, another six-worder-
I REALLY LOVE BEING A MOM.
Hal,
As a contraction, don’t is considered one word.
HOPE for the future, not despair.
LOVE makes the world go ’round.
Without HIM no one understands correctly.
Lead nobly so others may follow.
Moral Relativism brings pain, not joy.
Children are hope for the world.
Our children are our greatest treasure.
Population control is anti-human-being.
We have a purpose from God.
Abortion can break a woman’s heart.
Family is not a dirty word.
Remember these words, “But for Wales?”.
FAIL: PP YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!
Your choice ends when life begins.
Congratulations, Mary Ann..that’s WONDERFUL! Oh..and i LOVE your six words, too! :)
For all the pro-life posters at Jill Stanek:
Wow, wow, wow, wow, awesome job!
My favorite (to send to the senate) is “Pregnancy is temporary. Abortion is forever.”
Pro-life. In the end, we win.
My Body, My Right to Live (next to a embryoscopy picture of a 9 week old embryo)
Eliminate the crisis, not the baby.
Their blood cries out for justice.
One third of my generation, dead.
Congratualtions Mary Ann and welcome Dominic!
Roe Vs Wade: A Judicial Atrocity.
Doe Vs Bolton: A Judicial Atrocity.
Abortion is treason against all humanity.
Abortion is treason against our species.
I deserve my own life, Mom.
Congratulations, Mary Ann! A new little boy. How precious. :)
Our lives are equal; take none.
(Congratulations, Mary Ann! :) )
Pre-born, post-born, we are the same.
I have two.
“Mommy, I want to live, please!”
and
“I’m glad your mom chose life.”
This ain’t exactly prolife, but carries a certain sentiment of honesty.
Killin’ is killin’…pre-born, post-born, whatever.
Mom and Dad, you invited me.
We Love Them Both, Choose Life!

Wow, great, original, profound!

Funding Fetal Executions isn’t “Small Government”
“Forced motherhood”? No, “free sex” lie.
Don’t increase debt to fund PP!
Non-Profit Makes Money from Child Rapists
Abortion revenue outstrips other PP income
Help sex slaves, not pimps. Report!
Contraception fail equals another abortion sale
“Pro-choice”? 64% of abortions coerced. (http://theunchoice.com/pdf/FactSheets/ForcedAbortions.pdf see page 2)
“Who decides?” . . . in forced abortions? “Choice”?
“Let women decide.” When they’re informed!
“Backalley abortions.” . . . or “house of horrors”?
“My body.” . . . until new body’s conceived.
“Control my own body.” . . . not another’s.
“I decide” . . . save sex for procreating.
“Rape and incest.” Don’t punish babies.
“Life of the mother.” Two patients!
“Safe.” But not for helpless babies?
“Legal.” –Unregulated, uninspected ”houses of horror”?
“And rare.” Why? Isn’t it “healthcare”?
“Punished with a baby.” Always blessings!
Christian apathy, abdication permit prenatal homicide.
Future for unrepentant child-killers? Eternal torment.
Jesus made a way, your choice.
His Mercy and Love are Awesome!
But He’s Holy, cannot tolerate sin.
Run into His Loving Arms today!
“Please don’t kill me! I’m yours!”
“Don’t kill me. I’m His too.”
Abortion is murder every single time.
Most monumental genocide in man’s history.
Child-killing evidence of man’s wicked depravity.
Christian passivity regarding child-killing is nauseating.
Legalized child-killing: an incomprehensible, mind-boggling evil.
Mommies choose life for their babies.
Love one another, especially the unborn
“A blob of cells?” Me too!
God has a plan for EVERY person.
Babies are a gift from our God.
To the other side: Bold, but true:
You are wrong. We are right.
A post-abortive mother:
I felt I had no choice.
Then to a pro-abort:
What do you say to that?
Abortion breaks spirits. God repairs them.
Abortion breaks spirits. Babies lift them.
I Thank God I am Pro-Life!
The opposite of life is death.
Abortion stops a beating heart. Period.
I love you, my fellow Pro-Lifers.
Created equal; life, liberty, pursuit happiness.
Not your DNA? Not your body.
Regardless of religion, conception begins life.

Congratulations, Mary Ann! :D
I have some,
“How do you like being born?”
“I am pro-choice…about moral choices”
“that baby shouldn’t be a maybe”
“You’ll save plastic but not me?”
oh and by the way,
good one GETREAL, that’s clever

:) These are outstanding!
Marauder’s “Not your DNA? Not your body.” is my current favourite…
Ultrasounds really hurt the abortion business
Satan dawned on January 22, 1973.
There are so many awesome life quotes here. I also love
Pregnancy is temporary, abortion is permanent.
