Leslee Unruh of VoteYesforLife, especially angry over Neil Horsley's Truth Trucks of aborted fetuses and the filming of parents planning abortions in Sioux Falls during this past month (Abortioncams.com) seems to be taking on similarities to the attitude of Daschle described by Political scientist Bill Richardson at the University of South Dakota in the Nov. 3, 2004 article below...

"You separate yourself from your opponent by trying to distinguish the ways in which you are different -- particularly when you are trying to characterize yourself as the person who best represents the values of your state. The negative ads did that -- the negative ads worked, and they also boosted turnout," said Richardson.

“That’s what the old way was, and that’s why they were losing all these years.”, "I refuse to show pictures of dead babies,” says Unruh about the use of graphics."

Leslie Unruh's notions fail to recognize highly effective campaigns such as those employed by the The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and others who deployed a massive graphic sign convoy just prior to Daschle's defeat in 2004

Father Pavonne, a Catholic Priest and major promoter for VoteYesForLife, also encourages the use of graphic signs:

"Political scientist Bill Richardson at the University of South Dakota says Thune won the support of Christian voters, and women concerned with social issues like abortion. Richardson says while many people tired of negative campaigns, in this case it worked. He says people listened and remembered."

"A political era ended in South Dakota with the defeat of U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle. Daschle became the first party leader in more than 50 years to be voted out of office. Republican John Thune beat him by a 51-49 percent margin. "

"They were mourning the end of a 26-year political career which began when Tom Daschle was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1986, he won the first of three terms to the U.S. Senate."

The Rev. Jerry Falwell issued an Internet plea to his followers, calling on them in September to “counter the propaganda” Planned Parenthood would be promoting. And Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, scoffed at Mr. Falwell’s claims about how much money her group would spend, but acknowledged, “This is really on the top of everyone’s mind.”  >>>>

 

And let us not forget who appropriates the tax-payer funding for planned parenthood affording them to work against all pro-life legislation and pro-life organizations in America.  Who appropriates over $1/4 billion per year to them?  Why, it's none other than the so-called, pro-life, Evangelical Christian, Devout Catholic Congressmen, who year-after-year, over $1.3 billion in the Bush administration so far, more than Clinton, VOTE TO FUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD included in hugh appropriation bills, HR 3010.    Every year the Christian republicans vote for death, fund death, fund condoms in schools, fund anal sex education for teens.

“They need to butt out of women’s lives”


Women need to "choose" to use birth control or keep their pants on. Women have more reproductive responsibility than men. No it's not fair. Nature is like that sometimes. It is unnatural to attempt to level the "playing field" in every way. Either use birth control, remain abstinent (my favorite) or forget using abortion as a way to shirk your responsibilities.

The enemy will look for any inroad he can find.

Currently we are seeing the manifestation fo PRIDE. There are several organizations that are all working for the same cause, the same end....and what is going on under the surface, is the spirit of Pride... Who is going to get the credit? Who is the leader of it? These are things the enemy is using to try to undermine and destroy the efforts.

Praise the Lord, it is His battle!!!
