My comments on A Saturday morning contemplation:
Is it really so important to ’separate yourself out’ from other pro-lifers? Do you think it makes so much difference to those indifferent to life? Do you really care so much what difficulties people have in appreciating your views.
The prejudices they claim against certain ‘types’ of pro-lifers, are really just extra ‘buffer’ between themselves and self-awareness. The battle to appreciate life has hardly anything at all to do with how easy you are on the palate. Its an internal struggle that they have spent a lifetime ‘not’ coming to terms with.
The more ways the truth is told, the more people will ‘wake up’ to the reality of abortion. Some are persuaded by fear and love of God, some by personal tragedy, some by punishing shows of real consequences and some by intellectual reconciliation. All are legitimate . Most of us go through similar ostracization and shunning. Its the sacrifice necessary to accomplish good. A fact of being human.
I thought ‘Horton Hears a Who’ had a pro-life message (the book - I haven’t seen the film) and my kids did too. They did, because all the family members they know and love, and the Church ladies, and their homeschooled friends, are involved in ‘life’ advocacy - one way or another. Its at the forefront of their consciousness, and they relate the evening news, and their history lessons to it the same way. On their own, from their own hearts and minds. We (my husband and I) are now watching the fourth generation be born and grow up ABSOLUTELY for life. This is how Canada will change. Extrapolating the numbers of pro-lifers being born the next few generations might even accomplish the change demographically! (I’m KIND of kidding…no pun intended!)
