"Fight terrorism, save the unborn"!
My mom and I saw this bumpersticker on a huge SUV in the grocery store parking lot this evening. We're still trying to figure out just exactly what in the hell it's supposed to mean. Even for repukes, it makes no sense.

Can anyone explain just WHAT THE FUCK THIS MEANS?

12. Never mind that they don't
give a damn about that fetus once it's born, and they couldn't care less about Iraqi babies and children torn apart by our bombs and ammunition.

My former doctor was strongly anti-abortion. Yet, he refused to treat poor pregnant women because Medicaid didn't pay enough and he didn't even volunteer at a crisis pregnancy clinic or anything like that. I called him a damned hypocrite to his face and very gladly became his ex-patient.

I will never forget, when I was going through my own unplanned pregnancy, the doctor who volunteered at the crisis pregnancy clinic I went to for prenatal care the first five months. He'd worked all day and was tired, yet was still dedicated to serving pregnant women who were poor, alone, and frightened. And he was ambivalent about abortion and not strongly anti-abortion!

The same politicians who scream and jump up and down about abortion are the same ones who cut funding for pregnant women's care, cut Medicaid payments for prenatal and infant care, children's programs, etc., etc. Fucking goddamn hypocrites, every last one of them.

3. Terrorists
are murders of unborn children inside our society.

Remember, the definition of "terrorism" has to be very broad to get the most amount of fear.

17. Yes, that's very true,
the very words "terrorist" and "terrorism" strike fear in the hearts of most people, and they know that and take advantage of it.

4. Abortion is terrorism,
and people who have abortions are terrorists?

And people who put that shit on their SUV's are freakshows?

5. Didn't Karen Hughes compare abortion to terrorism a while back?
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 10:23 PM by BattyDem
I vaguely remember that. Sorry I can't recall the circumstances ... my mind is a bit mushy these days. ;-)

7. Hey, you're right,
she certainly did and I'd forgotten about that. I remember how pissed off that made a lot of people I know when it happened. Just as Rod Paige, the Education Secretary, compared the NEA to a terrorist organization. My parents and their friends are all retired teachers and NEA members, they did not take kindly to that at all, obviously. Guess "terrorist" is the label they put on anyone and any group that disagrees with them in the slightest; that way, they can more easily turn Americans against such persons/groups.

13. Everything is terrorism nowadays
dissent, teachers unions, Democrats, etc... If you disagree with BushCo you are a "terrorist" in some way.

8. Wow..
"Save the unborn", hmm? Do you think it's safe to say that whoever put that sticker on doesn't support the war either?

I know, I'm not that naive, I just thought I'd ask. *g*

I once saw a sticker that said "I'm a child, not a choice" so I just don't get surprised anymore at anything.

20. The worst I've seen is
"Pro-choice is a lie. The baby doesn't choose to die"

18. No, they don't, and
I'm not sure they ever will. Of course, they probably think the same thing about us as well.

16. Most Probably, Ma'am
It signifies the person agrees with original comments of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, that the attacks in September '01 were divine punishments for transgression by the country, chief among these transgressions being abortion. Thus, the way to end the possibility of further attacks for good and all is to remove the offense to the diety, who will then again cease being wroth with the country, and raise up no further miscreants to harm it....

21. Supposedly....
Abortion is terrorism to the unconscious unborn.

Besides the fact that the z/e/f isn't a person, consider this. Terrorism is where one kills people to persuade others of their politics. People bomb abortion clinics because they want to scare the country into outlawing abortion. That's terrorism.

22. That's an excellent point!
But of course, anything done on the RW side is never terrorism, oh, no. It's the righteous giving Gawd's punishment to the unrighteous and unworthy.

It's always just amazed me how those who bomb abortion clinics and murder their doctors or other staff have the nerve to call themselves "pro-life!"
