This article is a prelude of yet another multi-article blitz of mine, in an
effort to resolve challenges put forth. Seeing as this is the first week of
school, my attention will be largely diverted from this stuff. I'll be
posting and checking occasionally, but most of my UNIX activities will
comprise of helping Ron Graham and Feminists for Life's spread onto
Internet, as well as finding yet another UNIX account to spread to, in
addition to beefing up the utility power on my Nextnet account. And
admiring my new Internet Relay Channel access. (Oh, no, I have now spread
my "fat black ass" onto IRC. Time to flame me off of IRC, I guess.)

In any case, any claims that I have been scared off of this newsgroup, are
wild and crazy exercises in overconfidence, at best, and self-contradicting
lies, on the average. Heaven knows that it is, at worst... The
self-appointed Counter Flamelord will, every now and then, patrol these
newsgroups to lend reinforcements to pro-lifers under horrendous fire from
the enemy. And I'll be around, looking for the next Jim Jackson, and seeing
which pupil of Mark Ira Kaufman's, has successfully matched his level of
non-intellegence, threatmongering and religious bigotry. My bet is to be
hereby placed on Mark Kaufman's current top pupil, PatricKKK "I won't
apologize to you until you march your fat black ass down here to get my
apology for referring to you as only a Redneck Klansman would" Humphrey.

Anyways, onto the message at hand.




To all pro-lifers:

Does anyone remember what happened to Thomas S. Monaghan's Domino's Pizza?

Yup, that famous 30-minutes-or-less pizza delivery company, with chains
around the country, that got hacked by the NOW and other pro-abortion
groups, for supporting the pro-life cause.

I really hate to say this, but at the time Domino's was under attack, I was
laughing about it, and figured they'd be forced to "stop pumping funds into
the anti-choice movement." The fact was, the owner was forced to sell the
company, not just stop donating.

Nowadays, on the other side of the fence on this issue, the only thing I
can think is, where were the pro-lifers when Domino's was in such trouble?
Why didn't we all get immediate wind of Domino's efforts and start buying
their pizza?



It's not just about pizza. It's about the general, usually mutually
beneficial principle that when a corporation or organization offers to help
the pro-life movement, we should buy their products. Looking for a
part-time job? That might be the place to go work. It helps for that
company to have pro-lifers at the low-end of its employee ranks, as well as
in the big-chair positions.

You bet the opposition is doing the same for companies that support them.

I urge all pro-lifers here, to spread the word, that we need to know who
our supporters are. Be they actors, actresses, singers, reporters, media
groups, companies, or whatever, we have to get to know who our supporters
are.

Take, for instance, Mel Gibson. He's a pro-life supporter. The next movie
he stars in, get the whole family and go see it. Arnold Schwarzenegger is
coming up with a new movie soon, dealing with the Crusades. When it comes
out, make a note to see it; he's another pro-life supporter, and is said to
be currently contributing to George Bush's re-election campaign. (He also
helped out in California's Bruce Herschensohn's US Senatorial primary
campaign.)

When we support our supporters up in the big leagues, we can gather force
to battle our fierce and unrelenting enemies.


Such as the media.
The media is well-known for its bias on this issue. Let it be publicly
realized that the media always throws the hardest questions at the pro-life
movement, but never, ever, in the last 10+ years, has ever, from NBC News
to Donahue talk shows, posed a single hard question for the pro-abortion
movement.
The media blows up one single remark by Dan Quayle about Murphy Brown, but
ignores NOW ex-President Karen DeCrow's statement about Murphy Brown,
"Murphy Brown needs a baby like a fish needs a bicycle." The media attacked
ex-President Ronald Reagan over and over again, giving him not one inch of
positive media coverage. Hollywood makes more Reagan and Bush jokes than
hardly any other form of political joke on Earth.

