Turbo, I know you agreed with Bob's letter to James Dobson, but that was nothing more than an attempt to grab audience share--and it was seen as such by the pro-abortion side. This kind of behavior may gain Bob audience share at Dobson's expense, but the overall pro-life influence is diminished.
I believe he was trying to influence James Dobson to change his strategy in shaping politics. I dont see how it diminished pro-life influence.
Turbo, I say to you that one cannot eliminate abortion at the national level, the state level, or the municipal level by illegalizing it. The only way abortion will ever be eliminated is at the individual level, and this will not be accomplished by waving bloody posters around and telling abortion workers and clinic patients how evil they are. Abortion will never be eliminated by writing laws against it: it will only be eliminated by changing the hearts of the people, one heart at a time. This change of heart cannot be imposed by law, authority, or threat: it will only occur when that individual meets God.
Justin, from what I've read from you before, you seem to be a fairly reasonable person, BUT . . . try to read what you posted here and replace the word "abortion" with "murder." Isn't that the pro-life postion? Abortion is murder. Fewer abortions are better than more abortions. Abortion will not be eliminated by making it illegal, but that is no excuse.
