ALL PRO LIFE EFFORTS ARE THE SAME?

George Offerman

The amount of press nationally and internationally Randall Terry is getting is beyond anything compared to the rest of the pro life movement combined.  In fact, I’m not seeing any news story, or efforts by any of the groups that are garnering any attention in the secular media, and none of the leaders are making headlines, or openly challenging any of the candidates, especially the Republican presidential candidates to hold a true pro life position and to demonstrate any real standard of personal integrity and character to keep their word on any promises made.

It seems most of the pro life groups and leadership in this movement hold the same standards themselves that they allow the supposed standard bearers of the pro life banner to hold: simply pledge to discuss ‘dealing’ with the abortion issue and no one will dig into previous voting records, or closely examine the real story behind what has become false pledges over the past few decades.  Gingrich is no more pro life than believing marriage is for life, and Romney is no more pro life than his believing hell care is a ‘conservative value’.

Yet as these same pro life leaders give free passes to scoundrels, they trash Randall Terry incessantly and use every standard and argument against Mr. Terry that they ought to be doing for Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Romney.  As long as these pretender pro lifers mouth the right words, the shallow and daft pro life leadership will gladly throw their support behind these charlatans.  Then, after a few years of no results, the same pro life ‘leaders’ will be ‘surprised’ by the fact the status quo continues, and they once again will clamor for ‘change’ and revert back to the tired old playbook of ‘fund us more to do more’.

The press that Randall Terry is getting has to be worth millions, and is once again thrusting legalized child killing front and center.  When people see these ads, there is no other ay to react than that of great revulsion.  It will cause many who have not paid any attention to this issue to sit up and take notice, and view FOR THE FIRST TIME the vileness and evil of this abominable practice and blood sacrifice to demons.  This is how social change takes place.  And this is the way this very real war must be fought.  Anyone that tells you different is either naïve or a liar.

A case in point is a recent news clip from KY3 news in Springfield, Missouri, in which the news castors covered the story and made it abundantly clear they are forced to run the ads unedited due to federal campaign laws, and made multiple disclaimers on what they were showing.  This news story blurred out the ad, stating “it is too graphic to show on the network at this time”.  General Manager, Brian McDonough made two very interesting observations when commenting on the soon to be run ads.  Mr. McDonough stated “Regardless of where people stand on the issue of abortion, it’s our belief that no one wants to see or subject their family to dismembered body parts during the super bowl”.  He then ads “It is our hope that Mr. Terry will not put local TV stations in this no win situation and that he’ll agree not so air the ads”.  See Link:

This is the EXACT REASON why the ads must run.  It is to show ALL OF AMERICA the horrors of legalized child killing in the most graphic terms.  This is what the murder of innocent children looks like, and if it were simply a ‘choice’  that is no more or no less morally equivalent to owning property or choosing what to do for a living, then what is the big deal in showing it?  If it is really a legitimate ‘choice’ or ‘right’, it can’t be intrinsically wrong or repulsive, can it?  If it is legal, doesn’t that make it moral?  These are real questions that must be answered to really end legalized child killing, and nothing will give a stronger prompting to asking these questions than viewing the dead bodies of the victims of this holocaust.

This is why there is a major difference in actions that bring about change.  All actions and activities are not the same, and it is those activities that thrust the issue of legalized child killing front and center that are superior to activities that sanitize and hide the truth.  By sanitizing and hiding the truth, it only demonstrates the reluctance and fears of those claiming to be pro life are not bold enough to tell the unvarnished truth unapologetically, as is required by our faith.  In this war for the soul of our nation, timidity and half hearted efforts are only going to result in judgment from the Living God and will be most severe on those who betrayed the most innocent when they had the opportunity to do something about it.

There is no excuse for the pro life movement to not get behind these campaign commercials.  This opportunity is unprecedented, and there are no other groups doing what Mr. Terry is doing and garnering the attention of the nation in looking at the evil of legalized child killing.   This opportunity, most likely will happen only once, and when it is over, there will not be another opportunity to force this holocaust onto the majority of Americans and leaving a profound image in their heads that this holocaust must be ended, in its totality NOW!