Hollywood showed how in touch it is with America, with the opinions they
shoved relentlessly at Americans about Reagan and Bush, only to see Reagan
win once, win twice, and then be replaced by George Bush. Three times now,
Hollywood has been brutally contradicted at election time, but yet a fourth
time, they continue to strive to throw us a pro-abortion Democrat, wrapped
in all the glory and goodness they can find for him.
The media was the enemy force which predicted and stressed the pro-abortion
voting giant in 1989, that would awaken and heed Kate Michelman's words,
"Take our rights, lose your jobs!" ABC, in its "The New Civil War," showed
how PA representative Steve Friend, was running for his life in his
re-election bid, from pro-abortion challenges. They talked all about the
awakening pro-abortion voting giant, and how it would win them the election
season. Yet ABC never came back to us and discussed the fact that
pro-lifers won more elections than the pro-aborts did. The media has
strived to hide that from us, and now, they once again predict the rise of
that sleeping giant.

Do you remember the enemy, the Media, in 1989, when the newspapers and TV
flooded us with information on the April 9th pro-abortion march, yet when
the pro-life march came next year, they gave us only a few columns in a
scant few newspapers?

Do you notice how one media group tries every year to outmatch the other
group in how LITTLE they can cover pro-life events?

The media always talks about the 250,000-member National Organization for
Women, but never once have we heard about the 700,000+-member Concerned
Women of America. The media will never give CWA the coverage it deserves -
it is only logical that since CWA is bigger than the NOW, they should be
covered equally to the NOW.
The media portrays the pro-life movement as a male chauvenist
Fundamentalist redneck movement, when it was the pro-life movement, far
before the National Abortion Rights Action League and Planned Parenthood,
which found itself lead by an African-American woman, the first such woman
to ever graduate from Harvard Medical School. That woman was Mildred Fay
Jefferson, former President of the National Right to Life Committee. Yet,
when Faye Wattleton took the reigns of Planned Parenthood, the media went
wild. The media ignores the huge numbers of women, and the new
1.5-million-woman Capitol Hill Women for Life contingent, while scouring
the continent for new pro-abortion groups, no matter how tiny. The media
ignores the Democratic, liberal and feminist groups within the pro-life
movement - virtually the majority of the movement - and only lets you, the
viewer, see Randall Terry.

The message should be clear to you: IF YOU ARE A PRO-LIFER WHO DOESN'T
THUMP THE BIBLE, YOU WON'T BE NOTICED BY THE MEDIA.

Where was the media when Wanda Franz, a woman, took the head of the
National Right to Life Committee, while pro-abortionsts still chanted "7,
8, 9, 10, why are all your leaders men?" Where is the media now, as women
take control of the majority of the pro-life movements? They are: Rachel
McNair (Feminists for Life); Judy Brown (American Life League); Wanda Franz
(National Right to Life Committee); plus all the women leaders of the
Capitol Hill Women for Life. Not to mention Phyllis Schlafly, head of the
Republican Coalition for Life and Eagle Forum, two pro-life groups. The
former, roundly defeated pro-abortion forces in the Republican party,
outvoting them and outnumbering them in the activist ranks. The most
powerful pro-abortion Republican group sports 4000 people, versus 200,000+
for their pro-life activist opponents.

They never told you about how pro-abortion Republicans have lost more than
they have gained. Mike (excuse me, not Tom) Hayden was one such person - he
lost Kansas to a pro-life Democrat, Joan Finney. Buddy Roemer lost in
Louisiana. Tom Campbell lost a Senatorial campaign battle against Bruce
Herschensohn, as did Sonny Bono. Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey blew
his Republican pro-abort opponent into orbit around Mars, winning by, I
believe, 68%, which was a RECORD MARGIN.
And the media, after seeing this, wants you to believe the outrageous b.s.
that most Republicans are pro-abortion?

Was the media there in NJ when New Jersey lost its pro-abortion majority in
the state legislature, and turned pro-life, overnight? How about the losses
suffered in pro-abortion Governor Wilder's own state?

