so about *cough* philosophy *cough*

hmmm so have been thinking lots about philosophy this morning, and talking about it with mom, and i think maybe ....er... dr. *** isn't quite right. i mean as far as getting more ppl there, and bringing more attention to ourselves, definitely! but i don't think our goal is to disrupt the process of abortion. it is to change the minds and hearts of these women. i mean, i don't think i'd mind yelling things and the "doctors" and "nurses" and whatnot, but as far as the women going in... i dunno...i wouldn't want to talk at somebody yelling at me, and then later when i was feeling miserable and horrible, well i wouldn't want go to them for comfort-- that's the last place i'd expect to receive it from. hmmm need to read msgr. reilly's thing, but i think sidewalk counciling and protesting are two very different things, and at this point, i suppose i'm not sure how they can be combined. aren't we more of ministers of God's Word, than...sigh. though i do think that's great advice, and i'm still totally up for a field trip to see a protest on a college campus.

but ohohoh!!!! mom and i were thinking, what if the saturday before mother's day, we had an all day vigil outside the clinic, get it advertised in all the parish bulletins, and word of mouth of course, and along with the pamphlets and whatnot, passed out roses too!!!! and said "here, this is for mom" really, what woman wouldn't stop for a rose? and then roses are the symbol for life too! and they'd have to listen to us! at least for a second! the only problem is that it's the 13th, and i'm thinking the seniors have exams the next week

so that's what's on my mind this evening, besides the moral accomplishments of fanny price, durgh!
