Dear friend of life,
Greetings from the Pro-life Witness project!
I was inspired by an e-mail that April from North Carolina sent to her friends, and I wanted to share some of it with you:
"I may not know your political view. I may not know your view on abortion. I may not know your religion, but I think I know you well enough to know that you would not stand for the murder of children right here in America!"
April sent this e-mail to her friends and family - something that most people are reluctant or even afraid to do. Her message encouraged them to watch a video about "live birth abortions" and how Barak Obama's refused to offer protection for babies who survive these abortions - and who are left to die in a terrible form of infanticide.
April stepped past her comfort zone, past any reluctance to engage in a controversial topic, and boldly sent out the e-mail without counting the costs.
Now, I have to say that I've received plenty of e-mails on this issue from those who are already strongly pro-life - but if all we are doing is sending these e-mails to one another, then we are preaching to the choir! We aren't the ones who need convincing that Obama is the worst threat to human life!
So I'm asking you to follow April's example and to step outside of your comfort zone. I'm asking you today to send an e-mail message to friends, family, colleagues, sales associates - anyone you've ever e-mailed or received non abortion related messages from - and ask them to watch a video on this topic.
You see, if you won't be a pro-life witness to these people, who will? And if our Internet outreach is limited to those who are passionately pro-life, how are we really going help prevent Obama from being elected?
So please, I'm asking you to write a message to all of your friends, family, associates, colleagues - whoever you have an e-mail address for, and ask them to visit this link:

You can even copy April's message above and add this link, or write an e-mail something along the lines of :
I'm not sure where you stand on this, but please watch the video on this page - and forward this message to your friends, family members, and colleagues:
(You can copy and paste that passage into a new e-mail, or forward the message I'll be sending you that has the subject "I'm not sure where you stand on this...")
Please know that you are still needed to be a witness on the streets and at the doors and parking lots of the Churches in your community. It is vital that you help distribute the fliers that are available on the links from website at as many Churches between now and election day.
Please visit our new fliers and poster page today to download the fliers and find out how you can have order them for local pickup in your home town (via Staples.com).
Can you commit to downloading the fliers, having them printed, and distributing them on Sunday, the 14th of September? And can you recruit friends and family to help you do this?
Finally, do you need an idea of what Churches are in your community? You can use the yellow pages to find Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Evangelical, and other pro-life Churches. Also, you can find all of the Roman Catholic parishes in your area, along with their schedule of masses, at http://www.masstimes.org/dotnet/default.aspx
If you haven't already, please sign up today at prolifewitness.com for information on an upcoming teleconference in September.

What is the difference between legalizing abortion and sending our troops to die in foriegn wars?
Yep lets bring another child in this world, and then don't feed it, don't give it an education, and of course no Health Care. You can't force a women to love and care for a Baby that she is force to bring to term. You don't want this child, You don't want to pay to raise it through Goverment programs you call entitlements. You treat these Babies like trash. Yea let them be born so the Mother can drown then one by one in the Bathtub.
The difference is intent. Troops do not occupy a country for the spacific purpose of killing the inhabitents, thier intent is to obtain a military objective. Assumme the worst case conspiricy scenario- U.S troops are in Iraq for the oil. Although unlikley, the Iraqi people could say "OK ,take all the oil, we will not oppose you" and thus the intent of getting oil would be met without killing anyone.
The intent of abortion is to kill the child. The child does not have the option of saying " OK, I will go back to not existing" and thus the intent of the abortionist and consenting mother is murder.
And many millions of women in third world countires do just that- bring a child into the world with no gaurantee of food, little prospect of education and no healthcare- without finding the need to drown them in a bathtub later.
Your view indicates a position it is more important to avoid the possibility suffering and inconvienice by aborting the child. How do you know ,through all the suffering, that the child is not destined to become a great leader or philanthropist?
Political case in point. Bridgitte McCain. Bridgette's bilological mother in Bangladesh gave birth to Bridgette and either could not support or did not love the child possibly due to the physical deformaties Bridgette had as an infant. Bridgette's biological mother gave her to Mother Theresa's orphanage. Along comes Cindy McCain (devine providence?) who adopts Bridgette, takes her to the US pays for may surgeries to fix Bridgettes deformity and loves the child as one of her family. Now- could the Bangladeshi woman who gave birth to Bridgette ever imagine that the baby girl would be phisically repaired and live in the richest country in the world with educational oportunities that are not available in Bangldesh? Probably not in her wildest dreams. And 30 years from now, President Bridgette McCain? Who knows?
So is it really justified to murder long term possible greatness, in order to avoid short term possible (or even probable) suffering?