The media has never shown us the fact that fully 1/3 of the Democrats in
the House of Representatives are pro-life. They, however, stress day and
night, the presence of pro-abortion Republicans.
The media never showed us the presence of pro-life Governor Robert Casey at
the Democratic National Convention, and how the Democratic National
Convention was aimed totally at censorship against its pro-life elements.
Which, as I said, take up fully 1/3 of the Democratic ranks in the US House
of Representatives. Yet the concentrated on any pro-abortion Republicans
that showed up in Houston. Including that pitifully-ignored Caravan for
Choice, run by Ann Stone, which got so little attention on its way to the
Republican Convention.

The media in the US has more bias per second of abortion-coverage broadcast
than a shipload of Maxell Metal Cassettes. What other organization would
never tell us that the April 5, 1992 March for Women's Lives, was only
250,000 people, not 500,000? USA Today took a bold and inconsistent step
when they informed America that these marchers were TOTALLY OUT OF STEP
WITH AMERICA ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION. Such an admission by a mainstream
media power, is seldom. No one, however, besides the conservative factions
of the media, has told us about the REAL Park Police estimate for that 1992
March for Women's Lives crowd. No one, besides the conservatives, have
revealed to us that fateful letter which also indicated how much vandalism
and rule-breaking was committed by the pro-abortionists. No one.

And check this out: The October 30, 1989 Washington Post, showed the
following stats, on 118 programs on ABC, NBC, and CBS, from Jan.1 to
Aug.31, 1989.
The NOW and NARAL received 178 mentions, compared to 11 mentions for the
National Right to Life Committee, which is in fact, at 10-15 million
members, BIGGER THAN BOTH THE NOW AND NARAL, COMBINED.
How can that be fair coverage when the minority gets almost 20 times as
much coverage as the majority?



The next time you make the "mistake" of saying the media is working with
the abortion rights movement and is accepting any lies that the pro-aborts
will feed them, don't think for an instant that you're off the mark. You're
actually understating the severity of the media bias on this issue.

What do you call it when, yes, pro-aborts who read these newsgroups, the
Becky Bell story was fabricated as badly as it was, yet passed onto us as
"truth"?
It so happens, Jay Stein and other suckers who challenged me over the Becky
Bell issue, that the autopsy concerning Becky Bell, showed absolutely NO
UTERINE OR CERVICAL DAMAGE. NONE. NO EVIDENCE OF INFECTION OUTSIDE THE
UTERUS OR INSIDE. The cause of death, which was documented, was exclusively
destruction of the lungs, by a common pneumonia germ. This testimony, by
Dr. John Curry, former head of the Tissue Bank at Bethesda Naval Hospital,
was never, ever disproven. A certain Morley Safer said Dr. Curry's
information was irrelevant, and that he never saw the body. But Morley
Safer never DID prove the assertion about Becky Bell's death.
Yet another form of pro-abortion bias from the media, which posed all the
hard questions to Dr. Willke, and none to Morley Safer.

Our worst media enemy, by far, is Ted Turner. He makes ugly statements
about the pro-life movement, the nicest of which was when he called them a
bunch of "bozo's" for protesting his Roe vs. Wade movie in 1989.
In my opinon, Ted Turner and all under his control, should go to the trash
heap. Scratch CNN. Scratch TBS. Scratch TNT. Scratch Ted Turner.
But this billionaire has NOT been exempt from the STING of the pro-life
movement. Remember that Roe vs. Wade movie? Well, its ratings went to the
shitpile. Not only that, but NBC, which broadcasted it, went millions into
the hole over that deal, because advertisers pulled out right and left,
wanting NOTHING to do with that movie.
We flexed our political muscle at Ted Turner, and left him severely
bloodied. It is unlikely that he will ever put out the money to produce
another horrid film like that, or that a network will buy and attempt to
run it. Because WE FOUGHT BACK. YOU, that's right - YOU - taught Ted Turner
a lesson he won't soon forget. If this sounds terrible to you, remember,
pro-aborts will be more than glad to teach you and your supporters, a
lesson you won't soon forget.

