I Didn't Think Church Militant Could Go Any Lower -- And Then They Attacked the Pro-Life Movement!

Church Militant reached a new low when they let two sanctimonious, self-righteous boys (Dave Gordon and Joe Gallagher) do a Resistance podcast titled, Why the Pro-Life Movement is so Pathetic. They illustrated pathetic all right -- just how pathetic Church Militant (CM) and their phony "resistance" movement is. They proceeded to trash the pro-life movement as a whole, with particular vitriol leveled at the March for Life (MfL)! 

As someone who has spent almost my entire adult life from age 26 (before Roe v. Wade) to nearly 75 fighting for babies in the womb, I was appalled and disgusted by what I heard in this 45 minute diatribe that labeled just about everybody in the pro-life movement "pathetic" (except themselves of course). These white-hatted heroes have all the answers and are galloping in to rescue us all and eliminate abortion in the blink of an eye. I think they see themselves as the brave protagonists in a wild west movie. "Hi-ho, Silver!" Only one question: Which of you cretins is the Lone Ranger and which is Tonto?

They began their podcast illustrating total ignorance by saying the March for Life was cancelled. Remember how CM likes to portray themselves as great "investigators" who always see the "elephant in the room." Somehow, they managed to miss several hundred thousands marchers. Here's Dave displaying his ignorance:

Dave Gordon: So Today, Joe, as you know, the March for Life was recently cancelled. [No it wasn't! Some of the indoor events were cancelled or restricted because of D.C.'s draconian COVID rules, but the March went on with hundreds of thousands witnessing to the sacredness of human life.] I want to talk a little bit about the March for Life. In fact I want to, in a lot of ways, condemn the March for Life. I think it’s a useless exercise. I think it’s is run by feckless, spineless people [like March founder Nellie Gray?] who’ve been doing nothing for the past  30 or 40 years about the actual abortion problem except for posturing, virtue signaling, and using the issue of abortion to drive personal gain and gain for their groups. [I know some of those groups: Christendom College, Defend Life, Tradition Family Property (TFP), Knights of Columbus, Silent No More, Franciscan Friars for Life, Red Rose Rescue, etc. - all now labeled by Dave and Joe as "useless." They attend the March only to virtue signal and make money for their groups which could be better spent donated to CM.] The March for Life has lost its way. It’s misguided. I think it’s devolved into little more than a social party for people who want to essentially attend a social gathering, prance around the capitol, feel good about doing their, you know, good deed for the year, um, their bit of activism for the year and then retire back to their quarters after having made a, possibly, a group of new friends or social media contacts.

The boys went on to vilify Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood administrator who now works to help abortion workers get out of the killing business. She's convinced many to leave through her organization, And Then There Were None. Keep in mind that one of the most effective ways to end abortion is to limit access as Life Dynamics promotes. Whenever someone leaves the abortion business it saves lives!

Abby Johnson is a repentant sinner. Yes, she committed sins that cry to heaven
 for vengeance. So did Michael and Milo. How come they can be forgiven
 and be CM heroes and she is vilified? What hypocrisy.

What gives these two arrogant cowboys (my apologies to real cowboys) the background to criticize the pro-life movement and define who its heroes are? Have they given thousands of talks about fetal development and abortion like Jack and Barbara Willke, often described as the parents of the pro-life movement, who never charged for their abortion talks? Or Dr. Bill Hogan who inspired me to get actively involved? Or Fr. Paul Marx, the warehouse priest who founded Human Life International? Do they even know who these people are?

Did Dave and Joe devote years to lobbying for legislation to protect the babies like Nellie Gray, founder of the March for Life, whom I knew personally and loved and respected? Have they ever rescued and been arrested at an abortion business or organized a Truth Tour like Joe Scheidler and his protege Jack Ames of Defend Life? Did they know Fr. Norman Weslin, Fr. Baby Doe, who was jailed countless times and joined, in his old age, the protest at Notre Dame when the university honored Barack Obama, baby killer extraordinaire?

How many hours have Dave and Joe spent sidewalk counseling outside abortion businesses? How many rosaries have they said there as they accuse the marchers of engaging in "show rosaries?" How many times have they been to court for their pro-life activism? How many pregnancy help centers have they opened and manned? How many hours have they spent counseling women and their partners, sorting baby clothes, and doing pregnancy tests? How many women have they found shelter homes for? 

What have you done, boys, besides slandering and accusing the real activists while you pontificate from your guru's studio and tell the rest of us how useless we've been for "30 or 40 years?"

Do I sound angry? You're reading me right. CM does nothing but tear down and accuse! Who, pray tell, is the accuser in the Bible? These two boys (I certainly can't call them men!) are walking in the footsteps of their leaders, the treacherous trio of Michael Voris, Christine Niles, and Simon Rafe. They imitate their pathetic cult leaders well with their slander and contempt for others. They would do better to follow Thomas a Kempis by reading the Imitation of Christ.

You call the March for Life evil and useless! CM is the group that's evil and useless. Worse than useless. You tear down all that's good and beautiful in the Church while you "prance" and "posture" and "virtue signal," and pat yourselves on the back over your two dozen resistance podcasts, as if your endless blather accomplishes anything.

How dare you say Abby Johnson is just a money-grubber who's tooting her own horn and expects to be praised after killing babies for ten years? There was a much bigger "money-grubber" who supervised over 50,000 abortions before he converted and spent the rest of his life in atonement as a pro-life warrior. Bernard Nathanson exposed the abortion movement like no one ever has. And when he spoke, you could hear the grief in his voice over his sinful past. He is one of those "sinners" who will get into heaven before all you pharisees in the CM/Michael Voris cult. Michael Voris thinks his sinful past makes him a holy victim soul. Give me a vomit bag! So whom do you follow, boys? Jesus Christ or Michael Voris? The answer seems pretty clear. Whom you imitate is your god.

Former abortionist, Bernard Nathanson addressed the 1998 MFL as did Norma McCorvey and Mary Cano, the Jane Roe and Mary Doe of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton.
They became pro-life heroes!

As for all those "501C3 groups" you accuse of just going to the March for Life to make money and "pray the show rosary," I know many of them. Students from Christendom College take a van to northern Virginia to pray the rosary outside abortuaries every week and have been doing it for years. Defend Life works every day of the year to save babies and does a weeklong Truth Tour in towns around the Washington beltway every summer, standing for hours in the brutal heat with signs exposing the reality of abortion. The Genocide Awareness Project of the Center for Bio-ethical Reform usually has a giant display about abortion at the March. They take it to colleges and universities and talk to the students. Women considering abortion have changed their minds because of their work. We've been subsidizing one of their "missionaries" for years!

The Knights of Columbus always provide marshals for the March. Our local council helped provide an ultrasound machine to the Front Royal pregnancy center and also organizes the annual Life Chain in Woodstock that witnesses to hundreds of drivers. A few years ago, I helped the Red Rose Rescue group give out cards at the March advertising their movement. They send courageous warriors into the waiting rooms of abortuaries to give roses and offer assistance to the moms about to kill their babies. Some are  arrested and even go to jail. These are all the "useless, feckless, toothless, pathetic" pro-life 501C3 groups that accomplish nothing according to Dave and Joe.

Go suck eggs, you two pathetic "soyboys." (Pardon the expression. I learned it from Church Militant.) 

This isn't over. More to come on this pathetic, slanderous, disgusting podcast!
