It's time for Pro-Life Unity It is time to stop trying to please those who oppose life. We try to blend in or not make waves to appeal to the masses in so many different ways. To name a few: > We try to not be too "Christian" > We try to not be so "conservative" > We try to appeal to Democrats > We are constantly arguing with people who disagree with us > We try to skirt around the health of the mother, life of the mother issue We don't have to defend our position. People who are for abortion or do nothing to help end it are turning their backs on the killing of human beings. We don't choose to do that. It's that simple!