The media is the enemy. Don't ever, as long as you live, forget that. If
they smile at you today and let it leak that there is an imperfection in
the pro-abortion cause, DON'T TURN YOUR BACK. That same media group will
turn tomorrow, and do something outrageous and say that Operation Rescue is
the head of the pro-life movement, or some other similar lie. That same
media group will hand a bullhorn to Barbara Walters and Ted Turner, and let
them rip all over you. The media, and I guarantee you this, will stab you
in the back if your back is ever turned to them.

Never forget how the media responded to Dan Quayle's comments on Murphy
Brown: "We are merely reflecting reality." Well, then, why is it that the
media is eager to show us "pro-choice" families and characters, but they
have never given us a pro-life TV character, the opposite, say, of VI
Warshawski? They are out there and just as real as anyone. The media simply
intends to either shut them out of the entertainment world, or when they
bring them in, they Murphy Brown them - turn them into raving, lunatic
assholes like the man to whom Murphy Brown said, "For a man without a
uterus, you sure are one to talk..." Remember Popeye? Olive Oyl is faced
with a pro-life priest who butts into her affairs and makes a statement
totally unrelated to her situation with the Bluto Doll. At least THAT
asshole cartoonist got fired by King Features.

The media claims that most Americans support abortion rights. But where was
the media when the HIGHLY-RESPECTED Wirthlin Group came out in January,
1992, with the results that showed:
*85% support informed consent abortion laws.
*74% support spousal notification abortion laws.
*80% support parental consent laws.
*Young people (18-24) are 61% pro-life in their legal views.
*17% support abortion on demand.
*12% will vote for the pro-choice candidate, regardless.
*19% will vote for the pro-life candidate, regardless.
*43% of all Americans want Roe vs. Wade overturned. That number rises to
48% when they are told that its overturn would allow for abortion laws at
the state level.
*57% want the Roe vs. Wade decision changed.
*50% of all Americans oppose the "Freedom of Choice Act" versus 45% in
favor. When told that the FOCA would knock off parental consent laws, that
number jumps to 56% versus 38%.
*53% of all Americans are pro-choice when it comes to rape, incest, and to
save the life of the mother, but not beyond that. That leaves, according to
the Alan Guttmacher Institute of Planned Parenthood, 96% of all abortions,
which would be banned if it were sent to a direct National vote, right now.

ULTIMATELY:
The pro-life movement has been forced to stretch its activities beyond
abortion. Now, we face euthenasia and infanticide. As much as they would
like to say it's okay to kill an anencephalic infant, it is still
infanticide - it's still murder by law.

The media continually lumps all these efforts by pro-life groups, into
the "anti-abortion" label.

What else could the media call us when we battled over Christine
Busalacchi, the woman severely brain-injured in a 1987 car accident, and
the efforts by Peter Busalacchi, to kill her by removing her life support?

"Anti-abortion forces scored a victory when St. Louis, Missouri, Probate
Judge Louis Kohn's decision to let Peter Busalacchi remove Christine
Busalacchi's life-support, was delayed by the State Supreme Court..."

"Anti-abortion forces scored a victory in preventing the killing of an
anencephalic newborn..."

The media has declared war on YOU. If you think I'm nuts, watch the next
segment of abortion coverage, and you'll know just how at war the media is,
against you. You'll see things you can't believe could possibly reflect the
pro-life movement. You'll go to your local pro-life group and see nothing
of the redneck Bible-Thumping male chauvenists that the media likes to
portray of you. If you can't understand where the media pro-lifer exists in
such large numbers as the media likes to blow it up to be, you are like the
majority of us. If you are a Reaganite who has 10 times more intellegence
than the Reaganite portrayed on TV, you know what Media Bias is all about.
If you are a pro-life Democrat and all you see are pro-life Republicans,
you know what Media Bias is all about. If you have seldom seen a woman's
face in coverage of pro-lifers, yet almost all you see at the meetings and
in the office, are women, you know what Media Bias is all about.