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

George Offerman

It is interesting.  As more and more of the lame stream media write about Randall Terry’s candidacy and subsequent purchases of air times before and during the Super Bowl, it draws more attention to the message.  However, too many of the ‘prolife’ groups and  the movement in general are either ignoring the news, or are actually resisting it, and insisting they are doing as much, if not more to draw attention to the pro life issue, and doing it in a way that is not ‘offensive’ to most people’s sensibilities.  Really?  Why haven’t I or anyone else then seen or heard of these wondrous works that is bringing the issue of legalized child killing front and center in this election cycle?

There are some prominent pro lifers out there who are promoting the candidacy of Randall Terry, which ultimately allows for the full and complete exposure of dead babies without any apology or sanitization of the message.  Dr. Monica Migliorino Miller, whose photographs are being utilized for the commercials has stated “What Randall Terry is doing is bold, clever and necessary” in that it is forcing Americans to view the hidden truth of legalized child killing and forcing a crisis of consciousness upon people. 

  Joe Scheidler, acclaimed as the "Godfather of Pro-life activism," says:

 "Randy's campaign will save thousands of babies' lives. Let's help him!"

Jill Stanek, renowned pro-life columnist, says:

"Airing graphic ads during the Super Bowl represent a unique opportunity to show a huge number Americans the truth about abortion during the one time a year they actually look forward to watching commercials rather than ignoring them. Donate to air the ads here. The more money Terry gets, the more times he can run the ad."

It is wonderful to see these three individuals whose leadership is very well known within the prolife movement, as well as a few of the pro life news sites, promote this idea and see the need to show graphic pictures of dead babies, unedited during one of the most premier events of the year.  How unfortunate though, that the majority of the supposed pro life ‘leaders’ are once again MIA from this opportunity, and are pedaling their own efforts as at least as ‘noble and good’ or even superior to showing dead babies unedited during the Super Bowl.  How do I know that?  By the responses given by the leaders who have been approached and were asked to help with this effort.

I would like to throw out a challenge to these leaders (which make up the majority in the pro life movement).  What are you doing to bring attention to ending legalized child killing, and why have we not heard about it?  If all efforts are as ‘noble’ and as ‘good’ and as ‘effective’ where is the press coverage for your efforts?  What about the hate mail and death threats the Terry campaign is receiving?  Are you receiving the same?   What about the resistance one would expect from other ‘pro lifers’ when moving out of the comfort zone and actually confronting this grizzly and evil reality?  Is anyone else, anywhere running or showing unedited graphic ads on television that are getting national and international press and coverage?  I don’t see any and have not heard of any.  But I am still receiving tons of mail and e-mail wanting me to ‘contribute’ to many of these groups that claim to be hot on the trail of ending legalized child killing.  (While never mentioning the words legalized child killing or abortion and not using graphic images).

No, some efforts are superior to others, and efforts that convey half truths, are way more evil than those that present a full frontal assault on truth, as those efforts by the pro deathers do.  If these self-proclaimed leaders want to believe hiding from the truth and placating the enemy is the same morally as fearlessly telling the unvarnished truth, then these self-proclaimed leaders are very delusional, and drinking their own brand of cherry Kool-Aid.  Mediocrity has not been, nor ever will be excellence and no amount of window dressing and flattering language will change this fact.

These so called leaders know who they are, and for them to be so arrogant and self-aggrandizing that they think hiding in their kitchens and behind keyboards while throwing out their messages and organizing virtual protests is the same as taking bullets on the battlefield shows why there is little fear of legalized child killing ever coming to an end on their watch.  These leaders have no idea how to fight and win this war.  If they had any idea, they would gratefully promote and support efforts to get pictures of dead babies into the living rooms of Americans so they would have to look directly upon the ‘choice’ that the evil people have forced down the throats of this once great country.  But no, there is too much fear and too much placation of the enemy and too many ‘reward points’ to be lost if these leaders actually put themselves on the line for the babies.

There is no question that most of these leaders cannot be trusted to forward the naked truth of legalized child killing because they are too scared to do so.  When there are very lame ‘justifications’ such as claiming all efforts are morally ‘equal’, clearly these people have disqualified themselves as being true agents of change.  These so called leaders obviously do not see an unprecedented opportunity and are too busy worrying about how insignificant they will look in comparison to the mediocre efforts put forth on their watch to understand they could be part of a force that becomes unstoppable.  But most likely, one more time, this effort will be wasted, and the majority in this ‘movement’ will ignore this effort, while the lame stream media, one more time, CLEANS UP ON THEM.

