Great post, Dan. Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't know this about Mrs. Shriver. Found out about your post in a comment on a blog I wrote about doing the right thing. Thanks for your work.

I was so amazed to read about Eunice and Sargent Shriver's stand on Abortion. They truly lived what they believed. Their actions were consistent with their words. I recently read a comment from Maria Shriver about what her father required of them when they came home from College on Summer Break. He wanted them involved in service to others. It would be wonderful to see their legacy of grace and compassion come to the for front as a role model for the Nation. What a hidden blessing.

A tough fight when the liberal press is pro abortion and pro sin. Nothing is ever wrong anymore unless it is Christianity. Soon if not now God will have enough of it and this country will go the way of all of the great nations who became anti God. Pray that this this not happen while you are alive or suffer the consequence.

I had no idea that FFL, SBA & DFL

were supported by

a member of the Kennedy family.

I'm very glad to hear of it :)

Muser- not even being anti-war?

Did not know the full extent of Eunice Kennedy Shriver's commitment. Really appreciate learning how dedicated and selfless she was.

First. Abortion destroys a new cell, a new person!! Babys are a blessings. Your new baby excities me. Kids excite me. But it is wrong to destroy a new person especially a new baby. It is tough outthere because some persons choose unrighteous lawsuits and fighting. And Gov allows unrighteousness so it is scary and tough. Thank you to Miss or Mrs Shriveres supporters. Please create a law that is about that any Male that promotes an abortion idea, if has a girlfriend,then that pregnant girlfriend is not allowed to get an abortion. Mean girls and bullyed girls is a major reason. It is a big matter. It is a religiuos matter.Which the Us constitutuion and Bill of rights protects religiuos ideas. A new cell nerve is a fact. Please protest evil communist ideas. As a group. If financially possible, quit your job to stop anti caring ideas or people? Thank you for your time.psa99:9-outside pray. col 3:11. Choose righteousness not self righteousness. 1 corinth 14:26. God likes his likers. God is probably 50 ft righteous angel.

certainly also earned the right for us to respect her opinion against abortion. There are more pro-life liberals than you might think. But they're not "single issue" folks---liberals never are.
