The Abortion Truck
Parked out front of a gas station in the West Suburbs of Chicago this afternoon (Rte 59/Naperville for those in the area). I'm not a violent person, but if I had a can of paint or a paint gun...

As a strong supporter of woman's rights, and a mother who lost one of her twins at a little over 23 wks following birth - I cannot tell you the rage that wells up in me whenever I see that f*ing truck. It's been a couple years since I saw it last, but with my son in the car today - I had to see it again. It took everything within me not to pull in the parking lot and let the guy have it.

In life, death and choice - can we not have some sacred privacy - that goes for Phelps and his gang as well? **&#$%@!!*4e%*

7. Just so you know - It was worse than that.
This was clearly a homemade version. Far, far worse than at least the first page of the googled images. Above the back panel, a good 9-10 feet up were the words, "The 10 Commandments". LIEberman immediately popped in to my head.

5. Ever see a gallbladder full of gallstones?
Blowing up an inch long fetus and plastering it on the side of a truck is disinformation of the worst kind.

Bottom line? Antiabortion laws kill women along with the fetuses.

9. ,,
What made it worse, some of them weren't 1" long. They were clearly post 20wk (from my own experience, I can recognize that), and it's very doubtful they were aborted - but still. It was just used as shock value, and nothing more.

And you're right, antiabortion laws kill - but they can also cause serious psychological damage to a woman. I could never in a million years fathom carrying a child to term that I knew would die at birth (ie. anencephaly, etc). How completely traumatic that would be.