Please, for the sake of the babies, contribute to the Randall Terry for president campaign, and truly make a difference for the babies.  To contribute, go to:

THE IRONY IS TOO MUCH

George Offerman

It seems there is now a ‘dispute’ over the use of graphic pictures in Randall Terry’s campaign, and the individual that claims to have the copyright of said pictures has made a claim to ‘sue’ if there is not an immediate ‘cease and desist’ of using these images. This individual has used extremely harsh language towards Mr. Terry, and has accused Mr. Terry of ‘piracy’ and stated he has not met the threshold of the very reasonable ‘licensing regulations’, which would then give Mr. Terry permission to use the images. The very ironic part of this story, is this individual cited the ‘very Unbiblical lawsuit’ leveled at Troy Newman’s ‘pirating’ the name Operation Rescue, which is a trademark issue. So, we have this individual who is claiming Mr. Terry has ‘disqualified’ himself from using copyrighted material due to ‘suing’ another pro lifer is now himself threatening to sue another pro lifer over essentially the same thing. The irony is dripping, much like the blood of the dead children.

This individual also happens to be an attorney, and it is rather ironic that as an attorney, he should be very clear on trademark disputes and should know how important it is for one to protect one’s ‘property’ whether pictures or organizations and identities. In an ironic twist, this individual confirms his right to ‘protect’ his property, while denying Mr. Terry the same right, and again, this is from an attorney who should know better. It is also rather ironic that this individual jumped to a conclusion about this trademark dispute, most likely without any investigation into it, as one would expect some due diligence from a so called ‘pro life leader’ to do. So, this individual is guilty of EXACTLY what he is claiming Mr. Terry is doing; yet he exonerates himself from the same standard he is enforcing onto others. It’s funny, how I wrote a piece just 2 days ago talking about the pro life ‘management’ and it is so ironic that this individual fits to the tee, what was mentioned in the post:

The Goats happen to represent those that ‘make a living’ in this ‘movement, and while they are extremely protective of their public image, they seem to have no problem whatsoever in trashing another’s if they happen to be challenged in matters in which they should be. Maybe the better word for them is managers. After all, they seem to be ‘managing’ the movement, and want to dictate the manner in which one operates in this movement, what is the protocol, or what is politically correct and to stay within the lines of their dictates, or else….



It is also ironic that the goal of showing dead babies is to raise the awareness of legalized child killing to the largest numbers of people, and now that Mr. Terry has proposed a way of getting this done, this individual is now refusing use of ‘his’ images, and thus denying his own stated goals of his organization. How ironic, indeed. It seems it is more important for this individual to ‘control the behavior’ of others, and want to dictate the terms of how this war is fought, than the end goal of ending legalized child killing and winning the war. This individual fits the ‘manager’ term to the tee.

However, the greatest irony is the fact that WHEN these ads run, and they cause the crisis of conscience needed to create the environment to overturn Roe, this individual and his pictures will receive no credit, nor will they have had any influence in this process. History will demonstrate that this pettiness shown by this individual effectively ‘iced’ himself and his organization out of a pivotal event in overturning the most horrific practice known to mankind. This individual must be made aware of what will be missed. This train definitely will be moving, and it will pick up speed. These matters proposed will happen, and you are either on board, or left on the platform. It is only the pride of this individual that is getting in the way of a unified front, but the only choice for this individual is to get on board, or be left behind.

SORRY, THERE'S NO ROOM AT THE INN

George Offerman

It is totally amazing how there is such a dichotomy in this ‘movement’ as to how people and organizations are viewed. The fallout of the last two postings sure has separated the ‘goats’ from the sheep and it seems the goats are consistently from the party of the ‘well known’ and supposed leaders who have made some rather interesting comments, and requests, and even innuendo’s about the happenings with Rabbi Levin. The Goats happen to represent those that ‘make a living’ in this ‘movement, and while they are extremely protective of their public image, they seem to have no problem whatsoever in trashing another’s if they happen to be challenged in matters in which they should be. Maybe the better word for them is managers. After all, they seem to be ‘managing’ the movement, and want to dictate the manner in which one operates in this movement, what is the protocol, or what is politically correct and to stay within the lines of their dictates, or else….