This is not the first time the media has done this. If African-American
readers out there (such as myself) have seen the Buckwheat image the media
and Hollywood presented of African-Americans, you know that a Buckwheat
Stereotype is being used by the media, on the pro-life movement. My father
once told me about how African-Americans were said to have tails; now,
pro-lifers have tails, if you listen to the media.




Your avenues of action are simple:

1) Be silent and let the media trample you to death.
2) Take action.

What kind of action? Try, for instance, getting into journalism. Pack the
future journalist ranks with pro-lifers. Let the pro-aborts of the 21st
century taste the kind of bias that we've been suffering from.

Or, you could take this article and expand on it. SPREAD THE NEWS. Let
people make the assumption that the media is fair, and then contradict it
with TRUCKLOADS OF PROOF. Let them see how bad the media is. Ruin the
media's credibility as badly as you can, among your friends, and if
possible, among the crowds.
At the next pro-life rally, arrange it so that the big speech is about
media bias.

Write mass letters to the newspaper about the bias of the media. Write to
your pro-life politicians.
Write, write, write. Make your voice heard. Don't give the media an inch of
running space. Corner them with their own actions, and never forget what
they've done. Make sure everyone else knows.

Who knows? One day, the media will be given such a negative stigma that it
will be a shame to be a reporter.
I see a day where calling someone a Media Journalist will be the equivalent
of calling them a liar, a deceit-meister, or, in modern day terms, a
Politician or a Car Salesperson. I see a day when the Media will bear the
public shame that it truly deserves, its reputation ruined by years of
pro-lifers, conservatives, and non-pro-abortion liberals, working hard to
expose the media for its willful lies and deceit.
I see a day when the public will be brought up to distrust what the Media
says, because THAT, my friends, would reflect reality.

If that sounds too extreme, then consider this fact: history will not
remember us by how badly the media talked about the pro-life movement, if
we lose. They will portray the pro-life movement as something little short
of Naziism, or maybe even worse. They will praise the media for its
"excellent job of fairness, which toppled the Nazi's once and for all."

I apologize if I sound extreme with this article, but fellow pro-lifers,
let's face it: how calm and non-extreme are your opponents? How friendly
will Ted Turner or Barbara Walters, be to you? How nice will the Mark
Kaufman's, PatricKKK Humphrey's, Adrienne Regard's and Susan Garvin's, be
to you?

The abortion debate is not a debate any longer. It's a war, folks. A war
that hasn't yet gotten violent and which, I hope, never will. If you don't
believe it's a war, try being nice to Adrienne Regard or Mark Kaufman, or
Ted Turner, and present them a calm discussion on this issue. They'll roast
you over an open flame. Mark Kaufman threatened a pro-life woman with her
personal safety. A woman who never, ever threatened him. Ted Turner
absolutely HAS to be seething after getting his tail kicked over that Roe
vs. Wade movie mega-flop. Can you expect HIM to treat YOU with kindness?
The last thing Adrienne Regard wants to see is her next abortion trip cut
off by the Human Life Amendment. Her least of all women on USENET, and
believe me, there is a competition over which USENET woman hates the HLA
the most. Do you think SHE will take kindly to you? PatricKKK Humphrey gets
so mad when pro-lifers challenge him, that he threatens them, makes racist
remarks, refuses to apologize directly to the person he made the remark to,
and eagerly awaits their arrival in his territory so that, likely, he and
his witnesses will make that the last anyone sees of them.
To say nothing of the Jim Jackson's of this world, who would take any woman
who opposes legal abortions for rape or incest, and if he got his wish,
they'd have to experience rape firsthand. As he so stated here on
talk.abortion. They say he retracted this, but how many other pro-aborts
out there, feel the same way as Jim Jackson, and who have not been
confronted by their own, for this feeling? More than a select few.

         And you *still* entertain notions that this isn't a war?

Any one of these three people would will you out of existence tomorrow if
they got as much as one magic wish. For them to say that isn't true, is a
bold-faced lie, and for you not to believe me, honestly, is an exercise in
naivety.

