I work in downtown DC, and it was hard to get through the streets at lunchtime for the crowds. Most of them (certainly not all) were teens, it appeared, with in-your-face signs like "Abortion is Murder" and pictures of aborted fetuses. Many carried anti-Obama signs, as well. The kids were there as if on a field trip, but I wonder at what they could possibly be thinking carrying such signs. The adults were worse, of course. One tried to talk to me, but I quickly and politely disabused her of the notion that I had any desire to impose my decisions on women of child bearing age.

It's an annual event, and so I have seen it before, but I don't recall so many militantly ugly signs being displayed. Over the top, in your face, and I guarantee they changed no minds with such tactics.

Still, it was deflating to see young people with such ugly signs, after we have seen so many so joyous in the past year.

17. My 30 year old son was born when I was 21   Updated at 11:41 AM
   
I made the appointment, sat in the waiting room, laid down on the table, and when the doctor came in, I told him I had changed my mind and I was having the baby. He got really pissed! It freaked me out.

The kid is a chemical engineer now, and as precious as any human I've ever known.

To this day I hate abortion. I really hate the idea. But what I hate even more is my government telling me and other women what we can or cannot do with our bodies and our lives.

It was my choice, and I'm so glad I had the choice.

When I was sixteen, my best friend was raped by her uncle. She had an abortion, and we all knew it was the right thing to do. She thought about putting the baby up for adoption, but the thought of carrying her uncle's child all those months with her heart filled with hatred was just too much. She decided a baby should not be grown in eutero with a mother having all those horrific feelings going on. It was the right decision for her.

Every pregnancy has a story, and each one is unique. To put a broad-brush law into effect outlawing abortion is just wrong. No one law can cover all the various stories and reasons a woman would choose to do this very difficult thing. And if a woman is so callous that she is using abortion as birth control, I have to question whether this woman would be a good parent.

I'm happy your son is alive and successful.    How's your best friend's child doing?

I don't believe the rape story.

If it were true, how is the rape the child's fault? Why kill the child?

Yet most of them have no problem with a law outlawing owning any type of firearm which btw IS mentioned in the Constitution.

My sister sent me these photos today. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on DU, or received any press.

Imagine that?  Like free speech protesting is a one way street too.

Tolerance to a liberal is having other people listen to you, not listening to other people.

What, you mean the average good little german doesn't want to be confronted with the handiwork of his belief. 

DUmmies (Democrats in general) are, on the balance, an inconvenience and cost on society.  According to their philosophy, they should be killed.  Further, according to their own philosophy, they should be bathed in acid, then sprayed with salt, then hacked to pieces by large manacles.

The see a child not yet born, and it nothing more than an untermensch to them.

Replace the words "Pro life" with "anti Bush", and the word "abortion" with "Bush", and this could have been a report on any one of hundreds of protests over the last 8 years.
