Hi I believe I am 100% pro life, unfortunately I recently had a ruptured ectopic and was told I had 1 hour to live, I refused to have any emergency surgery until I spoke to a Cathoilc Priest. The priest told me there was no choice but to go through surgery it was the baby’s death or the baby’s and my death. I believe this was God speaking through the priest.

So I should have let myself die (hemmorage to death) with my ectopic pregnancy, and left my other 2 children without a mother? That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. Walk a mile in my shoes, then judge me.

Exactly, militarywife. They always claim knowledge to matters they know little about and I’m glad the gals here know enough to refute it.

I agree about Randy Alcorn. I have a calendar with his beautiful words about heaven and it blessed me greatly; I look foreward to reading the book “Tell me about heaven”. As long as I know his past of literally forcing his views on others is over, I can forgive him and just enjoy his writing. Everyone does something stupid in their life. Just look at me and the Pearls: I like them and enjoy some of their sources, inspite of the fact that I totally disagree with some of their past writings.

Jennifer,

How many babies are born attached to women’s bowels that don’t kill her and somehow survive?

There is a reason stories like this make the news and it’s because they are uncommon. Apparently Mr. Phillips and Ms. Shoe have no knowledge of basic medicine and the woman’s reproductive system. Babies are supposed to be in the UTERUS!

I really don’t know about Mr. Alcorn, as I have never met him personally. I only know a few things:

1. I don’t agree with his report on birth control being abortifacient because all the research he cites is either outdated or unreliable (because of small sampling). This is my stats background speaking.

2. I believe that his intentions, initially, were good in the pro-life movement. However, I think that the more he begun to think about abortion (and how the majority of abortions are not for rape, incest, or life of the mother), the more he became enraged about it. I think that is why he started the whole “human barrier” thing which I do think took abortion protesting to an extreme.

3. I think he is a good writer and he doesn’t strike me as a Doug Phillips type that exalts himself above everyone. I think that he just let his anger against abortion get the best of him and hurt him in more ways than one. I believe he is a godly man, but I do respectfully disagree with him on his method of “peaceful” protesting (which I hope he’s abandoned) as well as his view on chemical birth control.

“A baby born in 2000 was attached to the mother’s bowel”

My God! I don’t think I ever caught that line before. How horrid

Yes thank you, militarywifey. I’ve felt feral satisfaction before, though I never thought I’d feel it against this man in those circumstances. What he went through, from prison to personal life to almost financial ruin, was perfectly fitting to his crime. The only thing impressive about him in that regard was the size of his monstrous pride: sacrificing his family’s comfort and risking possible financial ruin for his own personal cause. I recall the words about his wife, “She despised being the object of others’ sympathy. “I wanted to take people aside and say, ‘You know, we’re not nuts.’ ” Yes you were, sweetie, and I don’t sympathize with you but pity you. Glad your husband (hopefully) grew up.

Thanks MilitaryWifey. I actually met Randy Alcorn at a clinic protest once. He’s a pretty impressive guy. I don’t recall when the RICO Act was first used against clinic protestors, but it was after 1990, so it is my impression from this article that these were civil suits and not Federal penalties.
