A very scary Halloween sight

Halloween is very big in our neighborhood -- tons of kids running around, most houses decorated, many families sitting out in their front yards enjoying some fellowship.  A really festive, child-centered evening every year.  Added to the mix last night was an organized, house-to-house fundraising effort by a whole group of NARAL/Pro-Choice America representatives.  It was mind-boggling.  A whole pack of young children, dressed up and laughing, holding their bags out for candy, and literally into their midst a grown-up walks up with a clipboard and asks for support to help defend abortion rights.  At first I was offended, and then I decided that perhaps this was the best of all nights for them to be making their case to the public.  They should be speaking from the midst of children, rather than from a brochure or conference podium -- it was a powerful reminder of what's at stake.
