She is spreading this hatred around, as if there isn't enough of it in the world already. <BR/><BR/>I'm stunned, (almost) speechless and it makes me want to send out even more loving and comforting thoughts and prayers to those who actually have experienced the loss that is far too familiar to many of us. Surely, with such venom in her heart, Gina cannot know peace. <BR/><BR/>It is in the name and spirit and very soul of the babies I have lost that I pray that she finds that peace. I’m not trying to sound holier-than-thou/she; I am enraged and beside myself with anger. And still, in <B>this</B> loving community of women and men, our truest self is balanced at, and by, <B>peace</B>. <BR/><BR/>It’s all I can focus on right now, like a mantra to bring me back from the brink of her insanity.

This is exactly why I never call myself pro-life, because I don't want to be lumped in with angry black and white thinkers like this. I second the thanks to you, Mel, for mentioning the option to use more words than just pro-life and pro-choice to discuss abortion.
