Matty_boy Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 stop paying taxes. If every pro-lifer sopped paying taxes, the gov't would have no choice but to ban abortion. The gov't would start arresting people but where would the kids go? The state couldn't take care of them. The gov't coulnd't support anything because they wouldn't have any money or jail space or anything. Abortion would be over very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 not paying taxes is NOT the answer. taxes'll just be raised for everyone. it won't help the cause and it'll hurt the country and it's citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjtina Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 recieved this in the mail today: Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Her Request of Priests for Life by Fr. Frank Pavone In June of 1994, I visited Mother Teresa in Calcutta and discussed strategies of the pro-life movement. Four months earlier, mother Teresa had given her powerful prayer breakfast speech in Washington DC in which she declared, "The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?" I thanked her for that speech and told her many Americans saw it on television. But she wanted to reach those who had not seen it, and brought me a copy of it, typed out by a rather primitive typewriter. She asked if I could spread it to more people and I promised that through Priests for Life, we would spread it far and wide. We have been doing so for the past ten years, completely FREE of charge. You too can help fulfill her request. Contact us for copies of the powerful speech for your parish, school, prayer group, Bible study, family and friends!

Matty_boy Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 i think you missed the point aloysius. The state couldn't just increase taxes. It would take way more money than the state could ever dream of raising to put all of the non tax paying people in jail, take care of their families. remember, 70% of americans say they're pro-life (not my statistic). So if 70% of the people stopped paying taxes, there's no way that the other 30% could support the country. If the gov't raised taxes enough to cover their costs of imprisoning everyone, the free ones would riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimlog Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Great story for you guys. My youth group goes to the March for Life in Washington D.C. every year. I was so excited when I signed up because this is a topic I feel so strongly about. When I woke up at 5:00 to get ready for morning mass before our trip I happened to take my green scapular. I don't know why I took it when I left but I felt something inside that I had too. On our way down to D.C. we got a list of our representatives in the house and senate and stated their position concerning abortion. One senator from our state was listed strictly at PRO-CHOICE. When we saw that we knew that we had to pay him a visit to try and persuade him. An adult on the trip said, "How cool would it be if we could put a green scapular in his office and pray for a change in his views." I overheard this and spoke up. I pulled out my green scapular and had it blessed by our priest that was traveling with us. After the march we went to his office. He was unable to speak to us because he was in a meeting. So I gave the scapular to an adult and she snuch under a seat cushion in his office. We left the building feeling so great not to mention sneaky. That year are senator's mindset started to change. He then voted against partial-birth abortion and continues to move towards pro-life. Recently he said that he is against abortion, he just feels that the government should not have a say. Slowly but surely he is coming around the mountain. My friend went on the trip this year and went to his office again. After 365 days the scapular was in the exact same spot as before! What a miracle and great story. The March for Life is an unforgettable experience. Try it if you have the chance and continue to write your legislatures! :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
