Words to live byIt is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Violence is not pro-life. To
Violence is not pro-life. To be pro-life means to use legal, peaceful means to change laws regarding abortion. It means compassionate non-judgmental care for women. I am dismayed that such an implication would be made about my beliefs and want to be very clear that the pro-life movement is not violent or subversive.
On a different note, I am struck by the suspicion with which religious articles like salt and oil are regarded.

Adopting a "nice" tone does not actually make you or your actions nice.
The reason that many of us think pro-lifers can be violent is because that it the truth. The "non-judgemental" care offered to women is often misleading, at best.
And, really, I don't care if you slather yourself with salt and oil. Just keep it to yourself. And off of me and mine and out of, for one place, public schools.
And quit pretending that you are only trying to "help." If some young girl wants your "help," she shouldn't have any problem finding a church. Finding affordable healthcare and/or childcare -- that's another thing.