These managers are often slaves to the 501 c 3 status, and will do everything in their power to comply with the god of the IRS. If the managers are not enslaved to that particular god, then it is the god of political correctness. All efforts must revolve around ‘what is allowed’ and what ‘does not offend’. It is more important for the managers to be well thought of by most, including the enemy than to stand up for the gospel of Jesus Christ. And if it isn’t this god they bow to, it is the ultimate god of pride. These managers have ‘something to lose’ and are bound by earthly and man-made accolades, awards, and places at the banquet tables, comfort and convenience. Anything (or anyone) that distracts or threatens this needs to be ‘neutralized’. These are all signs of an institutionalization of the pro-life movement. It now has a life of its own, and like that of virtually any other organization, the prime directive is survival.

Then we have the sheep, or to phrase it better, the workers. These are the folks who want to see legalized child killing end. These are the folks who get up faithfully and pray and sidewalk counsel at the mills regularly. These are the folks who run the CPC’s on shoestring budgets and often reach into their own pockets to supply products and services to the women in need. These are the folks who scrimp and save, and sacrifice to send money to organizations in good faith that their money will be properly utilized in ending this holocaust. These folks are the vast nameless and unknown majority that truly makes this movement work. These folks are the ones who want to see this movement get it together and get the job done. Unfortunately, many of these folks have also been hurt and abused by many of these managers and organizations, and it is their cause that challenged me to rise and call out these managers when they abuse their place of power. These are also the same folks that write to me, believing I am a voice that represents them, and at times, boldly proclaims what they are thinking and feeling. It is for these folks that I am willing to take a hit from the ‘management’.

The stories and multiple numbers of emails I have received over the past 18 months have been inspirational, but also heartbreaking. There have been more than a few who have contemplated getting out of the pro life movement due to the bad behaviors of some of these ‘managers’ and many believed they were the only ones and felt ostracized and isolated. They have been comforted by my writings and open challenges of these ‘managers’ and most have reported my analysis has been ‘hitting the nail on the head’ concerning many of these individuals. They have bought into the hype surrounding these people, who may have national name recognition, and when criticized by these ‘managers’, believed they were ‘faulty’ and ‘had the problem’. That is the greatest source of abuse out there, and most corporations don’t practice such evil doings toward their employees. But somehow, many of the ‘managers’ do this regularly, and then hide behind the “Christianity’ moniker to cover their evil deeds. I say, TO HELL WITH THEM.

See, what the ‘management ‘ seems to forget is, they are fallible and ‘broken vessels’ like the rest of us. Somehow, many have fallen into the trap of arrogance and pride, because they happen to be well known. And way too often, they equate popularity to knowledge and courage, and believe they not only know better, but are the ‘way, the truth and the light’ and by golly, if one dares to question any of the motives of these ‘managers’, they are taken to task in much harsher tones than the enemy the ‘management’ has promised to fight. Too many of these ‘managers’ are bullies, and I hate bullies. But unlike many of the faithful workers, who may be too timid or embarrassed to stand up for themselves, I have no problem getting in the ring and ‘duking’ it out with these pretenders. As the saying goes “everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time”. These ‘managers’ are no exception, and they must pick up their crosses daily and engage in the battle like everyone else, not ‘manage’ it from the sidelines. If they don’t want to do it, then get the hell out of the way, and the real men and women warriors will step forward and get the job done.

So, there is no room at the inn for the ‘managers’ that want to ‘manage’ this movement and ostracize workers who have the ‘audacity to question or challenge them’. By virtue of the nature of the complaints and compliments I have received over the past months, those who want to see this holocaust end like what they see on this site, and those that ‘make a living’ off of this institutionalized’ movement have been consistent in their hate and derision of what they see, and squeal like greased pigs when called on their hypocrisy. The sad part is not in seeing a high flying’ manager’ fall, it is to see the worker, who puts their faith, heart and soul into this movement, only to have it stomped on, and that is the real crime.



