ComPassion needs to study gynecology

There are many sinister mistakes in ComPassion's statements. They're sinister because the ban-abortion policy behind them destroys freedom. Conception proceeds in stages. Embryo, fetus, baby--they differ in number of cells. Abortion surgeons stop cell division--that's all. They aren't performing devilish deeds. They're providing a medical service for people who have nothing to do with ComPassion. The comment says "AMERICA is killing the unborn," as if Uncle Sam's in a surgery mask, waving a scalpel. Ban-Abortion propaganda is designed to appeal to believers like ComPassion. We see how successful it is.

ComPassion =sounds like Richard Viguerie massmail

Richard Viguerie makes millions with his computerized mass mail business. He sends alerts to Ban-Abortionists and other Far Right extremists. He gets them to flood phones of lawmakers, send tons of letters and post Pro-Life propaganda on the Web. With Catholic W. Buckley, he began "Young Americans for Freedom" YAF 1961. It decreased freedom. Some YAF girls conceived and were forced to bear children.aa He's involved with target advertising--that system that keeps track of what we buy. He began "Conservative Digest" that says "Big Government is Bad," but wants to waste taxes by having civil government enforce church laws banning abortion. Canon 2350 bans abortion and until Roe v Wade it was enforced against all Americans. Why do some churches ban abortion? Because every conception might become a believer who will pay ten percent of lifetime income to support preachers. Pro-Life means "Keep the tithes coming."

Human Life is Important:

Every Human Life is important.

Every Human Life should be respected.

Every Human Life should be protected.

Every Human Life is equal.

We should love every Human Life.

We should not kill.

You stats are proof that many people do not understand what Abortion actually is. It is war against love.

Abortion is war against Love and Human Life.

Abortion is wrong because it kills a Human Life.

There is no reason that justifies this:

- 3800 unborn babies killed a day in America.

- 1.3 Million unborn babies killed in America each year.

- More than 45 Million unborn babies killed since 1973.

Most people don't know the stats and facts about abortion. Do a poll to ask how many people know the abortion stats. It is not published because it is so ugly.

The ugly truth is America is killing the unborn, unprotected, innocent, defenseless, poorest, weakest, and least of our people (our unborn children).

Every Human Life is important.

God Bless You And Your Family

The 2009 off-year elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York's 23d Congressional District offer a small snapshot of the current views and motivations of the American electorate. While there may be a desire to extrapolate the events of Nov. 3, 2009 into a prediction of what will happen on Nov. 2, 2010, that is impossible.
