A few years ago when Mississippians voted against the 'Personhood' amendment, Amendment 26, in, according to some at least, the most religious state in the nation, I stood holding a 'No on 26' sign from dawn to dusk down the street from a polling station. I have never received such good will sent my way on any other occasion. Cars going by honked, people waved, people stopped to tell me they had just voted against the amendment or were on their way to vote against it. I felt like an Olympic hero must feel bringing home the gold. They were of all ages and races.
.
Until one guy came up to me, Bible literally in hand, and started to berate me for encouraging people to kill babies. We went through the usual discussion, that a zygote or a fetus is not a baby, that it's the woman's decision to choose what to do with her own body, and so forth.
.
Then I asked him what he would do if his wife got raped? (He was wearing a wedding ring.) Note: his wife was nowhere to be seen.
.
He told me she would bear the child. Then I asked him what they would do once the child was born. He said they'd give it up for adoption, of course. When I asked him why they would not keep it, he said it would be the child of a crime and not of their blood.
.
So what does his attitude tell me? One, that he did not for a second consider what his absent wife would have thought about it, that he made a decision for another person about what she would do with her own body, and three, that, once the child was given away to the adoption agency, he would completely wash his hands of the matter.
.
So just who are these people who proclaim themselves 'pro-life'?

    On Friday, a Washington man named Curtis Anton Beseda was charged with 1st degree child molestation of an 11-year-old child at a local grocery store. When confronted by a store employee, Beseda stopped fondling the little girl and fled, escaping any immediate capture or arrest. But, the molestation was actually caught on the store's video cameras, so the police were able to have local media broadcast the man's face out to the public, looking for help with his identity.
.
    Beseda claims that the abortion clinic bombings were "for the glory of God." And so what about the child molesting? Is that too for the glory of God??
.
    As insane as this is, Beseda is actually considered a hero and a martyr for the pro-life movement. They even honored him at their 1995 national banquet, and read his hand-written letter from prison to the gathering. In his letter, he pleaded for support for Shelly Shannon, who was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for the 1993 shooting of a Kansas abortion doctor. She also set fire to more than 6 clinics.
