I yelled at a protester today...
When I stopped for a traffic signal some guy was picketing with an anti-choice sign outside a clinic which happened to have Obama signs in its windows. I yelled at him to mind his own damn business. I don't typically do that sort of thing; but I'm sick and tired of having to defend my right to choose.

Hooray for telling idiots that they're idiots.

15. I don't recall the exact wording, but I ragged on the for being environmentally irresponsible...
And how people like them are destroying the earth, and I ended the note with a sarcastic "The environment thanks you for your conscientous choice in vehicles."
No Bongs.

25. Next time, yell, "Why are anti-choice people the ones you wouldn't want to ****, anyway?"
I believe that was courtesy of George Carlin.

29. I am a very bad person
They were protesting one clinic and I was driving by. I just happened to throw my half-filled diet coke out the window and, my oh my it happened to hit one of the poor little protesters in the head.
I shouldn't litter.

30. Okay, now choose WHAT?! It's your language that bugs me
It's one thing to view abortion as this desperate-situations-call-for-desperate-means thing. But to use a very sterile, casual word like 'choice' doesn't sit too well with me. And before you peg me as a xian fundie or something to that effect, understand that I am not staying awake all night worrying about aborted babies. I think aborted babies are eternal; they have souls. And in the realm of killing, I find it far more reprehensible to kill a toddler or infant than a fetus. Having said that, I do believe that there is too much selfishness in the world. People who procreate and then, when they sow a seed and don't want to reap what they have sown, simply try and get rid of it. And I find that very callous (at least those who seem to feel so gung-ho about it). A choice is whether to get the California roll or fried rice; this is a child. And the whole "it's my body and I can do what I want with my body" argument doesn't hold water, either. You can't decide to kill someone with YOUR BODY because you don't want to deal with them anymore. Just because you are allowed to be a vessel for another's body doesn't give you the right to annihilate it because it's convenient. And I don't want to have that rape or incest argument. I know someone who was the product of rape and is a bright light in the world. Sometimes good things come from evil conditions.

34. **** you.
Mind your own damn business about what women choose to do with their own bodies.
What about what they decide to do to their passengers?

70. I can't stand the sanctimonious, Reader's Digest platitude, faux-Christian ignorati.
So I suppose we're even.
Though we really aren't, because I will win.
And, seriously, what the hell is "whether or not you believe in something, doesn't make it real or not" supposed to mean? Your logic and Reader's Digest-level of English use would be hilarious, if it wasn't so illustrative of the casual disregard the majority of Americans - especially anti-abortionists and other ****all rightwing Christian Zealots (who aren't very Christian) - show for our common language, even while loudly braying in their tinny, nasally, unrefined voices about how "furners" should "larn" that language that the brayers so willingly run through the barbed wire of neglect every time they open their filthy, God-insulting pieholes.
It goes on and on and on...

We in the western world believe in the concept of human rights. At least we lay some claim to that vague notion. Generally everyone can understand things like the right of a living person be secure in themselves and their posessions unless they have done something that violates the right of another. Even then, situations arise where these rights will conflict with each other. This is why we have a civil legal system, to resolve which person's right takes precedence.
The first question that must then be determined is does the fetus have standing, in other words is it human. Fetus is derived from Roman for baby. Further technology allows us to identify it as human through a number of means. We could test it's DNA. We could perform ultrasounds. We could perform X-rays. We could, after a time perform a stimulus response test. Further if it is carried to term and delivered, it is a human. If it was not a human before, then what was it? This would establish the fetus as a legitimate claimant in a civil proceeding against it's mother seeking an abortion, as it is developing inside her body.
The second question is which persons right takes precedent. The mother need only be inconvenienced for nine months. If the fetus is terminated, that's permanant. I pose a more permanent right to life should take precedence to the temporary encroachment on the mother's right to her body.
A further question could be posed. Does the mother benefit from the temporary inconvenience of pregnancy? The answer to this is yes. The mother benefits from a lowered chance of breast cancer.
I hope you lurking DUmmies notice, I did not once mention God. Will you call me a fundie for not supporting abortion?

These idiots reminded me of the protestor who laid down in front of the train going into Hanford back in the 80's. I wonder if he's learned to walk without any friggin legs yet?

Like free speech, protesting is a one way street.
Scratch a liberal, find a fascist.
