Just because she's a teeny tiny "clump of cells" doesn't make her any less significant than your or I. She is alive. And our society has deemed it OK, even the norm, to kill this baby because it's not convenient for us and our lives.

You are trying so hard to change everyone's minds. Let people be. Allow in the ones who need your help, but also allow the others to be set free. You can't control the world, but you CAN be there for those who are looking for the help you so desire to give. You are fighting a losing battle.

There is nothing you could do to make me feel otherwise. That's why choice is so important.

For instance, you think I'm disgusting and I think the same of you for telling me what you think of me. Who wins? What greater good does this do? Do you feel better about yourself?

I am in the right to life group at my parish and we were just discussing the fact that we are going to have to be willing to really put ourselves on the line for the unborn.
