Pure coincidence too that the first village lies above the mineral

it was oil in vietnam. remeber, we were tools of the capatalistic pig oilmen.
or was the neofacist petrol industry.

D'you know - a couple of weeks ago I re-discovered my copy of Chairman
Maos Little Red Book, that the Peoples Republic London embassy kindly
sent me in 1970-ish.
I'm sure there's loads and loads of first-generation jargon in there.

i was thinking of the hippy/bleeding heart jargon here in the 60's.

Out of sight, out of mind. Clowns like Oakley would then be directly
responsible for the dead baby found in a dumpster because the 12 year
old that got raped by her father couldn't abort the child that her
dad proudly sired.

Abortion is a good thing. Otherwise
you'd have fetuses in garbage cans and
dumpsters everywhere. The do-gooders that complain about it would
never take on the responsibility of raising abandoned children. They
are self-righteous sacks of **** that try and impose their sorry
beliefs on everyone.


I wouldn't have phrased it quite that way, nor, as an adoptive father, can I
ever agree that abortion is a good thing. But you do raise some of the same
points that I raised a couple of days ago, and which, it should be noted,
Mr. Oakley has so far failed to address.

Maybe you should do more research. A lot of women are damaged physically,

and some die of complications. Hardly safe and healthy. The emotional scars
are just as bad. Ask any woman thats had an abortion.
www.focusonthefamily.com will have lots of stats if you genuinely care to

do
some honest intelectual study on the subject. If you just want to spout
your hate for the pro life movement, dont bother. Been there done that,

got
a tee shirt for ya. What you call control freak propaganda is for saving
lives, and is much more based in facts than what you wish to think.

The Founders hated them too, which is why these religious fanatics are the

Actually, there is a disturbing hidden agenda that has a twisted kink to it.
These church leaders are repressed perverts and the only way for them to get
their secret kink on is to imagine young girls carrying their daddy's rape
child to term. If all abortions are outlawed, then all this stuff stays at
home, allowing them to exert supreme control over "daddy's harem".

Because they have a secret hidden kinko agenda going on. You can read about
it in my other posts. God only plays a part in it on Sunday. For the other
six days, they try to rack up as much sin as possible, so it can all be
forgiven during next Sunday's "confession". It's cyclical.

Hello

On the story below, the photo image link below shows the

pannels are about to pop out from the weight of the
pennies.

Church fills glass house with symbolic protest

Associated Press
Sunday, December 7, 2008

JACKSON -- There's a half million dollars sitting on
the corner of Mississippi and President streets in
Jackson, but no one could possibly steal it.

That's because the cash is in the form of pennies --
50 million of them -- that collectively weigh 156 tons.

The coins, which fill a glass house outside of the
Mississippi Baptist Convention building, provide a
visual reminder of the number of abortions performed
in the United States since the Roe vs. Wade
decision in 1973.

"We just needed something to memorialize and help
people see the magnitude of abortion over the last
several decades," said Rev. Jimmy Porter, executive
director of the Mississippi Baptist Convention's
Christian Action Commission.

Called the "Memorial to the Missing," the penny-filled
structure is a project of the Mississippi Baptist
Convention, which set out more than two years ago to
collect one penny for each child who would have been
born were it not for legal abortion.

Now that the convention reached its goal of collecting
50 million pennies, it plans to invest the money in a
fund dedicated to anti-abortion causes.

"I think it's been real effective," said Rev. Clarence
Cooper, who was president of the convention when the
memorial was erected on Mother's Day weekend in 2006,
"especially to those who have taken the time to read
the large plaque that is there."

The plaque says the coins not only represent aborted
babies but "the difficult process of decision-making,
fear and loneliness" involved with abortion. It asks
passersby to "stop, pray, consider what we are doing
as a nation, ask God to forgive us, seek ways to help
those who are struggling with the decision and look
to the Lord to restore each of us."

Convention spokesman William Perkins said people often
stop at the container to pray and insert their own
coins into the structure's penny slot.

"There are a number of stories we've heard about
grandparents who walk by and saw it and read the
plaque and dug in their pockets and put pennies in
the memorial for grandchildren who have been aborted,"
he said. "It's been an interesting couple of years."

Meanwhile, continued contributions can be made to
the Mississippi Baptist Christian Action Commission.

Removing the pennies from the container will be no
easy feat.

"It will be interesting to see how that's done,"
Perkins said. "There's no clear-cut way to do that."

The coins are piled 6 feet deep in the 13-by-7 glass
house. The structure weighs more than 300,000 pounds,
or the equivalent of 100 sedans stacked on top of
each other.

The container is made of steel and bulletproof glass
and is reinforced by five concrete pilings buried 14
feet into the ground. The first batch of 20 million
pennies were poured into the container when the
memorial was dedicated in 2006.

Members of the state's 2,100 Mississippi Baptist
Convention-affiliated churches contributed most of
the coins that fill the glass house.
