Pissin’ off the public
I’ve lovingly dubbed myself “The Pro-life Pill.” Everytime you think I’ve stepped off my pro-life soap box, I get back up there and holler some more. Well, now I’m writing letters to the editor so I can reach a more vast audience than just you folks. See? I’m spreading around the irritation so you don’t have to bear this burden alone. (I’m like hemorrhoids with no Preparation H.)
Our Planned Parenthood has been giving out the “medical abortion” drug known as RU-486 and our local pro-life community just caught wind of it.
Well, you know how I like to make a fuss for the pro-life community. So I’m pissin’ off the public now.
Here’s my letter, like it or not. (But I still love you even if you don’t like it.)
Dear Editor:
Our pets have more credence than our children. Where’s my proof in such a bold statement? Well dear friends, by now you’ve certainly seen the many billboards around town with a picture of a sad puppy and the caption, “I died today. Nobody wanted me.” It’s a tear-jerking thought that so many animals are unwanted, unloved and eventually killed due to an unmaintainable number at the local shelter. To a cold hearted few, they’re simply “animals” who have no place in the world and are better off dead. However, to the soft hearted animal lovers, it’s a beautiful orphan in need of love and comfort.
Funny- I can imagine another cold hearted breed who consider human life to be a “creature which has no place” in their world. The local Planned Parenthood has begun supplying our scared and confused pregnant females with a controversial drug known as RU-486. They ignorantly call it “Medical Abortion”, however medicine is designed to heal and cure. This so-called “medicine” only kills. (In some cases, it has killed the mother as well as the developing infant.) That certainly sounds like a hard pill to swallow.
This pill is only recommended by the manufacturer through the ninth week of pregnancy. (Although abortion clinics have misguidedly handed it out in later weeks and caused even more severe health issues.) In developmental terms: even though you’ve barely found out you’re pregnant, your baby already has tiny developing fingers and toes, four divided chambers of a beating heart and tiny external sex organs. As I stated before, to a cold hearted few this is not a true human being, it’s only “a mass of tissue” or “a woman’s right to choose.” But to those of us who know that every child is precious, it’s a beautiful baby in need of love and comfort. It’s a child waiting for a chance at life. It’s a son or daughter to a family who is looking to adopt.
If you’re pregnant, scared, confused or looking for a way to offer your child a better life than you feel you can afford to give them, you have more options than just abortion- options that are better for you as well as the baby.

This is a subject were, to paraphrase ‘Extremism in the defense of life is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue’
Nice.
I love when you get on your soapbox.
You know my heart in all this.
beautifully written. your example that you started with is perfect. so many people can’t relate to a fetus but can relate to a cute little animal. true story: when my sister meredith was in high school, she and her science lab partner were dissecting a fetal pig. these tiny piglets are fully developed and look just like you’d imagine they would’ve had they been born alive. meredith’s lab partner was affected by this and talked about how sad it was that the little pigs had never had a chance to live. meredith quietly and calmly asked “what do you think an abortion is? those babies have never had a chance to live either.” her lab partner told her that that exact moment was when her opinion of abortion reversed.
That’s what’s so cool about you. Even when you’re sticking to you beliefs (which you get major brownie points for by the way) you’re still cool with everyone else who might believe something different.
I’m curious about this new pill people are popping. How long has Planned Parenthood been handing it out? Looks like I need to update myself on the issue. Stupid election took my attention away from everything else.
Yay for Bunny! Poop on Planned Parenthood
yeah it was only a matter of time before the planned parenthood stocked up on the murder drug stock. i hate the fact the man that supports this “fundamental” bs of a partial birth abortion aka murder. i swear its called keep it in your pants if ya dont want a kid or dont be a fool wrap the tool. for crying out loud ive always been one for safe sex or no sex. and im not goin there because i know ya dont wanna here my opinion on sex haha. i go to far on it lol… anyways i support ya bunny and i believe we should all wear “POOP ON PLANNED PARENTHOOD” t-shirts in protest. michelles post comment gave me the idea haha. i just took it farther with soft cotton on snuggly bodies lol
Excellently written, and you make a very cogent argument. I’ll be surprised if your letter doesn’t appear in the paper.
wonderfully written! stay up on that soapbox!
