On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade in January 2013, Time magazine published a surprising and iconic cover story about how the pro-choice side has been losing ever since it thought it won in 1973. The reasons Time listed were spot on:
Indeed, abortion advocates have been in an admitted state of panic for quite some time over building pro-life momentum.
But within the past several days two abortion advocates have separately admitted their side is losing…
Other recent abortion articles have hit on the same theme…
Here are 15 reasons why abortion proponents think pro-lifers are crushing them, as lifted from the aforementioned abortion articles. A couple were included in Time’s list, but most are in addition:
In a nutshell, quoting VanEgeren:
Whether it’s through hundreds of laws passed at the state level or the recent Hobby Lobby decision that allows companies to deny birth control coverage to employees on religious grounds, the pro-life movement is on a winning streak over access to abortions and birth control.
“It’s kind of like waiting for the other shoe to drop,” said Elizabeth Nash, state issues manager with the Guttmacher Institute, a think-tank focused on sexual and reproductive health policy. “I’m not entirely sure what will happen next.”
Well, here’s another shoe, impossible for abortion proponents to fill. Quoting Sarah Weddington (pictured), the lawyer who successfully persuaded the Supreme Court in Roe v Wade, speaking at an event on July 12, via KnoxNews.com:
“Today, the young people are so much further (along) than I was at their age,” she said. “They speak more languages. They go on more trips. They have to show me how to use my iPhone … but one of the things we haven’t quite managed to do is to give them the same burning motivation to change things that we believe are wrong in the way that we did.”
In other words, the pro-choice crowd has no rear guard. They killed them.
LifeNews.com Note: Jill Stanek fought to stop “live birth abortions” after witnessing one as an RN at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. That led to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act legislation, signed by President Bush, that would ensure that proper medical care be given to unborn children who survive botched abortion attempts.
Couple of weeks ago I became 668. I think the original 668 was just fed up with the place, but couldn’t get anyone to cancel the account.
What’s an opus?
Which is utterly stunning given how easy it is to get birth control and not get pregnant in the first place.
I think marriage will come around. It’s too stabilizing for individuals for it to be destroyed. We’ve simply forgotten all the bad reasons that caused marriage to become normal. Mostly it is women who’ve been convinced that committed marriage is a bad thing.
Wow. Thanks, Salvation.
Inciteful post. The democrat abortion on demand policy, as operational in black communities, has murdered so many of the alive unborn black children that now the democrips are actively directing an invasion by Hispanics to replace the votes that will never materialize because the posterity has been slaughtered. Sadly, it does not look like Hispanics are capable of seeing what the democrips are up to and will eventually fall victim in the same way democrips have murdered the souls of so many black people.
Bizarre.
Wow, the Viking Kitties are BACK!

Man, what a piece of work.
Of course, you can have the graphic. I have no idea whether the cat pictured is up for adoption or not. It was a gift gif from another FReeper, quite some time ago, and you are welcome to it.
He looks like D (minus the beauty mark), doesn’t he?
Long term, I agree.
For the next half dozen generations, I don’t know. You have to remember marriage as a universal institution is relatively new. In the last two hundred years, it went from the lower class has no exception (or ability) to get married to the high marriage rates of the early 1900’s.
Simply put, the lower classes have have typically had lower rates of wedlock throughout history.
I thought he was D, as a kitten.
I’m impressed by the commenters here. It’s wonderful to know there are other people in the world who agree with you, especially when you don’t know may in real life.
And I love the Viking kitties. I wish I knew how to make graphics like that.
I hear you - I’ve lived in a blue state or two in my time.
Very interesting. The new management didn’t notice that the original 668 was a woman, either.
I could have called myself TheOldThing, but I did not want to be ambiguous and wanted to let people know that I’m female.
Hi, Trisham. Nah... It’s just your run of the mill laser-eyed Viking Kitty. ;-)
Sorry. The number one thing stopping abortion from happening is THE ULTRASOUND MACHINE.
Now showing a baby with a beating heart at 6 weeks. SIX WEEKS MEANS only two weeks after a missed period. Four weeks after she had sex. And the images are clearer than ever.
I applaud everyone in the Pro-Life movement. But this tech is winning hearts and minds best.
It was nice to see him go. He must have been tired of FR, and going on a pro-abortion rant as disgusting as his was is a great way to permanently exit the site.
If he was trying to rile the natives, then he certainly succeeded. Good riddance.
