Until I was so inspired by Hillary Clinton's paranoia, I was actually going to name this site "Can't Sleep Either, Huh?"
I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that to try and argue a pro-life position with a pro-choicer, especially a woman, is almost pointless. It hardly ever does anything but breed resentment and hard feelings on both sides. Plus, both people usually come away more firm in their original convictions. I've read more books on the debate than most people I know. I've read both purely pro-life and purely pro-choice arguements, thoroughly. What most pro-choicers (and pro-lifers) find surprising is that at one point in my life, I was staunchly pro-choice. So pro-choice in fact that I actually took a bus to the state capitol and marched, screaming down "self-righteous pro-lifers."
The only tactic which I have ever employed which I have found to be somewhat influential is considered grotesque by both sides. But, I know one thing. It worked for me. It not only stopped me dead in my tracks, it made me re-examine everything I once believed about the topic. I used to buy into the old line that "it's just a blob of tissue", a "potential life", a "product of conception", a "parasite", and thus, a "woman's choice."
I was wrong.
If any person that holds the pro-choice position has any guts at all, they will take the time to re-examine both sides of the issue with equal passion.
Just on sheer principal, I refuse to recommend any pro-choice reading other than what one may find at the Planned Parenthood Web-site. For the pro-life reading, I found a book by Randy Alcorn called "Pro-Life answers to Pro-Choice Arguments" to be the tie-breaker for me.
Also, if you have the stomach, I dare any pro-choicer to go to

There are many pictures there, so don't try to just look at one or 2 before you leave. Take your time and look carefully and closely at the results of the "choice," and then try to still defend the pro-choice position. (This is the grotesque tactic I refered to earlier.) Also, be forewarned that if you try to use the old "coat hanger" and "back alley" arguments to defend your position, you will be defeated swiftly and soundly by your own statistics.
All that being said, I still respect any person's right to hold ther pro-choice position, but I feel it is the wrong one, and even though I know it may be pointless, I will still try to switch them to my side. One look at the pictures will tell you why.
As for poor Tammy Jo, there are currently more abortion-alternative providers in this country than abortion providers. These abortion-alternative providers will provide Tammy Jo with a safe non-judgemental home to live in, feed her, clothe her, provide pre-natal care, educational and career opportunities, and adoption serrvices, ALL FREE OF CHARGE.
As for Planned Parenthood and the other abortion services providers, except for charging Tammy Jo an average of $350 to kill her baby for her and giving her free and risky contraceptives, what other services do they provide? (Try as you may, there is no answer to that question that will beat the abortion-alternative providers FREE services.)
Oh, I know, their motto is "Every child a wanted child," which implies that they really care about the children. Put another way, it means "Every unwanted child a dead child." They only care about children as long as they are still able to kill them.
It's not about a right to choose. It is about Good vs. Evil.
