I'm not sure how it works out for pricing, I'm sure there were reasons behind it. Anyway, I wasn't able to go but sure would have loved to! I read her book too, and like you, couldn't put it down. It's hard for me to think that anyone who reads it could not be converted to the prolife movement.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451590537173713861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-12903384094325828802015-03-02T15:58:30.445-07:002015-03-02T15:58:30.445-07:00Francis, it's always been unthinkable to me th...Francis, it's always been unthinkable to me that women would be fighting to be able to kill their own offspring, when our very nature is to protect our children, even at the cost of our own lives. The early feminists knew this. The early feminists would never pit a mother against her own child (how is that "feminist", to do so?). The early feminists were against the strong oppressing the weak. The modern feminists have as their linchpin the oppression of the weakest among us: The smallest of our children. It's the opposite of the feminine instinct. Very bizarre that to fight oppression, women feel they have to become the oppressors. So misdirected. So wrong.Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-17282735143377323402015-03-02T14:39:55.083-07:002015-03-02T14:39:55.083-07:00I just read this quote from Dr Ben Carson:
“You k...I just read this quote from Dr Ben Carson:<br /><br />“You know, there are those of us in this society who have told women that there’s a war on them because that cute little baby inside of them, they may want to get rid of it and there are people that are keeping you from doing that! And women say, ‘No, no, they’re not doing that to me! No!’ And they get all riled up. There is no war on them, the war is on their babies, Babies that cannot defend themselves. Over the past few decades, we have destroyed 55 million of them. And we have the nerve to call other societies of the past heathen. What we need to do is re-educate the women to understand that they are the defenders of these babies.” <br /><br />As I read this I imagined what would happen, if by some miracle, all the women of the world were to stand shoulder to shoulder and arm-in-arm one day and thunder across the planet: “No, you will not kill our babies. Not a single one. No matter what. Not ever again.”<br /><br />I know it’s only a dream, but imagine what that would do in an instant for world peace and indeed, by forced realignment of our social mores, priorities, and resources, the world’s prosperity.Francis Choudhuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146223983345452362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-4156920301916017502015-03-01T20:55:43.515-07:002015-03-01T20:55:43.515-07:00Liesl, I'm keeping it in mind, too!

I can only imagine how busy she is, with both her ministry and her growing family!
