kujo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) [quote name='fides quarens intellectum' post='1645839' date='Sep 2 2008, 10:54 PM']well, Kujo, we'll discuss it when you get back, okay? [/quote] You can't be serious. I resent your insinuation that I am [i]in any conceivable way[/i] pro-choice. Just because I don't support your actions [b]DOES NOT[/b] make me pro-choice. I am pro-life, from conception to natural death. I am thoroughly opposed to abortion and have attended the March for Life for 3 consecutive years to voice that opposition. I have participated in peaceful abortion protests--in front of abortion mills, in the court yard of my high school, around my college campus-- and have endured numerous slanders against my name for proudly proclaiming my pro-life stance by wearing t-shirts, putting stickers on my backpack and folders. Finally, I have taken any chance I could get to minister to and have used my area of study to provide criticism of all legal aspects of [i]Roe v. Wade[/i] and the litany of other SCOTUS cases dealing with abortion. I don't say this to receive accolades, but to point out that I am NOT pro-choice. Get your facts straight, my dear friend. We are on the same side. Don't mistake my opposition to the way you and your comrades protest for animosity.

dominicansoul Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) [quote]Don't mistake my opposition to the way you and your comrades protest for animosity.[/quote] They didn't protest for animosity!!! They protested the Democrat's being 100% backers of infanticide and baby-killing. We've already discussed this over and over again. Why do you insist on carping about FQI and co.'s protest being some how illegal and against just laws? They were protesting AGAINST the UNJUST LAW of ABORTION my friend. And if you don't have a problem with that, why do you insist on bringing up your opinion that it was an unjust protest? It wasn't. They weren't blocking entrances. The Dems could go in and out of the 10 other entrances to that place. I don't understand why you seek to gain attention away from the heart of the matter. Why do you do that? And Pro-ABORTION groups do protests at the RNC all the time. Except you don't hear about it from the media because they are biased and won't mention anything that puts Abortion and the industry and it's evil minions in a bad light. How would I feel if Pro-abortionists protested like FQI and co. at the RNC? I would feel badly for them, for the dangers they put their souls in. They will have to answer to God for all the efforts they put in to continue supporting the slaughter of the innocents in this country. As for FQI and co. they have done more than I can say I have these last weeks for the Pro-life cause. Their protest actually netted some results, helping to awaken some women to the facts on the matter. I think this is something I would rather look at than, to continue to bring up FQI's "breaking" the law like a sour broken record.

SaintOlaf Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've had an interesting experience surrounding this whole event. One of the girls that I work with, Diana, went to the DNC with her family. Diana is a young democrat, eager for change, gung-ho about Barack Obama and absolutely 100% pro-choice. I worked with Diana over this past weekend, where she showed pictures and told stories of the convention, all to eager listeners who were curious about who she saw speak, and what she thought of the whole thing. Eventually she mentioned the protests, and the one that took her off guard. I asked Diana about this protest in particular, what about it took her off guard, why did it make such an impact? Her reply was that these people, were completely cooperative with the authorities, and prayed throughout the whole ordeal. Why were they so cooperative? Why was their protest different than the others? Why were there priests involved? By this time it had already dawned on me that this was the same protest that our very own Fides was arrested as a part of. I began to explain to her the reasoning behind it, and the necessity to get the message out, to as many people as possible, and the only way to do that effectively was what they did. I've been evangelizing Diana for almost 6 months now, she had never really responded to anything I said, except to disagree. Since the DNC and seeing how much passion, how much love for life, even life they've never met, she has been far more receptive to the Gospel message. Please, everyone, pray for Diana. And thank Fides for making a stand for what is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
