Campaign for UNHealthy Families cost Obama a vote
This from the Rapid City Journal today, a Letter to the Editor…
I would like to comment on the Campaign for Healthy Families people who visited my home today (8/4), and tried to get me to vote against the upcoming abortion bill. I politely stated that I was adopted, and I absolutely support this antiabortion bill. One of the visitors made this snide remark, and I quote: “Well hopefully your birth mom got either a refund or a rain-check to try again later?” That comment was not only incredibly rude, but I took it as a threat. It also reinforces my stance even more on this issue. I will 120 percent be voting to enact this new abortion ban now. Sorry guys, but that’s not the way to win over supporters. Further, it also reinforces my belief that liberals are not good people. They are angry, bitter people who bow to special interests and believe that killing babies and allowing gay marriage is the right thing to do. Ann Coulter was right, liberalism is a religion that must be stamped out of existence. I was going to vote for Obama, but not anymore. Congratulations campaign for healthy families, you really did a good job on this one! Healthy families indeed — what hypocrites.

I'm hopeful as these anti-life activists continue to go door to door that their true colors come forth loud and clear. The only way they can win is if they are successful concealing who they really are and what they are really about or, if we are unsuccessful in shattering the respectability facade Planned Parenthood continues to hide behind.

Thank you for generalizing the entire campaign based on one unprofessional volunteer. I'm sure there is no unprofessionalism on the pro-life side.

I second what Kendrin said! I had my Vote No On 6 sign destroyed *three times* during the 2006 campaign. I hardly think that qualifies as "professional."
Also, it's more than possible to have been adopted AND be pro-choice. I was adopted at one month of age. I understand that while adoption might have been a good choice for my biological mother, it just doesn't make sense to say that it would work for everyone.

Anonymous states "…it just doesn't make sense to say that it (adoption v. abortion) would work for everyone." I'd say It makes sense for all the kids who get to live because of ADOPTION, versus the kids who die because of abortion.
So I guess my question to "anonymous" would be: What, in your opinion, makes you more worthy of life than any other child conceived? I'm sincere in my asking. Shouldn't every other child created in less than perfect circumstances also have a chance to live out their destiny? Elective abortion is the only situation where an arbitrary death sentence is handed down to those whose only offense is that they are inconvenient. I notice how you, who were given the opportunity by your birth mom to live out your unique life, claim that you are pro-choice. I don't wonder that you can't make the same claim about your birth mom. She gave you this wondrous gift of life, yet you cannot find the quality of mercy within yourself to extend the same to all the other inconvenient children conceived.
Have you ever heard of the Judas goat?
Annonymous (again) @ 6:07 pm
I'm not so naive as to think anyone's mind has been (or ever will be) changed because of any comment on any blog. My point, very simply is:
1. I was adopted.
2. I am pro-choice.
It's possible.

So, anonymous - your answer…
Is a nonanswer. This is what we are pretty much used to from pro-aborts. When faced with the truth - you have nothing to say.
