....you may want to spread the word about this censored Pro-Life video that was removed from that popular video site that shows EVERYTHING

!!

If you read to the end you'll get a link to the new video posting and it does catch a pro-abort fanatic with her....well lets just say her hand in the cookie jar to put it mildly.

Unbelievable

!

Um, when I first read your post, I thought you were saying that it was a video that showed an abortion being performed or something. I was a little disconcerted and I could kind of understand why YouTube might be hesitant about something like that.

After reading the article and actually watching the video, which has been re-posted on YouTube, I was really relieved to find I had misunderstood you. While I totally believe that the woman was wrong for misleading pro-life leaders in order to distort and make fun of their words and intentions, I don't believe the "gotcha video" is vary flattering to Carlos Polo, either.

He basically confronts her and every time she even attempts to say anything in explanation he interrupts her with more accusations. Then he walks out of the room. I understand if he was frustrated, but I think that what he did was just as rude and uncharitable as what she did and tried to do. It doesn't exactly invite sympathy.

I think it would have been a better "gotcha" if he had let her finish her thoughts and then used logic and proof to discount her. Instead of just hurling accusations at her, it would have been more effective to question her on her role and participation with this group. I think his behavior just reinforces their assertion that pro-lifers are rabid, crazy, and irrational.

I think he had a real opportunity to not only make this group look extremely bad to the mainstream population and possibly to witness to this woman. I think he kind of blew it.

I see no reason, though, why YouTube should have removed the video. It was pretty innocuous compared to a lot of stuff they allow.

Hi Barbara,

I can definitely see your point and I think it would apply in lots of situations but here I think Carlos did very well.

In this case charity meant exposing the wolves in sheep's clothing to the innocent who are being deceived.

These Latin american pro-life workers have been dealing with Western Feminists and their deceptions for 40 or 50 years now. They have no doubt been praying for their tormentors, yet in this situation Carlos never asked for this interview nor encouraged it.

He was going to be filmed for the purpose of being used by the feminists to fool people and deceive them.

He decided to bring his cameras only after finding out he was being lied to. She no doubt would never have been caught in that situation had she been an honest filmmaker.

It is amazing how these pro-death journalists can use and twist one little quote or shot to their advantage, even if the pro-life advocate says nothing but truth. I'm glad he didn't give her the chance. Once he was on camera there would have been nothing he could've done to stop their defamation.

Thanks to everyone who's watched!
