- Let me make it clear, Steve. Mary Cunningham is pro-life. She contributes
- to the pro-life movement by providing non-abortive CHOICES for women. There
- are hundreds of things an organization can provide a woman so that she will
- not feel cornered into aborting. Mrs. Cunningham's modus operandi is to shame
- universities, corporations, and other organizations, who like to call them-
- selves "pro-choice", into providing MORE than that one choice. Under the
- banner of choices for women, she convinces them to actually PROVIDE choices.
-
- Don'tcha get it, Steve? Most self proclaimed pro-choicers, say like
- Rocker/Cathi Cook, are pro-"choice" in name only. They do NOTHING to
- provide women with any choice BUT abortion. Mary Cunningham is truly
- pro-life/pro-choice. She has always been anti-abortion, but she was
- galvanized into action by the miscarriage of her own child.
-
- It was that simple.