I want to note that it was 19 years ago today, I witnessed the birth of my first child, Grace, and lost my greatest hero, my father. Rest in Peace, Dad

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

George Offerman

The clock continues to tick, and the vat majority of ‘pro life’ organizations have not gotten onto, or even mentioned the Missy Smith express on their sites, newsletters or fund raising letters. They have been silent in their endorsements, and have not sent on the information pertaining to Missy Smith’s candidacy and efforts to raise funds to show the TRUTH about LEGALIZED CHILD KILLING. These groups and individuals continue to ACTIVELY and KNOWINGLY dismiss and ignore Missy smith’s candidacy, and as such, betray this movement and propagate legalized child killing by SINS OF OMISSION. These groups may represent themselves as pro life, but in truth, they are only pro life by convenience and not by conviction.

Someone sent me a link to a story about women’s suffrage, and it is powerful indeed. These brave women decided that the right to vote needed to be given them, but unlike the vast majority of women who were pro women’s voting, these women decided to take this fight to ‘the belly of the beast’. This small band of women was determined to force this issue, and did what would be seen as ‘extreme’ by today’s standards: protest in such a way that they would be arrested for their efforts and go to the heart of the matter by appearing in the nation’s capitol and directly confronting then President Woodrow Wilson

33 women, led by Alice Paul, decided to protest right in front of the white House, and this challenged the Wilson administration directly. These women were arrested and charged with ‘obstructing sidewalk traffic’ and thrown in jail. Unfortunately for these women, the warden at the Occoquan facility gave his ‘blessings’ to 40 guards, who armed with clubs, proceeded to beat these women, and some nearly died from the abuse dealt them. This event on November 15, 1917 soon became known as the “night of terror” as this small band of women ‘dared’ to challenge the Wilson administration for the right to vote.

The brutality that occurred that night was outright criminal. Lucy Burns was severely beaten, then chained with her hands over her head to the bars in her cell, and was left there all night, bleeding and gasping for air. Dora Lewis was hurled into a dark cell, her head striking an iron bed and knocking her unconscious. Her cellmate, thinking she had died, sub sequentially had a heart attack. Many of the women were starved, and given a colorless gruel to eat, which was often worm infested. Alice Paul then went on a hunger strike, and was tied to a chair, had a tube forced down her throat, and had liquid poured down her throat until she vomited. It is reported this went on for weeks until someone smuggled this information out to the press.


Many were held for several months, and the powers that be attempted to have a psychiatrist declare Alice Paul insane in order to hold her indefinitely, and some say permanently in custody. The psychiatrist did the opposite, and declared Alice Paul strong and courageous, ‘which is not a crime’. These 33 (some semblance to another number, 88) persevered in their sufferings and convictions until they got what they wanted. On August 26, 1920 the 19th amendment passed and women now had the right to vote. This would not have happened without the courageous actions and witnesses of these 33, and in looking at what they were able to accomplish, many later stated it was worth the efforts.

Fast forward to 2010. We are going on year 38 of legalized child killing, and there are only a few our there who embody what the 33 did for voting. Babies are way more important than voting, yet those who claim to be for the babies are doing nothing but running with tail between legs. No one is asking for any of the ‘pro life leadership’ to go to jail and be beaten. In fact, no one is even asking the ‘pro life leadership’ to even break the laws. The ‘pro life leadership’ is only being asked to support someone who is taking severe abuse, with a few death threats thrown in for good measure, because she has more spine and ‘gonads’ than most of the men out there, and definitely nearly all of the so called leadership out there.

I cannot imagine Alice Paul, if she were alive today, advocating a letter writing campaign, or a ‘virtual march’ to sell her ideas of victory. But that’s exactly what the ‘leadership’ is doing in the pro-life arena. Alice Paul would be right in the middle of this and challenging and confronting those who needed to hear the truth. What we have instead is a bunch of wimps and girly men who kowtow to organizations such as the IRS and all the politically correct lunatic fringe elements that might be ‘offended’ by language and graphic images. Shame on you, leaders of the so-called pro-life groups who do not support Missy Smith. You curse the ground of those who came before you to pave the way for life, liberty and freedom. Fear rules you, and if you don’t want to carry the banner of life for babies courageously, then get out of the way, and support those who do.
