young girls and women, not through protests and seemingly jack booted techniques. Through setting a good example for our Daughters and guiding the young people we are blessed to work with toward a moral life.
You win nothing by FIGHTING per se ... not by passing laws and self-righteously preach "guilt trips" in front of Abortion Clinics ... We achieve success (significantly lower the rate of abortion) by quality attention to (thoughtful tracking on their activities) our young people and proper moral guidance. ;)
If only we could capture some of the seemingly zealot anti-abortionists' zeal and direct it toward social injustice? Now then we could address all kinds of inequality ... we could truly express our love and caring for the poor and disenfranchised of this world. <soulful sigh>
