Make a statement without saying a word

April 29, 2009 by Andrea Mrozek 4 Comments

The beauty of being a woman who is pro-life is that it is fairly easy to annoy my opponents simply by showing up. I don’t need to say all that much, when combatting the anachronistic notion that “abortion is a woman’s right.” I simply need to stand there (with shoes on, outside the kitchen!) and ask–hey, why is that self-evident? Because I don’t get it. And I don’t believe it. And by the way–that’s your opinion, not a fact.

Still, this little YouTube snippet reminds all of us not to shut up–whether you call yourself a conservative or a liberal is of no matter–most of our readers are here because they are pro-life. And my strategy on the life issue is two-fold, designed by prominent activist/communications gurus after much research and study. Ready?

One:  To show up.

Two: To not shut up.

Brilliant, non? Enjoy.

    Thanks for that link, Andrew Klavan is brilliant and he hits the nail right on its left-wing head. I have emailed the link to friends and family because I refuse to shut-up!

    This is great! Eloquent, truthful, concise, inspiring — good thing we got to see it before the “Net Neutrality” sort shut it down. When I was growing up, we weren’t allowed to say “shut up”, since that was a grave insult. It’s not allowed in my home now. Guess the liberals never learned that lesson.

    Woah. What does network neutrality have to do with anything? Network neutrality is not about neutral content, but rather about ensuring the packets are treated neutrality on a network. If anything, that’s ensuring a level playing field that’s the basis of freedom of speech (no discrimination against packets, against certain types of content or communications). I mean, the issues is much more complicated and there are reasons to be wary of network neutrality legislation (namely, with regulatory capture)… but I’m at a loss for how network neutrality is at all like the fairness doctrine.

    I thought this made some interesting and very true points, but its a two way street. The other perspective is guilty of this too. The very few times I’ve listened to Rush Limbaugh (sp?) I’ve noticed how dismissive he is of opposing views as he cuts them off the air…he drives me crazy. He’s not the only one either. But then again, the typical liberal perspective is: “you can be anything you want to be and think anything you want to think…as long as you’re a liberal.”

    I prefer a non-partisan stance where one can argue freely about issues, taking some from each side, while actually evaluating them instead of automatically going with whatever policial party or “wing” (right or left) that one “belongs”. Listen to each other, than thoughtfully consider the options. That goes for all sides and various positions on the spectrum.
