I want to talk about two pro-choice people who have been in the news lately.
The first is a pro-choice activist named Ted Shulman. It seems that this turkey recently pled guilty to making death threats against Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life and Princeton Professor Robert George. He could face up to 51 months in federal custody and will be sentenced on September 12. He has called himself the “first pro-choice terrorist.”
Maybe I’m missing something here, but I’ve done some research and am bothered that I have not seen the major pro-choice groups condemning this nut ball. For many, many years we have been quick to criticize the pro-life movement when they seem to disappear when one of their own engages in acts of violence or, if they do condemn the action, it is always with the caveat that “if the abortionist did not engage in the act of killing himself perhaps this would not have happened” or words to that effect.
Well, this pro-choicer is not going to play games with something as serious as this. Let me for the record condemn the actions of Mr. Shulman and I hope he does serve his time. What this guy did was wrong – period.
The other person I want to talk about is Nancy Keenan, the Executive Director of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights League, who recently announced that she will be leaving the organization after the November presidential elections.
Interestingly, Nancy said she is moving on because it’s time to let the “younger folks” take over the reins. Now, Nancy is only 60 years old which, to me at least, still seems “not very old” but she makes a good point.
Many years ago, I was the Director of Government Affairs for NARAL. Literally two days after I joined the staff, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a constitutional amendment overturned Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion. During that time, millions of dollars rolled into the NARAL office and it seemed like every day we were hiring a new staff person. Meanwhile, there were rallies all across the country, marches on Washington, television commercials. It was a very exciting time and many younger folks were engaged in the debate.
Ultimately, we won the battle as we defeated the amendment handily. But, once we turned back the threat to legal abortion, many of those activists left the movement and moved on to other issues. That is ironic down side when you win something.
Then, in the ensuing years the Supreme Court, the U.S. Congress and the state legislatures started chipping away at Roe but those battles weren’t “sexy” enough to get all the troops revved up again. There was no prominent “devil” to focus on. On the other hand, the pro-life movement always had the fetus to keep its attention so they kept the pressure up. Later the clinic protest movement grew bigger as some decided to take the battle to the streets, right at the spot where “babies were being killed.”
Polls can always be deceiving but generally it does appear that there are more young folks involved in the pro-life movement than the pro-choice movement. One possible reason is that they now have their “devil” in Barack Obama, who they like to call the “most pro-abortion President in our history.”
Frankly, if I were back at NARAL, I’m not sure what I would do to try to get the younger generation more energized. They certainly don’t remember the old days of illegal abortion and campaigns to try to remind them have failed. Meanwhile, it’s hard to get energized about a right that they have grown up with.
Nancy has the right idea. But she and NARAL have a tough task ahead.

sorry for the delay, elena
this might be something that we have to agree to disagree on, and i can only speak for myself, but this is my perspective.
when doctor tiller was murdered in his church by a christian extremist, anti-abortion leaders, either did as pat said, and said they denounced, it, but if he hadn’t been killing, it wouldn’t have happened, or best case scenario, said “we denounce it, just as we denounce violence in the womb”.
i see those as winks and nods. there was no need to say anything about our stance on abortion. we are antis.
they made a statement to try and make the anti-abortionists look better, but just HAD to make some kind of political points while doing so.
that was what todd did with his post.
if he had simply stated that as the manager of a pro-choice organization and denounced the terrorist act alone without attempting to make political points, it would have been doing the right thing.
if anti abortion leaders would simply denounce the violence by christian extremists against doctors and clinic workers rather than trying to make political points in the same sentence, it would be doing the right thing.
many antis are unaware of the terrorism that clinics see everyday.
many choicers are unaware of the terrorism that is inflicted upon antis everyday.
in both instances, the ones who spoke were being honest, but it is still a wink and a nod.
we could debate numbers and who did what to whom until we are blue in the face.
but i think that the leaders in both camps need to speak out against any act of violence inflicted upon the other because it is the right thing to do and not make attempts to promote our own agendas.
i don’t think that we should allow for different behavioral standards by either camp.
pat’s point was that pro-choice organizations are painfully silent about this matter.
they were painfully silent when the manager of the clinic in tulsa planted an alarm clock in the trash can and called in a bomb threat.
if an anti had done that, they would have been screaming bloody murder and rightfully so.
it is as though this entire issue is surrounded by a huge propaganda machine and the people don’t matter to so many people on either side.

Pat’s right – “I have not seen the major pro-choice groups condemning this nut ball” – but he’s wrong – the pro-life movement “seem to disappear when one of their own engages in acts of violence . . .”
The pro-life movement actually condemns forceful prolife activity more roundly even than the pro-death movement. Is Pat just unaware of this or is he being disingenuous. My guess is the former.
Here’s an example. Years ago I was listening to our premier prolife politician, Chris Smith of New Jersey, drone on about prolife stuff. I was awakened by a sudden and forceful change in his voice. He was condemning the prolife use of force. Hey, I said to myself, it’s been eight years since Jim Kopp terminated Barnett Slepian, and nothing’s been done since!
What’s Chris talking about!
Moreover, I am one of those prolifers who have not made up their minds about the prolife use of force. Even for this I have been kicked out of my local prolife organization; out of the United States’ only prolife teachers’ organization, Teachers Saving Children; and disinvited as speaker to Serra, a vocation- promoting Catholic men’s association. I have also been lectured to and excoriated by many prolifers, including priests and ministers.
What’s Pat talking about?