What I am trying to tell you, is that don't let your heart bleed too hard
for the pro-choicers and their emotions. They don't give an ant's piss
about you or your feelings. These pro-aborts are so politically
cannibalistic that THEY WILL DESTROY THEIR OWN KIND.
Siren, anyone?

On USENET and in the real world, you are dealing with the most ruthless,
merciless, heartless, unrelenting, hack-and-slashing force since Jim Crow,
and maybe even worse, when you deal with the pro-aborts.

You will doubtlessly chide me for this article today, and then get your
hide skinned off of you by these people, tomorrow, be it at a rally, or in
the next newsgroup article you respond to. And then you'll wonder if what I
said, was so off-mark after all.



The cruel fact of life is, extreme opposition requires extreme, focused,
logical and planned counter-action. If you quiver at the ethics of bringing
the media to ruin, rest assure, the media does not quiver at the ethics of
bringing YOU to ruin with biased news coverage. Never forget for one
instance, that the Media preaches tolerance at you day and night, yet
treats you with immeasurable intolerance. When you look into a reporter's
eyes, you are always staring into the face of a fierce and clever enemy.
Let them know you know what they are up to. Piss them off. Talk about
reporters at your next rally, call them names or whatever else. Take cheap
shots. They take cheap shots at you, so what else is new?

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? They want it worse than anything; it's either free
and legal abortion throughout all 9 months of pregnancy for any reason, or
nothing. And the day it becomes light and cheerful talk that a diabetic's
sister has intentionally conceived an unborn child to be killed to help
their diabetes, is the day that pro-aborts eagerly await. And the media is
helping them towards that goal, right now. Companies supporting the
pro-life cause, are helping to push them BACK, but only as long as WE give
them support.
They want it REAL BAD. The question now is, how bad do YOU want it?

I'm not advocating that we get pissed and start yelling at the media. This
entire article has not one "!" in it. (Well, except when I quoted Kate
Michelman, that is.) The Media will not know the intensity of our intent.
They will misjudge us as they have misjudged three Presidential elections
and two election seasons, on this issue. When we scream, they prepare for
the worst and then laugh at us as our efforts fail. But when we move
quietly, they ignore us and then wail horrendously when we do what we did
to Ted Turner. We must hit the pro-abortion movement - which includes the
activists and the Media - with the elements of surprise, forethought, and
good, sound strategy. And mobilization of the most intense kind.
BUT, if you run into a friendly journalist or you know of a friendly
journalist, make sure they are pointed out as EXCEPTIONS to the rule. There
are, as hard as it is to believe, some pro-life journalists in the Media,
which ought to be given a great deal of respect. Some pro-choice but
fair-minded journalists, like David Shaw, staff writer for the Times,
should also be treated as remarkable exceptions to the rule. Not all
reporters are as mean as Ted Turner or as forcefully biased as the editor
who told Ethan Bronner that the fetus is a part of the woman's body, like
a kidney, and that his scientifically accurate description of the fetus was
wrong lingo in journalism, and to refer to the fetus using the words
"forming bones" was distorting the issue. (Bronner won in the compromise
decision handed down by a higher editor, on that fight.)

Ultimately, we must bring to a swift and screeching halt the days where
pro-life means anything less than being downright American and equal to any
other well-meaning, well-spoken-of ideology. We must stand up for what we
stand for, and don't let anyone get away with portraying us to be an
illegitimate group in America. People slap us with the American flag and
say we're un-American, and only until we slap them back and identify them
as Eugenist, will we rise out of the Fundamentalist Fringe that the media
strives daily, to say that we come from.

