Maybe a coincidence and nothing to do with Obama getting in office but the other day my wife gets a big mailing from planned parenthood asking for donations and for us to take a survey. One of the questions asked us how we viewed a statement which essentially called anyone against abortion as being a “pro-life extremist”? We have not received anything from planned parenthood in years…if ever?

They asked for a donation and even asked us to place a stamp on the envelope even though it was postage paid as in doing so it would help them even more.

We did not reply but I made sure to mail the envelope with nothing in it so as to make them pay the postage. I guess when they receive the blank envelope they will assume that a “pro-life extremist” received it?

I’d much rather be known as a pro-life extremist than a “facilitator of murder”. You know, I’d bet money Jesus was a “pro-life extremist” too!
 
A friend of mine used to stuff those pre paid envelopes w/ pro life literature. She’s an extremist, I suppose 👍 .
 
Pro-life extremist?

Okay, let’s come up with a new term for the pro-life movement 🙂

How about…pro-family?
 
Think I’ll get a bumper sticker. If they want to call me an extremist–that’s okay. I am “extreme” in my desire to protect human life. There is no middle ground–if that is extreme to the death-mongers at Planned Parenthood and to our relativistic society, so be it.

I got a Planned Parenthood survey 10 years ago when I still had an American Express card–I found out that was where PP got my name and address. Ever heard of a book called, “How to Lie With Statistics?” Well, there was absolutely no way the survey could be answered in a manner that suggested I was Pro-Life. It just worded the questions to sound as if 99.9999 percent of the American population was convinced that abortion rights is the most sacrosanct concern of every man, woman, and child on the planet. Absolutely disgusting! I used the address on the survey and wrote a letter back to them telling them in no uncertain terms what I thought of their survey and demanded that they take me off their mailing list. I also pointed out that I had not paid any attention to their request to put a stamp on their “postage free” envelope in order to save them a few cents. Petty, I know. I also cancelled my American Express account. When I told the little girl on the other end why, she got off the phone in a hurry. I’m sure she thought I was a loon (or an extremist,) but I didn’t care. Don’t throw the survey away. Write back to PP and tell them you are ProLife and that it will be a cold day in hell before you donate one red cent to their crimes against humanity.
 
:rolleyes: The longer I stick around this world the more it seems to me there are two kinds: life-lovers and death-lovers. They will never understand each other. Those who love death will never understand that the majority love life and they will never have a clue why we would. They call babies “noisy and smelly”, and see no other traits in babies. They call wanting to go on living “extremist” and have no concept of what extreme distortion of mind it takes to reject life itself. They treat an inconvenient and surprise-filled life as far worse than none at all and can’t fathom why they have such a small audience.
I believe now that the core of the death-pushing movements is a small elite that is so far removed from normal life that it doesn’t know it’s an elite at all. Imagine believing the world owes you a predictable schedule, even if some smaller people die to ensure that predictability. That’s the underlying assumption in those mailings.
 
I just encountered a new (to me) term in several places on the internet today. They are now calling us “forced-birthers”! What do you think of that one?

Speaking of bumper stickers, I saw one on a car in town on Monday. It said “Who Would Jesus Bomb?” They had a “Proud Obama Supporter” sticker on their car too.

I wanted so badly to write out “Who Would Jesus Abort?” and put it under their windshield wiper but I didn’t have any paper and the car was gone when I came out of the store.
 
The poisoned fruit of the evil tree. Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger who advocated eugenics and thought that forced abortions and euthanasia for the “lessers” was the best way to keep the nation pure.

I’d mail it back with a note telling them that you are a pro-life extremist and that since they are a facilitator of murder that you would rather they didn’t contact you anymore…and I wouldn’t put a stamp on it either, let them pay for it
 
Maybe I just see things differently because I spent so many years in a Congregation where probably half of them were Pro-Choice and no one griefed them about it.

I don’t see it as pro-family vs pro-abortion etc… sometimes we get way too worked up in the verbiage.

There truth is there are some mean nasty people out there… but that’s not most of the people who are Pro-Choice nor even those who chose to have an abortion.

The truth is that there are good Christian people who love God and try to do His will but TRULY believe that life doesn’t begin at conception. If they don’t believe that then abortion is not murder to them.

HOW someone can believe that of course is something I can’t understand… but that’s beside the point.

The true problem is ignorance IMHO.

For rational people who have been taught all their life that life beings at week 28 or something of pregnancy or whatever, we seem unrational.

We probably do seem like extremest because we believe something very outside the norm (70% of Americans are Pro-Choice) but you know what, I’m ok with that.

What I believe we need to do though is work on education, press for more scientific publications etc… because that is how we are going to change the minds of those other people.

That… and Prayer of course!

Really? I thought it was 50/50. I know most Americans think abortion should be legal in at least rare instances(rape and life of the mother), but I thought when it comes most abortion the percentage drops dramatically.
 
You could always put a few tea spoons of icing sugar in one of those envolopes (don’t put on a stamp) and send it back…

Of course, I’m sure there are some laws that action breaks… tee hee hee…
 
Did any of you see or read about the debate with Christopher Hitchens recently? I can’t remember who the apologist was (was linked off NewAdvent) but it sounds like it went well.

The interesting part, if you don’t know Hitchens is an outspoken atheist, I thought was his comment about life…

“Hitchens then explained that he finds it “extraordinarily objectionable” to exclude the “occupant of the womb” from the human family”

Maybe we need to have him write a paper on why he believe’s that because I’m certain that there would be nothing religious in it but just scientific.

I’ll check on the number again, last I heard it was like 70% but I’ll verify that. I’m sure multiple polls say multiple things.

Interestingly enough, Hitchens has a conservative, ProLife brother in England. Believe he may be a Christian, also. He is not as well known, of course!

I don’t know about New Zealand, but if you did that in the US, you would end up in jail.

I know it was a joke, but that isn’t something to joke about.

What you can do, if you don’t want to write a letter is to stuff all the junk mail you get for a week into the prepaid envelope. Really just stuff it full. Then mail it. Let them pay all the postage.

I received a huge envelope from NOW for the first Bush election.
I had in a prior year voted in the dem primary, to try and keep
the worst candidate out and from that point on received all sorts
of dem literature. I won’t ever do that again. Anyway, it was all
very expensive stuff. It enclosed a postage paid envelope so I
stuffed it with a lot of junk mail and made it as heavy as I could,
then sent it back. Never got any of their junk again.
 
You’d bet money Jesus was a pro-life extremist? Jesus did good deeds, he didn’t waste his time posting threads on Catholic.com complaining about Planned Parenthood. 👍
 
Just fold up a big, wall-poster-size photo of a dismembered 15-week baby with some choice quotes from the pro-life heroes of the ages including our own, scrawl, “Nice try, pro-death extremists” across the back and mail without postage.
