Well, so far, according to the article, no one will touch the case, not even the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a pro-life, Christian organization which has fought the ACLU successfully. Apparently someone in that city or county holds extreme power, being frightening enough to scare off even the most experienced and successful lawyers.

So you're saying that those who practiced civil disobedience in he 1960s were wrong to do so? That they should have left the segregation law alone? And those who hid the Jewish people in their homes and in other properties during World War II were wrong, they should have turned them in?

This is the same concept. There are civil rights being violated by law, and someone has to show others how wrong it is.

It was a bubble-zone law, which we do have here in the US.

Just because it's legal doesn't make it right.

Nazi Germany legalized what they did to the Jewish people. Britain and then the US legalized slavery. The one-child policy, forced abortion, and forced sterilization is legal in China and North Korea. It's legal to imprison and deport asylum-seekers from war-torn countries who cannot pay for the naturalization process. The Iraq war was legal. Capital punishment is legal.

I'm sure that there are many more examples, but the fact remains that not all that is right is legal, and what is legal is not always right.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
"2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

"2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection." http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P85.HTM

From The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons:
"The Church, in rejecting erroneous opinions regarding homosexuality, does not limit but rather defends personal freedom and dignity realistically and authentically understood...
"What is essential is that the fundamental liberty which characterizes the human person and gives him his dignity be recognized as belonging to the homosexual person as well. As in every conversion from evil, the abandonment of homosexual activity will require a profound collaboration of the individual with God's liberating grace." http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/c...

We're not saying that we're better at all! Saying that would be like saying those who try to get help for those who are ill think that those who are ill are less than those who aren't. That is simply not true.

Having homosexual feelings is not a sin. Acting on those feelings is. As with other moral disorders, it prevents one's fulfillment and happiness in God by rejecting and acting contrary to His creative wisdom.

It is horrid that homosexual people have been targets of violence. This needs to be stopped, and condemned wherever it's seen. "It reveals a kind of disregard for others which endangers the most fundamental principles of a healthy society. The intrinsic dignity of each person must always be respected in word, in action and in law."

Rejecting homosexual behavior is not the same thing as targeting them for violence. Just like you wouldn't support a person's bad habit, you also wouldn't beat them up over it, or say that they're any less of a person for it.

However, homosexual activity cannot be condoned, according to our faith. While some say that it is not a choice, it obviously must be to some extent. They do have the freedom to not act on their feelings, just as a person has the freedom not to hit someone who makes them angry. It is demeaning to homosexuals to say that they are slaves to their passions, for that would put them with the beasts, which would them less than human. They ARE fully human, and must be treated as such. They can choose whether or not to sin. They are called to lives of chastity. We must accept them with love and help them with their trial.

Very true. Jack Nicholson is also very pro-life, as he was born of rape, as well. He says he can't be anything but pro-life.

Her name is Janet Sheen. She's not an appendage. It's just that more people know her husband and children than her.

I'm not so sure that women know when they are going to start menopause. My mother sure didn't. There's no set date for it or anything like that.

As to the baby dying, those with anencephaly don't die right away all the time. And sometimes those who are diagnosed with anencephaly don't actually have it, because doctors screw up. It's part of being human. Therefore, there's always a chance, even if it's small, that the baby will be okay.

Besides, the women do get to hold their babies. The doctors and nurses don't take the baby away until the family is ready. Sometimes the family is even able to arrange a funeral and burial for the child. Every human on this planet makes a difference to someone. These children make an impact coming into the world, and leave a big mark on those who love them.

I suggest you read the stories at Be Not Afraid, which talk about such things: http://www.benotafraid.net/

What do they mean, "If we are defunded, America's emergency rooms will be overrun"? You don't go to an emergency room for their non-abortive services, and using an emergency room to get these services would be a whole lot more expensive instead of going to a local free clinic. If they are talking about abortion, I thought that their government funding didn't allow them to use said funding for that purpose? Are they finally admitting to the fact that it does free up funds for abortion?
