Protesters Pray at Abortion Clinics, Not Where Poor People Are


Has anyone else noticed how self centered abortion protestors are. A writer recently listed all the places the faithful could pray and offer help--places where they never show up. 

The link talks about slum housing, public hospitals, used car places, appliance rentals and consumer loan places with high interest rates. Some people take their possessions to pawn shops so they can buy groceries. No one is praying out loud at these places to attract attention to themselves. Prayers done not want to be seen among lowlifes. They want to be seen at abortion clinics. 

Those who pray at abortion clinics could pray when a city comes and destroys an encampment of homeless people. The residents under the bridge now need another place and could use some support. Helping those under the bride does not make for a good photo op.

I once arranged for the late Senator Quintin Burdick to spend the night in a shelter--I stayed there too. In talking to the men there, it was a male only place, I had the impression a fair number were on medications prescribed by mental health personnel. Also, I had the feeling they were not taking meds when they were supposed to and could use help in following the medical recommendations. Although there were lots of people not far away helping pregnant women decide not to get abortions, there was not adequate help with the mentally ill homeless population.

I know everyone cannot help every person, but the lack of interest in poor and unhealthy adults in indicative of the messed-up minds in anti-abortion. Their minds are so filled with pictures of fetuses they cannot see in front of them born children and adults who need the kind of help protesters could offer if they just wanted to help. They don't want to help.  

Overturning Roe has had the good result of getting the general public to see the ridiculousness of praying in front of clinics. One woman I read about today drove hundreds of miles to get an abortion because she has two small children. One more will put here on the street or in a homeless shelter. 

Those who use prayer in front of abortion clinics are the most selfish people of all.

    What is a lowlife? Are these pawners a problem? Would Margaret Sanger eradicate these problems too, and cull them out like an unwanted fetus?

      Henry "What is a lowlife?" To those who protest at clinics a lowlife is a baby born to poor parents. Protestors never lift a finger to help, vote for lower taxes and fewer opportunities. Both the parents and children of poor people need help. But, don't bother to ask the protestors, they are wrapped up in praising themselves for their superior moral beliefs. Poor people are such a bother.

      Paraphrasing a message flying around the net, those who pray loudly in front of abortion clinics have a mouthful of scripture and a heart full of hate.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
