Prolife activists arrested at the DNC

Thirteen people (including two Catholic priests) were arrested for blocking access to the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

The police begin issuing warnings and making arrests about two minutes into this raw video.

(The arrestees include Randall Terry, Fr. Norman Weslin of Nebraska, and Fr. Joseph Klee of Ohio.)

Yea if the good book says so it must be true.

Religious fanatics have brainwashed people for thousands of years. Just because some people wrote a book 2000 years ago and started a cult that ended up being popular doesn't make the story they used to do so true. Whats even more perplexing is that Christians call it having "faith", Faith is the belief in something not known to be true, yet if you disagree with them, your considered to be doomed. Quite a system for the crazy wouldn't you agree?

Every child living, in the womb or out, have a contitutional right to be protected. If we only carried leaflets, or a sign, it would lack the sacrifice and convictions that this country was founded upon. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "Don't ever believe the law gives you the right to do what is wrong." Killing children is wrong...

Our prayers go out to you Fr. Weslin, and all of your beloved "lambs." Those who are willing to actually spend time in jail are examples to follow. If we all did it. Children would not be able to be killed, because the jails could not hold us. (Come to Dallas, and we'll house the any fellow rescuers.)

How lame. There is nothing "peaceful" about blocking an entrance to a political convention.

abortion is a nice issue to fight for or against but as much as this country was founded on religious freedom national laws should not be set to govern us. Local laws only should be allowed to say wether abortion is ok or not. That way people like these people may live in cities with laws they agree with. As long as the country is united against our enemies and united in our strive for a better future, that's all that matters.

So be it, amen. Praise God for the Church militant in this culture war.
