What's your favorite anti-abortion bumper sticker?

[Deja Q]

The above is similar to the one I saw reading "She's a child, not a choice." with a picture of a little girl on it.

So I innocently whipped this up, out of lack of time:

[deebo550]

1. I saw one once and liked it so much I bought it.

It says: Guns don't kill people, Radical pro-lifers kill people.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. why did you buy it?

[deebo550]

32. Uhm, because it is true?

:shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

38. how is that true?

[Kire]

40. radical pro-lifers do kill people

not like radical pro-choicers

[Not_Giving_Up]

2. Keep your laws off my body

Pretty much sums it up.

[mcctatas]

8. I'm a Catholic...in theory anyway, but since I pretty much disagree with

all thing Catholic, not a very good one...Anyway, a really liberal, cool friend of mine used to be a nun, and she has a pin that says "keep your rosaries off my ovaries", I've always loved that one:rofl:

[JVS]

3. Honk if you weren't aborted!

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. I shouldn't laugh

but I am. :rofl:

[ofrfxsk]

6. Hilarious isn't it?

I saw that bumper sticker 5 times today just driving to Walgreen's. I'll occasionally honk and they look startled. These are the same dimwits with "Honk if you love Jesus" everywhere on their cars. If you honk, you can almost hear the cocking of their guns over the traffic noise.

[ofrfxsk]

4. LMAO How do I get this on a bumper sticker?

[BlueIris]

7. If by "favorite," you mean "most vile":

"Real feminists don't kill babies."

That one is by far the most offensive I've ever encountered. It actually made the driver of the vehicle I was riding in when I saw it--who was a Georgian Southern Baptist conservative Democrat who didn't love the subject of choice so much, mind you--ask if maybe we should cut the anti-choice driver off at the earliest opportunity.

[Left Is Write]

24. I find that incredibly vile also.

I can't even articulate all the reasons, but REAL feminists don't want to take control of other women's choices. Real feminists don't want to limit other women.

[BlueIris]

41. This got me thinking about an incident in my life last year...

when a scary, militant anti-choicer crashed a free public lecture being given by one of the lit professors from the university at which I did my undergraduate work. It's unusual for that kind of lecture to happen in my city; and we were very lucky to have that particular scholar speak at our library. This crazed person actually posited that the European feminists of the late 18th, early 19th century had some special aversion to abortion and objected to it on feminist grounds, and actually started asking the prof if she "accepted" the alleged values of these feminists (the lecture had been about Frankenstein, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and travel literature--not so much about feminism or Shelley's views on it). The anti-choice person kept calling the feminism embraced by Shelley and others "nature-based" feminism, (what?) which this person considered the only "true" feminism, as opposed to the second wave of feminism in America, which this person claimed was only based in securing reproductive freedom for women (the anti-choicer kept calling this "kind" of feminist philosophy "abortion-based feminism"--GOD). That incident led me to wonder if there isn't an entire movement out there trying to pervert feminist perspectives and honestly convince women that "true" feminists were "originally" opposed to abortion...back in the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. How very Rovian. And how vile. I am just so repulsed to imagine that there could be people trying to give their anti-choice opinions and perspectives an intellectual justification that is based in the history of philosophy, literature and scholarship.

9. "Abortion Stops A Beating Heart"

Um...yeah. You see, that's the <i>point</i>. If it didn't, we'd have to find other methods.

"Abortion: A child <i>can</i> live without it!"

Once again, obviously so. All children alive were not aborted. Obviously no pro-choice people think "Well, what's the problem? I'm sure nearly everyone was aborted!"

10. Welcome to DU!

Just a quick reminder that HTML codes like the < sign and the > sign don't work. You need to substitute the brackets instead. Good luck in the lounge!

[BlueIris]

11. Yeah...welcome.

You might be happier in...General Discussion. Just a guess.

[Deja Q]

14. Do you think that I think that children get delivered by the local stork?!

Forgive me. I just don't understand the surprisingly polite diatribe.

[Pool Hall Ace]

26. I think pattim is just answering your question. I don't

think it's a diatribe. I could be wrong, though.

I can't get your image in the OP to show up. Is Photobucket having problems?

[Maat]

35. That one is the most vile.

This retired social worker always immediately thinks, "Well, child abuse stops a beating heart, Moron, when the parents wind up abandoning the child - or worse!"

Had at least two infants found in a trashcan (fortunately, in time to save them). They had been dumped there shortly after birth - one in the trashcan in the women's room of a local hospital.

[BlueIris]

44. A lot of other things stop beating hearts, too, figuratively and literally

Such as the agony of living as a woman in a society that has no respect for your right to control your own medical decisions without being brutalized, neglected or shamed, that considers the "life" of a blastocyst more important than yours, or the life of the child you were forced or coerced into having more important than your own health and well-being. The situation of a person, particularly a very young woman, forced to go through with a pregnancy her body isn't medically stable enough to support also stops a beating heart. But, of course, we must always think of the babies in the trashcans first, not the lives of the living women who produced them. Sick, fucked up shit, man. I really hope those contributing to this thread are taking ACTION to oppose the infringements to choice they claim to care so passionately about.

[Maat]

45. Amen.

I'm on your side.

I care about women in this culture (I am one, actually) - someone who came of age in the 70's and didn't think I would have to be fighting for reproductive rights like this AGAIN.

