You think that more people would stop and think, “Hey, maybe the other side is on to something! They look happy, they seem happy. I’d like to try that out and see what I’m missing.”
I laud Jennifer conversion journey and the decisions she made along the way.
May God continue to bless her and her family.
You are so gonna get it, missy!
BTW, great article!
The only people who ever go that direction are politicians looking for votes. Once you realize that a fetus IS SO a REAL BABY, you can't un-know that. I made that trip right after Columbine, when I realized that those nutty pro-lifers were right - abortion is cheapening the value of all life in our society.
Wow, thanks for posting. That was a bit enlightening for me, actually.
When you do hear pro-life to pro-choice stories, it’s usually young women who just got to college and say, “I was raised in a backwards religious family and bought into it until I came to this liberal college.” It’s pretty boring, and doesn’t have nearly as much emotion or thought behind it.
I guarantee you, these women know better. They haven’t changed their views. They have abortions despite this anyway. Many live to regret their decisions in what is known as Post-Abortion Stress Syndrome. They’ll try to justify their actions by saying that they were young and didn’t know any better. But they are living for today and the guilt sets in big time later on, especially if they have children in the future.
Someone needs to use Hussein’s words against him. Yesterday he made a speech and said that fatherhood begins at conception. Someone needs to ask him how this can be since he says it is okay to destroy life after conception. Cannot have it both ways.
The media lets him and the worshippers don’t really pay attention anyway.
We're discussing life issues here.
This just might be something on which we actually agree.
A truly remarkable story, and a more capable defense of Pro-Life positions than I have heard from many lifelong believers.
>> Jennifer Fulwiler is a Web developer who lives in Austin, Tex., with her husband and three children.
Made all the more remarkable that she came to this realization in Texas’s version of San Francisco ... the lone bastion of complete lunacy in the Great State of Texas.

>> It’s amazing how you read more stories about the other side coming over to our side than you do the other way around.
Good observation — but not really that amazing when you think about it. It is extremely unlikely that a believer is going to have an epiphany that the unborn actually aren’t as human as they originally thought.
It is far more likely that, after some deep soul searching, an abortion advocate would have a “light-bulb moment” about the humanity of the unborn and the true brutality of abortion.
The history of humans deciding whom is, and is not, human is long and sad — chattel slavery, the Holocaust, abortion and Jihad have all emerged from groups of people determining that other people aren’t fully human and aren’t deserving of the inherent rights bestowed on humanity.

That’s because women who transition from pro life to pro abortion aren’t particularly proud of their transformation,
I know a couple of self described pro life women who panicked with an unexpected pregnancy and ended the pregnancies, one was even enabled in the decision making process by her ‘fiercely’ pro life mother.
So there you go. When someone’s back is to the wall, there’s no telling what they might do.

You’re talking common sense here. When we are talking about the other side, common sense doesn’t necessarily enter into the picture.

True enough, particularly when we’re talking about feminist ideologues. But, I tend to have more faith in Americans than that. Logic doesn’t affect ideologues, but it does affect red-blooded Americans who simply “logically” disagree with us, like the author of the article above. Americans can be reached with logical arguments — even on abortion.
As for radical feminist ideologues — those that Limbaugh calls “feminazis” — those to whom abortion is not only acceptable, but an inherent good ... they cannot be reached. They must simply be used as examples of the truly callous nature of the pro-abortion movement.
They can also be a source of true amusement — read the blogs at “feministing.com” or “iblamethepatriarchy.com” sometime. Truly hilarious. They are complete wackos, so blinded by arguments of the “patriarchy” and narcissistically focused on their own miserable lives that they cannot even see how minuscule a minority they truly are. My reactions tend to range from amusement to pity when reading that nonsense — as they are truly miserable women, living in constant paranoid fear of the “patriarchy”. I cannot seem to manage actual anger at such an inconsequentially small ideology.

And there it is again! Just yesterday something like this started about the Padra Pio post. Why do some people get so much joy in battling all the time? We should be building up the Army of God with the holy spirit as our weapon. There will always be differences between us,at least until Jesus comes back. But we have real evil in this world,such as abortion,and once again someone finds a way to start battling one another.We must celebrate that those who chose death,now choose life. Jesus gave us eternal life from the womb,let us celebrate the triumph of good over evil! Blessed is the fruit of thy womb,Jesus.
