I\u2019m a regular reader, occasional commenter. I really appreciate the work you\u2019ve been doing on the Live Action issue. Here in the trenches, I can\u2019t tell you how important is the moral integrity of the pro-life movement. So often when we talk to legislators, they throw back at us every offense ever committed by pro-lifers. In the old days it was acts of violence, but now it\u2019s lies. For example, we\u2019re fighting a bill in NYC that accuses crisis pregnancy centers of deceptive practices, and the legislators eagerly fall upon every possible instance of lying or deception by any pro-lifer to prove their point. It\u2019s very discouraging when we\u2019re trying to influence the law, but we\u2019re undermined by the misguided tactics of our own side. The heroes who advocate lying never have to sit at a table and have the lies thrown in their faces, and then used as an excuse for dismissing all our arguments.<\/p>\n