OK, guys, I’m back (with a little help from my friends), commenting on “comments.” I spent the past months focusing only on Pat’s and Kate’s posts and ignoring comments because my responses kept getting erased. But I’m giving it another try.
I am just too anxious to get you illiterates to learn a few things. Sometimes I have to employ “tough love.” I’ll begin by re-posting for you new guys something that long ago one of your literate brothers recognized:
“I have to wonder why it is that so many people are responding to Mr. Dunkle’s posts. Whoever John Dunkle is, he or she obviously is enjoying the attention everyone is heaping upon his rhetoric. He needles people into becoming his pawns in a game of words that ends with you all you looking like mad, angry idiots.
“Ignore the man. He’ll go away eventually. Let him have the last word, if it means so much to him. It is clear he is very much enjoying these interactions he precipitates by making rude comments on this site. And you all fall right into the trap, and let him needle you into his game. It’s silly, manipulative, and childish.”
The writer, A. Liggins, got everything right except for my going away (and I don’t think our various interactions were “silly” or “childish” either). So, please, don’t force me again to make you look “like mad, angry idiots.” When you post something stupid, and I point that out to you, take it for what it’s worth. Learn from it. Don’t allow your brain to go dead and froth dumbly at the mouth.
So, allow me, Karl, to begin with you, with your first sentence: “So these other organization believe that it is OK to Murder people associated with the legal practice of Abortion?”
I didn’t read past that first sentence because I realized again I was dealing with an illiterate. I had just finished telling you that these other organizations do not believe that it is OK to murder “people associated with the legal practice of Abortion.” (Nor do I.)
Here’s what I want you to do. I want you to go back and reread my entry seven times. Then I want you to rewrite and post here your new comment. We’ll start from there.

You don’t see Dunkle and his pro life minions denouncing the violence of domestic abuse, the violent deaths of civilians in every country our military invades, the violence of food scarcity and hunger, or the violence of homelessness. You don’t see them denouncing the violence of misinformation or lies or shaming or screaming that Dunkle and his ilk foist upon innocent women.
What you do see is Dunkle’s repeated targeting violent behaviors toward women outside abortion clinics, harassing doctors and clinic directors at their homes, and encouraging the foment and dumb froth of prisoners who are educated only at the god-deluded alter of hate and fetal worship.

Because (and i am repeating myself here) not too long ago, i did translated a case that a woman was pregnant and she wanted to abort because the fetus was to be born and die in matter of minutes for being anencephalic, i remember that for me was very hard to watch all the suffering she was ring thru and the doctors and nurses and politics not caring for her pain. But at least now if a pregnancy with that deformity happens, women in Brazil will have the chance of not being obligated to go to term just for stupidity. Being brazilian, i can say that there is a lot for them to “grow” before they do approve abortion to be legal over there.

People keep saying abortion is wrong, illegal etc… So if they want to keep it on this path, they will have to make drinking alcohol or smoking while pregnant illegal too. These can also cause abortions.

//Here the pronoun “you” is to be //understood in gnareel and does //not refer to Krishnakumar.Its very hard to buy your argument. //Let me hasten to add that we //Indians have to learn a lot from //Israel in dealing with //terrorists, who are actually //cowards in heart or just the //unitiated tempted by beautiful //maidens in heaven, if they go as //suicide bombers.Yes every culture has to offer something to other culture or country. What really irritates me is the “halo” ness painted by some people here on Isreal. I am not praising islamic terrorism what i am trying to point out is the bias. I am also a strong supporter of capitalist but that does not mean we have to support everything and anything Isreal has done or we have to praise everything and anything right wing countries and people do.It is highly ridiculous to think your capitalistic credentials will get defiled if we speak against isreal.If we are condemning Osama/saddam we have to vehmently speak against the atrocities of Isrealis and the zionists. Just because the jews own some 1967 war that too with sophisticated weaponary against bunch of crude warriors like Egypt and jordan does not necessciate a great admiration for that country.The recent history has shown that they could not even stand against a unorganised band of hezabollah. That sense of admiration is as ridiculous as saying just because hezabollahs pumped up crude rockets against isreal we have to admire hezabollah.The whole concept of Isreal is sheer disgusting. If somebody comes and tells me that 2000 years ago my forefathers lived in your house so you have to vacate it will that make any sense it does not.I am privy to soooooooo many isreali literature here and i hear the voices of sooooooo many Isrealis. All they say is the arabs (palestines) have plenty of countries to move to so they should move out and let the whole land to jews. They say this in as many words or in circumlocutory manner or some in blunt manner depending on the level of their position in society but ultimately what they want is drive out the arabs from the land.No western nation has recognized palestine as a country so the notion of two nation theory so far has not been given sanctimonious blessing by the elite countries then how can you expect Iran or other Islamic countries to do the same with Isreal. Any problem in the world could be solved but not this one unless and until the whole security council is revamped with more saner voices with veto power.
