Men and women of good will must always be willing and able to find compromise when dealing with people who hold views different from their own. Or, at the very least, respect the right of the other to have a different view, and agree to disagree. Otherwise, the only recourses is avoidance or conflict. <br /><br />Cranky Old Baptist, I am a Christian; some would say I, too, am a "cranky old Baptist"...I qualify on all three counts. I love the Bible, but I am aware that only one-third of all the people on the earth accept the Bible as their Holy Book. That one-third includes every Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal and more than 30,000 other "christian identity" denominations and independent churches. Some you might not consider Christians.

The road to legalizing abortion took many years and lots and lots of marketing from the pro abortion groups that ultimately won the Supreme Court decision. Remember, as late as 1963, Planned Parenthood opposed abortion. How did it change? While Evangelical Christians essentially stood silently on the sideline, the pro abortion groups worked to create sympathy for their side. They used the civil rights movement to make it a women’s rights issue. They worked the media. They worked the elementary and high schools. Only the Catholics took a firm stand, while we did nothing.<br /><br />A small majority favors abortion today but that could easily change with a little savvy marketing by those of us that oppose abortion. Just like a woman seeing a picture of their unborn child sways many to not kill their baby.WishIhadknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12487727353887788291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-29585885436229280822011-02-25T15:41:12.935-05:002011-02-25T15:41:12.935-05:00"Trying to convince the majority of society -..."Trying to convince the majority of society - who are unbelievers - that they should accept Biblical truth about unborn babies has and always will fail."<br /><br />I volunteered in a crisis pregnancy center for years.

Now we have 1. Over the years, we leased space as close to the mills as we could get. We prayed, invited and begged women to use our services. It has been long and slow but we put 4 mills out of business in 10 years.<br /><br />And we do not abandon the women when they choose to keep the child.
