Funny combination of bumper stickers that I saw yesterday.

[dhinojosa]

It was a truck:

One said "Abortion stops a beating heart"
The other one said, "Fish tremble at the sound of my name"

I was wondering if the guy knew that when you go fishing, kill a fish, and cook a fish you are also stopping a beating heart?

I think there should be a bumper sticker saying "Fishing stops a beating heart".

:rofl:

1. Common Sense.

Stops Freepers Cold:freak:

2. I'll bet he eats beef and it doesn't bother him that cows have hearts too

and they are mammals..just like us!!!

3. This retired social worker says,

"Child abuse stops a beating heart, too" - as in when someone carries a pregnancy to term, not wanting to, gives birth, and winds up with a child they do not want. I wish I could say that each such parent may prior arrangements to reliquish parental rights, placing the baby up for adoption, but that is too often NOT the case.

4. They quit caring after birth...

How many of these self-righteous pro-lifers do you see lined up to adopt these unwanted children??

They are such hypocrites but don't see it that way.

6. That's true.

I posted this story once before, but it's been awhile, so I hope it's okay to do so again.

I was in college during the 10th anniversary of Roe v Wade. I went to a Jesuit school, which I totallly loved, because the Jesuits put a high value on education. Anyway, that's beside the point. The editor of the school newspaper (a guy) wrote an editorial on the anniversary of R v W. I don't remember the whole thing, but it was about the "value" of life. I do, however, remember the last line: "After all, after 9 months, it's over." (He was talking about adopting unwanted children out, instead of getting an abortion.)

I blew a gasket when I read that, and fired off a letter to this effect:

"It is not "over" after 9 months. Yes, the direct responsibility for the child is over if a woman chooses to give her child up for adoption, but the experience will be with her for life. You are obviously not a parent, nor has a woman you know ever given up a child for adoption, or you would realize the error of your words. Why don't people with your views follow them up with action? Why don't you promote prenatal care for poor women and their unborn? Why don't you help provide clothing, food, and medical services for them, regardless of whether they will keep their child or not? It is NOT over after 9 months, and I would like to see more than empty rhetoric about this issue."

Well, lo and behold, after my letter appeared in the school paper (and yes, they did print it), there suddenly sprung up a movement on the campus to provide food, clothing, resources, etc. for pregnant women who needed the help.

Maybe I should write another letter, this time to the "pro-life" people of today.

9. I think you should write another letter...

your college letter was spot on, and lists everything that pisses me off about these people. Health care for the baby and prenatal care for the mother? Sure, if you don't use government money...why should "they" have to pay for it?

They don't give a shit about anyone but their self-centered self and ass backwards ideals.

[SeattleGirl]

10. I think I will!

It pisses me off too. If someone does not agree with abortion, fine, but don't try to make everyone agree with that point of view. And, if someone really is against abortion, then make it better for pregnant women.

There is a place a few miles away from Seattle, that is, for lack of a better term, a "home for unwed mothers". I have given financial support to this place for the past 5-6 years, because of what they do. It is run by Christians (in the true sense of the word) for whom abortion is not an option, and they help young, unwed women for whom abortion is also not an option, and whose families have turned away from them, and the father's have run out on them.

They provide a safe, clean place for these young women to stay. They provide good prenatal care, counseling, and they are non-judgemental about the situation these young women are in. They provide parenting classes for the women who choose to keep their babies, and arrangements for adoptions for the women who don't feel they are ready to be parents.

I have talked to several of these young women, and they all have very positive things to say about this place. The people who run it don't go out on the streets and kidnap these young woman, nor do they shake their fingers at them, and say "Naughty, naughty, naughty!" They seem to be very caring, loving, and supportive of the young women who stay there (women for whom, for various reasons, abortion is really not a choice for them), and the women I have spoken to have been so grateful for this place.

While I am passionately against the end of legalized, safe access to abortion, I am just as passionately for support for women who make other choices. Isn't that what being "pro choice" is really all about?

18. Exactly (n/t)!

5. That kind of guy wears a T-shirt, "My wife ran off with my best friend ...

... and I miss him."

Ignorance has no limits.

7. I want a bumper sticker that says

"My bumper sticker can beat up your bumper sticker."

[phusion]

8. Or

how 'bout "My bumper sticker gives me moral superiority."

:hi:

17. My ribbon is better than your ribbon

"I support the troops more than you, infinity plus one!"

[FVZA_Colonel]

11. What about

"Anything worth believing in can't fit on a bumpersticker"?

[CornField]

12. How about this one: "I support the rights of unborn women"

To hell with those walking around outside the womb women. *sigh*

[LizMoonstar]

16. oh man. our local 'pro-life' chick does that.

she's always shouting about how anti-abortion is the true feminist position, because it supports unborn women's rights. i think she truly thinks that the only women who get abortions are forced into it, and she's protecting them, or something equally crap.


i want to hit her in the face. with a fetus.

13. The one that I saw the other day....

The road to hell is paved with republicans.

[ladylibertee]

14. That's okay.They can have their bumber stickers.I have mine too

One says, ( My Life,My Choice)and the other says(B U ll S H it...and under the bottom it says. "Don't blame me.I did'nt vote for President Bush") I get so many reactions,good and bad,I love it.

[hellbound-liberal]

15. Here's one combination that I use:

"America: One Nation Under Fraud" along with "Bush Lied, Thousands Died" and "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" That combination got me flipped off the other day by some moran in a pick-up with Bush-Cheney stickers. Don't forget, www.northernsun.com has a wide variety of bumper stickers and inexpensive magnetic backing so you can change them whenever you like. I just got their new catalog and love one of the new shirts they have. On the front it says "I love my country" and on the back it has a picture of the world and the words "But I think we should start seeing other people"
