I was, presumably, someone's unwanted pregnancy as I was adopted as an infant in 1957. It's easy enough to understand why I don't support Planned Parenthood. However, I find the manner in which this young lady was sneaked into the Colorado House on false pretenses to be dishonest and unChristian. This is exactly the kind of stunt that gives Christians a bad name.

She got in with the consent of the author, the minority leader and with permission from the House Speaker. They didn't get as upset with her presence as you have. Christians at times have had to be bold to get a chance to even be heard. She didn't break any laws.

I never said Harvey or Jessen broke any laws. I did say that the Boston Tea Party broke laws and was not a good example of Christian activism.

Harvey got permission for her to sing/speak in order to address "X" knowing full well he would use her presence to address "Y" knowing also full well if he had not been deceitful in his request neither would be granted. I don't buy into deceit for any reason. As a practical matter it means that, in the future, people don't trust me to do as I say I'm going to do.

In discussions, I remind people all the time that my presence here is because I was not aborted in 1957 and it's a little harder to support abortion when you have to look someone in the eye and say "I wish you had never been born".

You said:.

They didn't get as upset with her presence as you have.

Harvey said:

I then walked back to my chair shaking like a leaf. The Democrats wouldn't look at me. They were fuming. It was beautiful. I have been in the Legislature for five tough years, and this made it all worthwhile..

The House majority leader wouldn't talk to me the rest of the day.


Your statement is not supported by Harvey's statement.

Absolutely! And we may soon see Christians persecuted like they currently are in China.