God can heal the abortion wound.
I also saw this one somewhere:
“Choosy Moms Choose Life”
god’s not real, get a life
That’s right, Reality, we fundamentalist Christians don’t have a “real” life, right?
yes, you are absolutely correct Doe (six words!)
It’s Reality: Jesus believes in you.
it’s reality, jesus does not exist
Reality, I feel sorry for you (six words!)
Divine Guidance led Reality to us!
abrahamic faiths are delusional death cults (six words!)
there is no evidence for any god (six words!)
you can be good without god (six words!)
feels sorry for yourself, you’re misled (six words!)
Reality… based on Scripture
“The fool says theres no God”
(Psalms 14:1, Psalms 52:1 )
“I’ll be like the Most High” the greatest sin of all and the sin that cost Satan eternity. (Isaiah 14:14)
Reality, I feel bad for you. (6 words!)
good without god, naught without God
Every child IS wanted by someone
“feels sorry for yourself, you’re misled (six words!)”
I don’t even get this one. Is it supposed to be clever? Is it supposed to be thought-provoking?
God is real save a life.
Whosoever loveth death lacketh wisdom.
Fear is contagious so is courage!
Bobby, it was in response to Doe’s statement “Reality, I feel sorry for you”
biblical belief leads to comprehension failure (six words!)
Interesting. I didn’t realize this thread was supposed to be “six words to bash religious faith.” Huh. I guess we get to be reality’s punching bag for the day. :D
“biblical belief leads to comprehension failure”
Reality, get over yourself. For real.
“abrahamic faiths are delusional death cults”
Then why are we supporting life?
“there is no evidence for any god”
Every time you open your eyes,
You see evidence of intelligent design
The world’s beauty is no coincidence.
Reality, in 5 posts, you’ve failed,
Failed to make any valid points.
All you’ve done is spewed hate.
You have pointlessly bashed our faith,
without using any sort of logic.
Random insults are not intellegent debate.
I repeat my post from earlier:
You will not silence my message.
You will not mock my God.
You will stop killing my generation.
I’ll be praying hard for you.
Now back to the current topic:
Two people go into an abortuary,
But only one comes out alive.
women own their bodies, not you
women own their bodies, not god
is that better Kel person?
or
religious faith ‘bashes’ reason and justice
does that count as six words John, or maybe you should have used a comma instead of a full stop?
I cannot mock what doesn’t exist
I can mock those of ‘faith’
it’s not hate, it’s ridiculing inanity
don’t pray for me, grow up
No God? Abortion is still wrong.
Reality doesn’t mean what you think.
Women don’t own their children’s bodies.
I’m going to stray from the “six words” thing for a moment. First, I want to point out to you, reality, that I’m not really a blind faith kind of person, but my faith is very strong through reason and logic and scientific research, so I find most of your posts almost laughable. Secondly, I would like you to please stop being so intolerant and disrespectful. Nobody here is preaching religion to you, so there’s no reason to come on and post a bunch of hateful angry-sounding comments bashing a faith that’s based on love and joy and charity, especially since you’ve pretty much called us stupid in each one, but have failed to back that up with any sort of rational argument. So I repeat:
Reality, in 6 posts, you’ve failed.
I’ll be praying hard for you.
Good night.
(And I know its a bit late, but I never got to congratulate Marry Ann on her new baby boy. Congratulations Mary Ann. :) )
Reality – God is author of your every breath, whether you realize it or not. He has willed you into existence, loved you into being, and is wanting to have a real, life relationship with you. He loved you first, and is waiting for your response.
Religion and rational, scientific thought go hand in hand. The greatest thinkers of history had an eternal reference point. just look into history to find the educational system (college/university) was started by the faithful. Most charity work, for the most part is done by people of faith.
Can people be good without God? Yes – but most when introduced to God will find their lives get better, relationships get deeper and their lives have a whole new and deeper meaning. When you discover Love in it’s pure form, you are forever changed.
Hopefully you will discover that Love, and when you do, you will instead of poke and jab at believers, you will instead be the very best ‘reality’ God had in mind when He first had the idea of you in His mind.
Being a believer doesn’t end your problems, but gives you a new way to look at them and deal with them. It’s a whole new existence.
Good luck with the journey.
And ‘children’ don’t own womens’ bodies. How about we let those ‘children’ incubate their own bodies. What, they can’t? Oh dear me. I guess that means they aren’t quite ‘people’, where does that leave them?
‘my faith is very strong through reason and logic and scientific research’ – bzzzt, fail! That statement is an oxymoron. Reason, logic and scientific research all extinguish god.
I’m happy for you to find my posts laughable. If I bring ‘a smile to your dial’ it’s a good thing. I find religion to be a joke.
