A Question of Strategy for Pro-Lifers

We in the pro-life movement have got a decision to make.
If this were a football game, it would be the fourth quarter with one second on the clock. We, the Lifers, trail the Choicers by three points. We’re on their goal line. It’s fourth down. And, it’s the Superbowl.

Do we go for the field goal and the tie, in hopes of sending the game into overtime?

Or, do we run a play and go for the touchdown and the win?

Welcome to the debate within the pro-life movement between those who support the National
Right to Life and their desire to kick the field goal of keeping abortion “safe, legal, and rare” until a more opportune time to challenge Roe, and those who support the Thomas More Law Center who want to go for the touchdown—and the win—of ending abortion on demand through all three trimesters now.


VERY interesting article!

Thanks, Sis. Very good article indeed.

Whatever the answer to the author's two questions, one thing you can rest assured: feminazis will fight it, tooth and nail. They sustain that a woman will never have the same rights as men, as long as women are "burdened" with maternity. There is nothing that justifies feminazis' loathing for their own gender so much as maternity.

A Question of Strategy for Pro-Lifers: Part Two

Last week I wrote, “We in the pro-life movement have got a decision to make. If this were a football game, it would be the fourth quarter with one second on the clock. We, the Lifers, trail the Choicers by three points. We’re on their goal line. It’s fourth down. And, it’s the Super Bowl.

Well, I’ve now made my decision. I’m going to kick the field goal because we’re not on their goal line—we’re on their 30-yard line. And, the smartest head coach in the country says we don’t even have a play that can get us into the end zone. We’ve got to kick.

I believe that the pro-life movement could prevent more abortions in the long run by investing the same energy and resources into convincing people not to have them, supporting alternatives, and participating in anti-teen-pregnancy programs that their adversaries in the pro-choice movement would happily join forces to participate in.
