Pro-Life protestors outside a clinic. |
|
Every election, they come out and stand out in front of a clinic that performs abortions. You never see them unless its election time. I almost wonder half the time if these are people who are paid to stand out there and hold up signs? Anyway, it really pisses me off.. just because there's an election, women who have made the choice to proceed with an abortion will have to go thru the loonies.... They won't be there after Nov. 4th.
ANYway.. I really want to go and stand out there quietly with a sign...
Protect ALL Life:
END WAR! END GENOCIDE! END POVERTY!
ONLY then COULD Standing HERE Possibly make SENSE!!!
Do you think this would be effective at all.. It just pisses me off so much to see them standing there. I don't think anyone is PRO-Abortion.. people are faced with hard choices.. no woman I've ever known says, "Yippee, I'm going to have an abortion". Like its a carnival ride or something. AND the only time they are out there is during election time.
I just don't want to make it worse for someone. I don't want it to become something that grows from the handful of idiots that currently show up... to a scene where cops are showing up and it becomes vitriolic.. because that would only hurt the clinic and the women who use the clinic even more...(knowing this area, there are other clinics, and I'm assuming that some may just choose to go elsewhere during this last couple of weeks.. I do flick them off everytime I drive by). What do you all think?

1. You'll be seeing them plenty after Obama is sworn in. Domestic terrorism will return. |
|
After "their kind of President" is gone, the McVeighs (registered GOP, NRA member) will make a Big comeback.

2. But what do you think about standing out there and doing this.. |
|
and what about the sign.. Do you think that is effective, or do you have a better suggestion that pops out... I really want to stand up for something I'm tired of seeing still in contention.. Over 50% of this country thinks it is ok to provide abortions by Dr.s in safe environment... Yet, its the nut jobs that make this still seem like a hotly contested issue every time voting occurs... The ruling was made before I was even born. I've been grateful that as a woman, if the need arose, that I would be able to receive a safe medical procedure.. Why should that be taken away? It will NOT end abortions, it would only increase the deaths of women and the number of infants found wrapped in trash bags and left in dumpsters.

14. I love this suggestion |

It does a great job of asking them to take a fresh new look at who they are and what they represent. :patriot:

4. Not pro-life. They don't care if women die of back-alley abortions. |

Not sure if the coat hanger would help--they don't care if women die.

10. Maybe I should make another sign and stick it in the ground with an arrow |
|
Saying: They support increased Welfare benefits, They support Universal Healthcare, They support Universal DayCare 24hr/ 7days a week, They support funding for College Education: They are voting for Barack Obama!!!!

12. Really want to piss them off? |
|
Stand out there with a sign that reads
"You can't be both Anti-Choice and American!"
That should get you a response or two.

13. Go stand next to them with a huge Obama sign......... |
|
it will drive them over the edge to be associated with him.
When they walk away from you, calmly follow them.
If they push you, call the police.
Best to have someone go with you with a video camera.
