"Abortion is *$*%*@ awesome!"
“Abortion is *$*%*@ awesome!”
The expletive from the man probably made him feel good. “Boy, that really put them in their place,” may have been his mindset as he hurled his invective at the praying crowd at Planned Parenthood. And profanity is often a tool of the inarticulate.
He does pose an interesting question, don’t you think? An entire political party thinks abortion IS awesome. So what could possibly be awesome about abortion? I think the human abortion crowd would identify three “awesome” aspects of unfettered human abortion:
So this guy driving a junker walks up and hands me a twenty dollar bill
The man drove a junker.
I was standing outside of a Planned Parenthood human abortion clinic here in Des Moines. I was praying the Rosary with friends, prayers on behalf of the preborn, their moms and dads, and even the workers in the human abortion factories, when I heard his car …
Planned Parenthood under attack
In Iowa, Planned Parenthood is closing clinics and scaling back hours in others as 40 Days for Life continues.
Read MoreA beautiful morning praying at Planned Parenthood in the rain
We had an affect on a couple of passing cars that we do know about. One gentleman pulled into the parking lot and walked over through the rain to give us $20.

Something big is happening right now. It goes by two names: 40 Days for Life … or … 40 Days of Hell. The name depends on your perspective.

By Tom Quiner I participated in an event called 40 Days for Life as recounted in my blog posts on October 7th and 8th. I stood with others in front of the Planned Parenthood facility where abortions are performed. We quietly prayed for the unborn in Des Moines and throughout America. I’m a small cog…
Read MoreHere’s what happened at Planned Parenthood yesterday
By Tom Quiner The weather was perfect. We prayed. We held up signs promoting life and discouraging abortion. As a marketing guy, I counted the number of cars going by at certain times so I could extrapolate the number of cars that saw our pro-life message. I’d guess we reached about 3500 cars in our…
