I saw religious nuts praying in front of a women's clinic yesterday. Pissed me off! |

In downtown Fargo, They were all college-age folks wearing orange shirts with some wording on them but I was too far away to read it. I surprised my friend and I maintained our cool and didn't blow our tops at the bozos.

free speech works both ways, as fucking stupid as some seem to be.
Good that you didn't do anything stupid, and just let them be.
We can't sink to their worst levels - but we can keep working to keep it safe and legal, in the right way.........................

conversation with God and come here and make other of God's children uncomfortable with your picketing why they go into the office for maybe a simple pap smear. They guy looked at me and said no no conversation personally with God that morning. Then I said since you know your Bible God says do not judge lest you be judged. Do you pretend to speak for God and he said no.....then I said then take the splinter out of your eye before you try to extract it out of anothers. You have no right to infringe your beliefs on anyone else and God will judge you for it.
I drove by again 5 minutes later and they had gone....idiots! Had to speak their language because they are too brainwashed to know anything else.

4. I've been tempted to join them with a sign that says, "Prosecute mothers who murder." |
|
It might not be understood by women seeking services there, but if there is a crowd outside then they are going to be verbally abused anyway.
Forcing anti-abortion people to admit that they aren't willing to prosecute women for murder is their achilles heel.

you are correct, they won't go that far. At least not yet. I am afraid that someone will evetually work towards that end, though.

38. They won't go that far |

because they all know, deep in their heart, that they or a loved one may one day need abortion services.
Their abortions will be moral, though, of course.

I'd rather have the guy knocking the real women haters off the sidewalk (heavens to Besty - those moments of being off-balance are just so comparable to preventing women from getting healthcare) on my side than you. At least he'll make a path for me to get into the damn door.

Why should I assume that I have the right to visit my doctor in peace - why, that's just crazy feminist talk! Let the nutbags harass me - just the way the Framers wanted it to be.
Thanks for proving to me that my decision to leave DU was the right one. Don't think I'll be coming back to engage in conversation.

37. If you can't debate any better than that then you need to leave. |

How would people praying across the street disrupt the peace of your doctors visit? Do you want to ban all protest based on the argument that they might disrupt someone's peace? How about banning all speech on the grounds it may disrupt someone's peace? What they were engaged in wasn't harassment and was legal? When it became harassment it would have been illegal and they could have been arrested. Regardless you won't respond, very courageous of you.

20. It gives a definite new "flavor" to this place |
|
I am starting to understand an important significance to the unrec feature. It is showing that DU is really no longer "that progressive" or "that liberal" and definitely is showing the centrist/right centrist appeal here. It will become a very important diagnostic of the political leanings here in the future.

I saw a you tube last week of a couple of drag queens pull up to the Phelps crowd with a very loud car radio and get out. Quite entertaining. The poster who suggested the music has the right idea.

41. i think it would be great to do a sarcastic protest alongside them |
|
with people who hold up placards that say
"Put an End to Pre-Natal Care"
"Stop providing well visits!"
"Trust in God as your Gynecologist!"
Those clinics offer way more than abortion and I think running a protest to mix with theirs that points out how shutting down the clinic ends way more services would be a hoot!
