I am still on Rep Doug Collins, mailing list from Ga. and he just sent out information about his efforts to ‘end Cruel Practice of Infanticide.’ He is trying to get passed the ‘Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.’ The Republicans have reframed ‘legal abortion,’ into the ‘killing of infants!’
What I want to impart here is...it is easy to blow off steam here on our laws being dismantled by the Republicans using any means possible...but words are free and cheap! If we don’t get more creative in our protest against the Republicans/Evangelicals...we stand to loose more than just the legal abortion law. Collins, made sure in his E-mail that ‘as a pastor,’ he wants to get this law passed! And, he pointed out that the Democrats have blocked all the efforts to get this law passed. (Fortunately so far.) But this is only one area where the Republicans reframe an issue, only to insight rage from Americans to slant the issue in their favor! We Americans who believe in a woman’s right to make decisions concerning her own body must speak ‘truth to the power,’ to the Evangelicals...otherwise, when they are finished twisting the laws already in place, in the next year and half...we WILL be living in a EVANGELICAL America! Blowing off steam on this site, may placate our fears momentarily...but it lacks courage to take our elected officials to task over destroying stable laws that protect everyone! It takes little courage to stay behind locked doors and complain...and, ‘I should have done something,’ said later...is like smoke blowing in the wind! What will you do now?
