Teens bused to Albuquerque to protest ‘abortion holocaust’ outside actual Holocaust museum

[Playinghardball]

As part of its “Do You Know? Do You Care?” campaign, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust staged a protest Thursday outside of the New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum. The activists not only held signs reading “ABQ: America’s Auschwitz,” they entered the museum to hand out leaflets and demand it commission an exhibit comparing the Holocaust to abortion. They did not, by their own admission, know much about the laws they came to protest.

“Since I just got here, we’ve been learning about [Albuquerque's abortion laws] since then, so I don’t know too much,” confessed one teen to a reporter from KOB Eyewitness News 4.

The activists were mostly from California, and some of them paid $250 to attend the “FIRST-EVER ProLife Leadership Camp,” hosted in Albuquerque because the group considers it to be “the Abortion Capital of the Southwest and the Late Term Abortion Capital of the country.” An anti-abortion coalition that includes Operation Rescue claims to have collected over 25,000 signatures from Albuquerque natives in support of an October ballot measure that would ban abortions after 20 weeks.

Residents who spoke to KOB, however, were unwilling to accept the comparison of their city to a Nazi concentration camp.

We are hurt and outraged that these out-of-state extremists would come to our city and disrespect one of our most important landmarks like this,” one said.

1. What in the fucking hell is a Survivor of the Abortion Holocaust?

Those fuckers just love to make up crazy ideas. See: The rights of the unborn. Absurd.

9. It's like the really dark joke that went around on my high school speech team

(one of the categories you could compete in was "extemporaneous" speaking, in which you were given a topic and basically had to adlib a five-minute speech about it. The claim was made that, at some speech tournament, somewhere, someone was given the topic "I Was An Aborted Fetus".)

2. God, that is so fucking sick!

So many people in our cracked dystopian society are mentally aberrated,
just so sick

[NoPasaran]

3. Well, that's classy

[hunter]

4. It's a two for one protest: Anti-abortion and anti-semite.

That's win-win for the Christian Fundamentalist.

[AngryOldDem]

5. Just beyond offensive.

But nothing that comes out of the pro-life camp surprises me much anymore.

[Bandit]

6. I wish people would stop referring to them as "pro-life" they certainly are not.

They are indeed anti-abortion, but they mostly back every war and every gun dealership, and most back the tobacco industry as well as the oil industry and most are for the death penalty. There is no way in Hell they can be considered even close to "pro-life"...

7. Fucking disgusting.

[sakabatou]

8. Ugh.

[Ken Burch]

10. The sickest part of it is, back in the Thirties,

these would have been the sort of people who would have DEMANDED that FDR keep Jewish refugees out of the country.

[Mr. David]

11. Actually, let the pro-life asshole take a long look at the Holocaust museum, and come out and

tell me they're pro-life.

Assholes.

[Bunnahabhain]

12. I hate seeing kids and teens used in the culture wars

This is particularly heinous.

[millennialmax]

13. Some of them are going to feel like idiots in about 5 to 10 years, if not sooner.

The whole thing is sick, sick, sick.

[KamaAina]

14. Oy vey.

[47of74]

15. This makes me fucking sick.

These worthless fucks. They make me absolutely sick.

[jmowreader]

16. The sickest part of it all...

...is the documented fact that pro-lifers whose teens become pregnant have no problem with taking them for abortions. It's just your slutty trollop who can't keep her pants on that needs to pay for her sin by dropping out of school to raise her little bastard spawn...but good Christian daughters, they have bright futures ahead of them that being teen mothers would ruin.