Intolerant? Who’s the one trying to prevent others doing as they wish?
Disrespectful? Try the teachings of numerous faiths.
‘a faith that’s based on love and joy and charity’ – if only that were true!
The rational arguments are self-evident.
Lauren – you don’t know what reality is.
joyfromillinois- what a load of meaningless platitudes!
Congratulations and much joy to Mary Ann.
Parents can kill children at will?
Breaking News! Contrary to science, life starts when you can provide for yourself, according to reality. Using his or her logic, it’s okay to kill anyone who can’t live on their own yet. That means your mom had the right to kill you as a child when it became inconvinient for her to take care of you, right? All of your other arguments are off topic, and you STILL haven’t made a single argument based on any sort of fact, just your own opinions.
I’ll stop feeding the trolls now.
Sorry for getting somewhat off-topic.
Back to 6 words for life.
Good night everybody, and God bless!
God bless us everyone, including Reality.
save the children, born and pre-born.
love them all, born and pre-born
save baby animals, save human babies
avoid lifetime regret, let children live
be a hero, don’t abort
Might doesn’t make right
Reality’s truth: “I’m bigger, I’m better.”
Believe or no, life is precious.
Attacking religion: easier than justifying homicide.
Even without God, my kids lived.
Killing is wrong, God or no.
There are no persons, only humans.
(congrats, Mary Ann!)
Every child is a great blessing.
A little story for “Reality”:
More than a century ago a proud university student boarded a train in France and sat next to an older man who seemed to be a peasant of comfortable means. The brash student noticed that the older gentleman was slipping beads through his fingers. He was praying the rosary.
“Sir, do you still believe in such outdated things?”, the student inquired.
“Yes, I do. Don’t you?” the man responded. The student laughed and admitted, “I do not believe in such silly things. Take my advice. Throw the rosary out the window, and learn what science has to say about it.”
“Science? I do not understand this science. Perhaps you can explain it to me,” the man said humbly, tears welling in his eyes.
The university student noticed that the man was deeply moved. To avoid hurting further the older person’s feelings, he said, “Please give me your address and I will send you some literature to explain the matter to you.” The man fumbled in the inside pocket of his coat and pulled out his business card. On reading the card, the student lowered his head in shame and was speechless. The card read: “Louis Pasteur, Director of the Institute of Scientific Research, Paris.” The science student encountered his country’s leading chemist and bacteriologist.
Most famous scientists are/have been devoutly religious. That you make fun of religion shows that you have no respect for them or their professions.
Hi Reality.
“And ‘children’ don’t own womens’ bodies. How about we let those ‘children’ incubate their own bodies. What, they can’t? Oh dear me. I guess that means they aren’t quite ‘people’, where does that leave them?”
Yes, an unborn cannot incubate themselves. How does it follow that they are not people? In order to be a person, do you have to be able to incubate yourself? Is that why we can’t kill each other? When asked why I can’t kill my one of my colleagues, is teh answer because he is able to incubate himself and is therefore worthy of life and respect?
“Reason, logic and scientific research all extinguish god.”
I would love to hear how it does this. Please, by all means, share your argument and we can evaluate it based on its merits.
Here’s my six words on abortion, perhaps tendentious and emotive, but I don’t trust a parent who isn’t a bit committed:
They wanted to kill our son
… loveliest boy in the world, extra chromosome and all, but it would have been legal to kill him any time up to his 0th birthday. And they call this law? And they call this medicine?
Sorry, guys/gals, I didn’t mean to fuel the fire. I just found Reality’s comment “God’s not real, get a life” offensive. It implies that those of us who do believe in God don’t have a life. I’ll pray for you, Reality. And thank you God for my life!!
Mary Ann
Blessings to you and your baby. My prayer for you baby is that his wisdom is surpassed only by his common sense and that in areas where others can not see any light not only will he be able to see the light but that he will be a part of that light. Exquisite blessings to you and yours.
One heart stopped, one heart crushed.
One dies quickly, one dies slowly.
Must they die for our happiness?
The blood of many. For what?
Slavery through empowerment, tyranny through choice.
We are not better for this.
Women and their children deserve better.
Let hope, not fear, drive us.
Your heart sees before your eyes.
Your soul knows before your mind.
Every child IS a wanted child.
Every child truly is a blessing.
Every child is beautiful beyond words.
Where to begin with their mothers?
…ultimately, six words is never sufficient.
Maestro
A mother is a work of art
proof of God’s love for us
A mother cannot be ever replaced
she is a real harbor always
The spirit of mothers live on
in the lives of her children
and in the silence you know
if you really listen you hear
her tears as they fall into
the hard hard ground a reflection
of the spirit of our land. ;(
