Yesterday the Madison International Socialist Organization came out to protest our 40 Days for Life campaign from 11a.m. – 1 p.m. Really, what they were doing is throwing a BIG temper tantrum. They want us to agree that “abortion is health care” and “abortion is a right” yet, of course, we cannot do that. We say “No, abortion is not healthcare. No, abortion is not a right.” They don’t like being told, “No”, so they throw a BIG temper tantrum. As parents, we have all dealt with temper tantrums. Some ways to deal with them include: 1. Ignore it and say, “I can’t hear you when you are throwing a temper tantrum.” 2. Remove the child to another room/location until the child is finished. 3. Remain silent – Wait it out and stand by patiently until the child is finished.
The same strategies hold true when dealing with the Socialists BIG temper tantrums. The difference is that they are supposed to be adults. (Not that they are in any way acting like adults.) We also add #4 to the list of how to deal with a Socialist BIG temper tantrum. Call the police (911) if they show up and start berating you. They should be arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Harassment.
We don’t anticipate that they will come by at random times. They organize counter protest events that thankfully we are able to find out about and alert the police so they will have a presence there when the Socialists come out. If the Socialists plan to be out during a time you are there, you will be notified by us.
They are trying to intimidate us so that we will not witness for LIFE outside of Planned Parenthood anymore.

A Prayer to St. Jude for Tomorrow
St. Jude, you are with me in all that is new. May your path of hope be mine in the days ahead. I promise in faith to share your hope with others, to forgive as I am forgiven by my Father in heaven, and to show sympathy and kindness at every opportunity. Guide me, St. Jude, so that I will begin each new day with gratitude on my lips, with truth on my mind, and with hope in my heart. Challenge me, St. Jude, so that I will end each day reflecting on my actions and motivations so that I will grow in faith, love, and hope.
Amen.