And I care about the drastic tragedies that happen when we start rolling back those rights.

I started contributing monthly to NARAL Pro-Choice America, because this 47-year-old ma has found them to be a very effective lobbying/educational group, that keeps the issue on the forefront.

[flvegan]

36. So does a hamburger.

Send that sentiment to a pro-lifer today. See what they say.

BTW, NOT comparing people to animals, just action to action.

flame awayyyyyyyyyyyy....

[XemaSab]

47. "A hamburger stops 243 beating hearts"

(or whatever the number is for number of cows ground up in each burger).

[mykpart]

12. There used to be one that said

something like, "The unborn have no choice." And they're anti-choice, not anti-abortion or pro-life.

[BlueIris]

13. I also hate the ridiculous one that reads,

"If it's not a baby, you're not pregnant!" Because...vile. One of the ones that is basically only their to pass judgment on women. Sick bastards.

[NewJeffCT]

15. Does anybody see those "Covenant Transport" long haul trucks?

The big 18 wheelers - every one I see has it painted on the back (not a bumper sticker) that says "It is a child, not a choice"

Covenant is a huge trucking company, and I have yet to see one of their trucks without that on the back.

[qnr]

33. I HATE those! n/t

[PittPoliSci]

34. i did the other day actually.

I really need to make stickers that just say "TELL IT TO THE SUPREME COURT! AHAHAHHAHA!" on them to slap on vehicles like that.

[PDittie]

16. The only Bush I Trust

is my own.

[Sabriel]

17. "Children, don't let your parents kill other children."

I shit you not. I wanted to rearend her, rip off the bumper, and drive away with it.

[BlueIris]

18. Ew.

EW.

EW.

EW!

EW!!!!!!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

19. When I lived in New Orleans...

I used to see one that said, "Yo momma was ProLife, darlin'."

[Left Is Write]

25. Oh, I hate that.

No, my mother is pro-choice.

Do they really think only anti-choice women give birth?

[tigereye]

20. well

most of em make me pretty mad.

Here's my fave pro-choice one:

"Don't Like Abortion? Don't have one."

[neuvocat]

21. Avoid abortion: get a vasectomy.

[BlueIris]

27. Excellent. I want that one. Hello, new favorite poster.

I've been currently searching for one that says simply, "GET A VASECTOMY," but the one you list is more like the sentiment I'm trying to express.

[MountainLaurel]

37. There's a variation that reads

"Against abortion? Get a vasectomy!" Perhaps you could but that one and just cut the first part off.

[BlueIris]

43. Oh, good thought.

I've actually been trying to get my friend, who makes a lot of nicely done stickers, to make me one that reads: "Stop Expecting Me to Do All the Work: Get A Vasectomy." But your suggestion could suffice for the meantime (my friend's online store is really backed up).

[grannylib]

22. I keep wanting to have a bunch of wire hangers delivered to the pro-birth

booth at the state fair...wonder if they would get it...

[qnr]

23. Well, I've seen the poll, and this post, and I *still* haven't seen the

bumper sticker :)

[really annoyed]

28. Here's two good ones....

Here is a pro-choice one:



And I saw this one mentioned here:

[NYdemocrat089]

30. God is Pro-Life

Second edit...sorry...I can't read or type tonight. :P

Anyways...it wasn't the sticker that bugged me...it was the fact that it was on one of the biggest SUVs I've ever seen.

[deadparrot]

31. The one that gets me is...

"What if Mary had had an abortion?"

I mean, REALLY, I consider myself a borderline Christian, but do you really want to bring up all the godawful historical events that WOULDN'T have happened if Jesus hadn't shown up?

[CornField]

42. Wonder if they'd feel the same about Hitler?

The whole "there'd be no Christmas" business really sticks in my throat. Exactly why was that date chosen as baby Jesus' birthday? (We know - from the Bible, I might add - that he wasn't born in December.)

[El Fuego]

46. "Christmas" was originally a pagan celebration

of the winter solstice, hence the decorated evergreen tree which has nothing whatsoever to do with the bible.

One of the early popes decided to appropriate the pagan celebrations and arbitrality made Jesus's birthday occur during the winter solstice festivities. This was to try to convert the pagans, which I guess eventually worked.

Christmas trees, mistletoe, yule logs, gift giving, feasting, etc. -- all PAGAN stuff!!!!

[CornField]

51. Yup

That's exactly what this born-again pagan was referring to. LOL!

[BlueIris]

39. Runner-up for most vile in my book: "Rights for Unborn Women."

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!

[Richardo]

48. "If you can read this, thank the doctor who didn't abort you."

Actual sticker in Texas. :eyes:

That was a few months ago, so now I'm up to 'G' of all the ob-gyns practicing in Pensylvania for the nine-months prior to November 1956. It's hard work!

[BlueIris]

49. Yes, because, damn those evil doctors!!!!

Who do so much to provide women with services necessary to end preganancy. All 10 percent of the gynecologists in America who are trained to perform surgical abortions, many of whom elect not to become abortion providers after residency. FUCKING IGNORANT ASSHOLE MISOGYNIST ANTICHOICE PSYCHOS.

Ahem. I'm actually taking medication to deal with my dislike for these diseased jerks. It's not really helping today.

[Devra]

50. bumper sticker

I saw one that said abortion is permenant. well isn't that the point?
