Personal\u00a0opposition to abortion is\u00a0a first important\u00a0step\u00a0towards becoming\u00a0pro-life.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, do you believe that life begins at conception?\u00a0There are many reasons to believe this. Many scientists, doctors, philosophers, ethicists, Christians, Muslims, Jews and even atheists believe it. It&#8217;s not\u00a0exactly a religious question after all.\u00a0It&#8217;s an important question and\u00a0if\u00a0human life\u00a0does begin\u00a0at conception, than we every right and obligation to defend it.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, do you want to see abortion go away\u00a0forever everywhere?\u00a0It&#8217;s one thing to think it and quite another to say it.\u00a0If abortion is a violation of a child&#8217;s right to live, and wrong for one person, that\u00a0it&#8217;s wrong for every person. People have a right and perhaps\u00a0even an obligation to make a public stand for what they believe is right.\u00a0That&#8217;s why &#8220;pro-life minions&#8221; publicly challenge the idea that anyone has a legal right to acquire an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0the original inspiring posting from\u00a0the &#8220;Abortioneers&#8221;,\u00a0an ardent abortion advocate wrote the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Somewhere between the man-crazies who are somewhat, simply corralled into one, large lump of woman-haters, Anti-Anti\u2019s sexy antis, the nuns, and the innocent children antis\u2014there perched, is a Lila Rose, and her dozen or so minions, hell-bent on clawing abortion\u2019s eyes out.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The pro-life movement is about one person and one person alone; the unborn person. While\u00a0Lila Rose has become a prominent voice in the pro-life movement, her presence is but a\u00a0reminder to\u00a0the abortion establishment of a long coming defeat. Like American abolitionists who fought slavery, whose views were controversial in their early struggles, a new kind of abolitionist works for the end of abortion in America.<a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mom-chose-pro-life.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2345\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 15px;\" title=\"mom-chose-pro-life\" alt=\"Mom Chose Pro-Life Shirt\" src=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mom-chose-pro-life.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The number of pro-life\u00a0minions are more than a dozen. We are more than\u00a0mere numbers\u00a0in opinion polls.\u00a0We are the souls and citizens who give abortion advocates migraines. We are people who truthfully would like to see abortion finally and decisively vanish from the landscape of human society.\u00a038 years ago, we\u00a0were told abortion would be safe and rare.\u00a0We&#8217;ve been told many things about abortion, most untrue. It&#8217;s time for an end to the endless lies.<\/p>\n<p>The following was also written about Lila Rose. It&#8217;s the sort of rant that many pro-life minions encounter.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>However pretty or presidential or conniving or meditating Lila Rose and her blah blah mission to save innocent life may be, if she were walking into any medical arena other than the ever-non-judgmental and accommodating world of reproductive justice, she\u2019d be slapped with the paranoid schizoid label and medicated into a California corner where she could write, unplanned parenthood, all over the walls into eternity.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Non-judgmental? Accommodating?\u00a0There is no tolerance in these words, or charity for that matter.\u00a0What I see however, is person immersed in\u00a0a culture of abortion who&#8217;s never been shown real tolerance or charity. The person who believes that abortion is good is simply another victim.\u00a0We must work for all of abortion&#8217;s victims.\u00a0We must persevere. We must run\u00a0the race to the finish and never\u00a0tire or waver. Victory is at hand.<\/p>\n<p>God bless you all, fine pro-life minions,<\/p>\n<p>Brian F.
