WP: (Forced Birth) Movement Gets a Youthful Infusion

[MountainLaurel]

Billy Valentine, whose parents met as activists in the 1980s, was virtually born into the "pro-life" movement. Now the earnest college student from Alexandria is carrying on their message with a twist: persuading other young men to take responsibility and "stand up for life" when their girlfriends become pregnant.

"As a sidewalk counselor, I wait outside abortion clinics until the men come out to use their cellphones. I tell them I'm not there to judge them. I'm there to help," said Valentine, 20, one of about 800 participants in the District yesterday for the annual conference of Students for Life of America. "Sometimes they break down and cry and go back and bring out their girlfriends to reconsider."

Ellie Baum, a student at Purdue University who rode 14 hours in a bus to attend the conference at the Catholic University of America, said she was inspired to join the antiabortion movement after witnessing the birth of her sister's child three years ago.

"From that experience, I realized there was no difference between a child after it's born and when it's in the mother's womb. It made me really passionate about this issue," said Baum, 20, an engineering major from Wisconsin. "Every day, as many people die from abortion as the number who died in 9/11. We have to stop it."

Let me guess: a sidewalk counselor is one of those blowhards who throw plastic fetuses at women trying to get pap smears? How much you wanna bet one of these idiots is involved in an unwanted pregnancy and they'll be first in line at Planned Parenthood the next day?
:wow: :puke:

He'll make a shitty engineer, if he doesn't see the problems with the above statements. :eyes:
