Donald Miller

Well said, Don Miller.

Are you kidding? This is really disappointing. "It's a great bit of idealism"...to protect an innocent human life? Miller can say what he wants about the GOP on other issues but this is one he can't chose the middle ground on. He is so weak and wants to find the grey area where he can please both sides by saying he want to reduce abortion. If it is not a real human life then why would he want to reduce them? And if it is a human life then why isn't it a cause worth fighting for?

boy...i am glad that the abolitionists didn't give up after 20 years. is donald for real??? this is depressing. how many of our leaders are this deceived?

proeg777 he is not stating that we should be giving up on stopping abortions!! He is saying the the last 20 years have seen the same approach from the GOP and that he wants democrats and republicans alike to take a second look on how to stop these abortions from happening!

The last headline ever printed before the world goes BOOM! " Christian cult launches nukes kills humanity!"

Amen

Thank you. My point was that we have tried to make the world play on our terms for a long time, to the detriment of our cause. We hope for legislation, simply because it is easy. Health care, education, economy, mentorship, and (perhaps above all) the church becoming a beacon of hope to the fatherless - unless these issues are addressed, all the efforts of pro-lifers will continue to be taken as propaganda, drowned out in a sea of propaganda. Real change is much more difficult, and worth it.

I'm with you. While we're waiting for legislation we definitely need to keep busy on all fronts with a holistic mindset. I don't know how we can think legislation is easy, though, with what we've seen go on in our Congress and Supreme Court. It's hard work just like the rest of it. Keep fightin' brotha. You have fellow workers alongside you.

You're right - poor choice of words on my part. I only meant that the concept of this being won purely - even primarily - by legislating the isolated issue is an overly simplistic one. It hopes to fell much more in one blow than could actually be done.
Thanks for keeping it cordial. Here's to good discussion...

Likewise. You've been a gentleman about it and I commend you. Here's to good action as well