If you don't gain respect for yourself, no one else is going to give it to
you. You gain respect by standing up for yourself and when someone like the
media plays the game unfairly, you beat or even eliminate them. Otherwise,
you can kiss political respect good-bye, forever. The first step towards
getting respect, is inflicting massive injuries upon the media, constantly,
just like we did to Ted "Pro Lifers Are a Buncha Bozos" Turner and his Roe
vs. Wade movie.
When the American people realize that elections can be won or list over
one's stand on abortion, and that pro-life politicians pack the most voter
muscle, they'll respect us. When the American people see media giants
tumble and tailspin for their biased abortion coverage, they'll respect us.
When the American people see us everywhere, refusing to be shunned off to
the Fringe, refusing to be regarded as lesser Americans, they'll respect
us.

But they won't respect us if we do it the Operation Rescue way. Our methods
must be calm, but intense. We must prove our intellectual stability, our
ideological diversity and ideological depth, and our concern for human
beings. The average American does not hate us - thanks to the media, they
just don't know us. While we bare our teeth and bite into the political
necks of the Kate Michelman's, Ted Turner's, and Ted Kennedy's of this
world, our efforts should turn towards discussion and work along common
grounds, with the people.
Separate the activist enemies from the people who come with open minds, and
treat the two kinds differently. There is no need to come off angrily at
your neighbor because they don't agree with you. The most effective agent
of change, is to be a LIVING CONTRADICTION to what they see on the Boob
Tube. Let them wonder, "Where in the world do these nuts really exist? Why
is it that I see something different than what the Media says?"
That neighbor may eventually think as badly of the media as you do, once
the see you, the Living Contradiction to the Media Propaganda.

Ultimately, even when you want nothing better than to see the ruin of the
Media for the bias they've put into this issue, KINDNESS will build the
foundation for your efforts. The nicer you are, and the uglier the media
gets as abortion rights takes harder and harder hits, the more Americans
in general, will be different from those March for Women's Lives marchers,
and the more they will wonder where the Media gets its perspective from.
When it becomes clear to the average American that they cannot trust the
media on the abortion issue, and that they must tune out the media to get
honest facts on the issue, the distrust will spread to the abortion rights
movement for their part in the media bias.

We can get the job done by being, in and of ourselves, contradictions to
the media stereotype. Make it so that the people don't know where the heck
the lunies and the fringies went, make them wonder why it is that they're
looking at women and civil libertarians and not just men and
bible-thumpers. Even when you are angry at the pro-aborts, be nice when
you're with the public; let the pro-aborts come banging their trash cans
and throwing coat hangers. They are only playing into our trap, by doing
these things. Let's not play back into theirs.
Do like we did at the Rally for Life in 1990 - pick up after the rally. Let
the media see how the environment is none the worse for wear when we come
to town to meet. Just like we did in 1990, in Washington, D.C. And never,
ever do like the pro-aborts did in 1992 - DO NOT THROW TENNIS BALLS INTO
THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN.

Combined with putting our financial support and purchase preferences into
pro-life-supporting companies, we will set into motion the biggest
political landslide disaster the pro-abortion movement has ever suffered.
They will lose momentum simply because they no longer will have the
advantage of pro-lifers being portrayed as the Lunatic Fringe. Once
pro-lifers are properly identified as closer to mainstream Americans than
the pro-aborts, as shown in USA Today's coverage of the April 5, 1992
pro-abortion march, legal abortion's downfall, with the possible exceptions
of rape & incest, is almost automatic.

Do you want to know what makes Frances Kissling, the leader of the
pro-abortion Catholics for a Free Choice group, tear her hair out? Her
advantage lies in being a turncoat for Catholics, adding Catholic diversity
to the pro-abortion movement. My advantage lies, as a Democrat, in adding
Democratic diversity to the pro-life movement. Your advantage, perhaps, is
the same. Maybe an invisible reader out there is a woman Democrat who
doesn't vote the way she's supposed to; the Frances Kissling's of the world
tear their hair out when they come calling for your vote, and find you
passing them by, looking for the Pro-Life Democrat petition to sign.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, angers the pro-choice movement more, than when
they run into women Democrats who "infect" our government with pro-life
votes. Joan Finney is hardly the least of them, being a pro-life Democratic
Governor of Kansas. Feminists for Life of America is one of the most
pointed connections we have, to this women's voting block. National
Pro-Life Democrats is another.

