Walk for Life in SF *Updated*
*Update*
Check out this site as well. It's excellent, and it really demonstrates the point I was getting at with the other pictures. The pro-abortion croud are verging on the manical, a sign of ultimate impotence.
Check out these pictures. Is it me, or do the people who represent the pro-abortion crowd seem to be somewhere between aggressively rude and maniacally violent? I wonder if SFgate meant to convey that perception, but the images it has up show the pro-life folks as patient and kind, and the pro-abortion folks as mean-spirited, if not violent and dangerous. In particular, I was struck by this picture. Cute, huh? Humorous, lots of belly showing. But look at the tattoo on her neck peaking out from behind her scarf. Yeah, it's a little devil. Are we surprised? "They will call the good evil, and the evil good."

We had a conversation at one point about whether it is possible for someone to be pro-abortion yet fundamentally morally good. If I recall correctly, you argued that it was, given that the person actually believe that an unborn child is not a person. Well, I suspect that if there are people like that, they are the folks who generally mind their own business and show their support for abortion by voting Democratic or whatever. Pro-abortion activists, The sort of people who go out of their way to protest a peaceful march, are more likely, in my opinion, to know perfectly well what they are supporting. These are the sort of people who hate their Maker and consequently have chosen to devote their lives to evil as a way of getting back at Him. This may be wholly subconscious--many of these folk would adamantly deny that they have a Maker--but it seems to me to be the best explanation for their behavior.
Possession as it is described in the Gospels is not very common today, probably because Satan understands that in our culture he can work most effectively by spreading disbelief in himself. Thus, rather than directly physically controlling people's bodies, he manipulates their emotions. I think that that is what is going on in this case--these people react to the presence of pro-lifers rather like demons to the presence of Christ.
Et cum aperuisset sigillum quintum, vidi subtus altare animas interfectorum propter verbum Dei, et propter testimonium quod habebant; et clamabant voce magna, dicentes: Usquequo, Domine (sanctus et verus), non judicas, et non vindicas sanguinem nostrum de iis qui habitant in terra?
Too true. Demonic possession of the physical body still happens today, but mostly in third-world countries where people still believe in spirits. Here, where we believe in nothing but our feelings, demons manipulate our feelings.
At least we might see here that the pro-abortion people haven't exactly put their best face forward (or have they?) Hopefully people will wake up to the truth through their immature and oppressive behavior. By the way, I really dislike the term "pro-choice"... Man has always had the freedom to choose. What their signs should say is "Choice without Consequences" or "I Want it My Way" - something like that.
The greatest hypocrisy, of course, is found among those such as Kate Michelman who devote their lives to defending women's "choice," then adamantly defend China's forced abortion one-child policy. (I believe she said it was "among the most intelligent" legislative policies she knew of.) Might have been another former NARAL president, but I think it was Michelman.
A reader writes on Mark Shea's blog that one of the protesters he saw was holding a sign that read, "F--- the unborn." If that's not demonic, I don't know what is.
I think it actually said "F--- your agenda." As the verb in that sentence is what this is really all about, I think it has a sort of perverse applicably. Is sex simply f---ing, or is it the creative union of a man and a woman? Everything, it seems to me, hangs on that question.
You're right, Whiskey. It's even important that the verb of choice is f--- rather than sex. F--- is a harsh, violent word, and its connotations are put to good use in the Nine Inch Nails song (I decided it was a little to horrible to actually quote, even in bowdlerized form). This is not love that has turned into lust, but hate that has turned into lust.
