    Ok, so I’m pretty ticked off right now. And offended.  Today at my school, there was a Women’s Studies class handing out flyers and holding posters saying “God Save the Pu***** (I think that’s how it’s spelled)”.  It was a pro choice demonstration.  Brought on by a faculty member and their class! And if putting God’s name with that disrespectful of a word for that part of a woman’s body, on the flyer was a cartoon that involved one woman laying down and another woman sitting on the laying down woman’s head with her legs spread apart.  REALLY? I cannot even begin to describe how offensive that entire demonstration was to me, Catholics, Christians, and any self-respecting woman who…

    Since you’re so afraid of the word pussy, to the point where you can’t even bring your innocent little fingers to type it out, I will use a different word to describe you. That word is cunt. You, my dear, are an ignorant cunt.

    Do you honestly think that pro-lifers are always peaceful protesters, quietly blogging or praying or doing some other useless activity? What a sweet little bubble of fantasy you must be living in, to have no idea about all the slaughtered abortion doctors and bombed clinics. Here, let me educate you.

    Sure, pro-choicers can be a bit loud and offensive when the mood strikes them, but I can’t seem to recall the last time one of us committed any such atrocious acts of violence.

    And oh, since I know you’re thinking it, don’t try to say that we commit “violence” by supporting and having abortions. Even the most simple of children can understand the difference between flushing out a barely-formed clump of cells, and murdering a living, breathing human being with friends, family, memories, and a personality.

    Wow.  First of all, I am flattered that you think me worthy of one of the most offensive possible words for a woman.  You must feel really good about yourself.  Good job.

    I will not stand to be called such derogatory language.

    Honestly, it saddens me to see you have such hatred in your heart.  You must be a very unhappy person, and for that I will be praying for you. 

    Secondly, do you really think a Wikipedia article that can be edited by absolutely everyone on the web is a good source? Really? It was probably written by Pro-Choice people, and is incredibly biased.  Not gunna fly with me. Nope.  Wikipedia will almost never be a reliable source.  I’m surprised someone with as worldly of a vocabulary as you would even consider Wikipedia to be reliable.  

    Abortion is not just an act of violence.  It is worse.  It is murder of a human being. There has been biological proof that life begins at conception.  And that baby already has a family and friends, they just have not met yet.  That baby has so much potential, and so many reasons to live.  To deny a baby a right to live is appalling.  

    I’m not going to argue any further with you, because it obviously will go nowhere.  You’ll continue to throw insults at me, and I’ll continue to repeat the truth.  All I can do from this point is pray for you and for everyone else who has been so severely mislead into thinking that a baby is just a clump of cells and nothing more.  

    I love how the person attacking Jess felt the need to use a gendered insult against her.

    Nice job. Yes, Jess IS female. GOOD JOB CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

    That isn’t bad.

    Jess is also a loving, wonderful young woman who kicks butt. And she’s my sister so if you hurt her, I get angry. And I’m not afraid to have it out with people.

    :)

    Jess, ALL THE AWARDS.

    So much love for Jess!

    To the haters: if there’s one thing we should be able to agree on, it’s that ALL “living, breathing human [beings] with friends, family, memories, and a personality” deserve to be respected as such, and that NO ONE deserves to be degraded or called names regardless of the circumstances - even if you vehemently disagree with someone else’s views.

    I’m just saying, it might be nice to actually treat other human beings with love and respect in the same way we are all working to create a world filled with peace and understanding.

    And yes, that also goes for myself and the pro-life movement as well.

    Mr. President,

    If a woman and her doctor decided to murder you, would it be alright?

    I haven’t forgotten who I’m fighting for. I am fighting for LIFE and I don’t judge one life to be more valuable than another.

    You cannot say that there would be no AFFORDABLE and SUPPORTIVE health care centers if Planned Parenthood was shut down. We are not suggesting we eliminate funding for women’s health. We are not suggesting that women be left to “fend for themselves.” We are suggesting that the funding being given to PP be redistributed to pro-life institutions. Imagine the lives that would be saved; lives of both women AND children.

    That’s why, in January, when you THREATENED to charge business a $2000 per employee, per day fine unless pro-life businesses payed for morally objectionable services in their health plan, we had a simple answer. NO.

    You’re right. This debate is far from over and we will continue to send our message loud and clear. If you truly value families, you shouldn’t play politics with the right to life. That’s why I know that pro-life supporters will continue to oppose Planned Parenthood and your HHS Mandate, no matter what. I will never stop fighting to protect the life that ALL HUMAN BEINGS deserve, as long as I have the privilege of being a United States Citizen.

    A baby is NOT a disease. Pregnancy CANNOT be cured. 

    Thanks.

    Beautiful.  

    It’s amazing how you can tell such a precious story with just three pictures.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth God, world without end. Amen.