Indeed, no NOW leader wants to contemplate the fact that even the Media is
recognizing the negative stigma falling upon the NOW, now, even as pro-life
Feminists gain favorable coverage in their local areas. Can you see
Patricia Ireland when she sees the face of her opposite, Rachel McNair,
president of Feminists for Life of America, a group founded by two ex-NOW
members, such as Pat Goltz? Stress it. Make it known to your local NOW
friends. And buy them a special caseload of the plop-plop fizz-fizz stuff.
You will owe them at least THAT much. 
How could we be pro-life if we're killing our opponents with ulcers? :)

And never let the pro-abortion women make anti-male comments again, and
come off as being sensible at the same time. If your pro-life group has an
army of women members sitting in the back row, push a few men aside; your
majority power block is not sitting where it should be. Never, ever send a
male speaker to the podium, alone. Send a woman alone or send a man-woman
team, but never send a man alone. The pro-aborts will take the old
"abortion is only a woman's issue" cheap shot, leaving you looking stupid.
They won't say that to a woman speaker, lest she simply answer, "That's why
I'm here," making them look stupid.

Remember Mirianne Rea-Luthin, President of the Value of Life Committee of
Boston? When she was interviewed, she was asked to look angry for the TV
camera.
Well, pro-lifers, I have a game plan: why don't you fight for a local spot
on the next media abortion coverage show, and bring your Bible. Thump it
hard. Look MAD. You'll be picked first and foremost for that TV or Donahue
show when you declare your admiration for Operation Rescue. Then, when you
get on TV, be your usual, sensible mainstream self. And when the journalist
yells at you for not looking angry or thumping your Bible for the camera,
laugh at them. THEY'VE BEEN TRICKED.

                        Like I said, DON'T GET MAD.

I could mention a hundred other examples by which we can make the media
look like the blathering, lying fools that they are. But you already know
those examples, probably better than some 21-year-old college student like
myself.


And by these methods, we defeated the Pro-Abortion Giant myth of 1989, the
Roe vs. Wade movie of 1989, and we continue to hold back the Media
Onslaught against us, even to this day.
We made Kate Michelman eat her eternal words, "Take our rights, lose your
jobs!" It hasn't happened yet, Kate. Hope it tastes good going back where
it came from...
But all that can go to naught in a flash. One fatal slash from the Freedom
of Choice Act, on the left; another fatal slash from the right, as abortion
becomes a national free-ride at the expense of your tax dollars; and the
decapitating slash when fetal experimentation becomes funded by your tax
dollars.
How do we spell death? B-I-L-L  C-L-I-N-T-O-N. Coincidence: who does the
Media support now?



The ultimate questions sit in front of fellow pro-lifers now:

* You can either find and support pro-life supporters in the corporate
world, or let the pro-aborts boycott them into nonexistence or into
withdrawing from helping us, while companies turn and support the
pro-aborts. You can either watch as pro-lifers capture the millions needed
to sell their views on TV, or you can complain bitterly as pro-abortion ads
swamp your TV and you lose votes because of it. Which will it be?

* You can either do what it legally takes to ruin the media's reputation
altogether, and make Journalism a shameful task, OR when January 22, 2073
rolls along, you can read all about the defeat of the Nazi Bible Thumpers,
and realize that this is their historic description of the Right to Life
Movement. You can either watch the media fall into shame, or you can see
your movement burn forever in Media Hell. Which will it be?

* Pro-life women can watch as their sisters take pro-abortion women to task
for claiming to represent the socially mobile woman of the new society, or
you can whine and complain as the pro-aborts take over ALL of the Women's
Liberation movement, and send YOU off to the kitchen. Miss Buckwheat, enter
the kitchen on cue, please. Show us those bare feet and distended belly...
Now we have a PERFECT picture for the history books.

                       As I said, which will it be?
