If you have any anger/hatred towards the Christian religion,
the pro-life position or those who follow Christ, do not click on this site
below or the conitnuation of this blog excerpt.
In fact, make note of the movie so that you DON'T see the film by accident
at your local theater. It is the story of David Ripley, of Idaho Chooses
Life....or it ought to be. (See below - continuation)
It's actually about William Wilberforce, tireless M. P. and crusader against
slavery in the late 1700's. The story interweaves the lives of John Newton
(writer of the too-well-known song Amazing Grace) and Mr. Wilberforce.
Do not visit the site or see the movie if you relish owning the hatred in your
heart. You just might come away a changed person.

Mr. David Ripley was the Pro-Choice community's number one
lobbyist and political strategist for years. I know, because he repeatedly beat
me in "killing" any and all pro-life legislation. He was directly responsible for
the 1991 veto of HB 625.
In the early-to-mid-90's Mr. Ripley had a faith-encounter that came as a result
of the abortion of his own son by his then-wife. "Read your own damn
literature" was the quote at that moment....It tore at the very fabric of
who he thought he was.
No longer a believer in abortion, like Newton and Wilberforce against slavery, Mr. Ripley began working on legislation to
secure the personhood of children in the womb. See http://www.idahochooseslife.org
12 years later his efforts, and those of his new wife, Wendy, have begun to pay off.
As Wilberforce saw slavery from a strategic position, so does Ripley see abortion. It took William Wilberforce almost 50 years to end slavery in Great Britain.
David Ripley has many years left to accomplish the same goal of ending abortion in the US, beginning in Idaho
That's Amazing Grace.
