I talked to some anti-abortion protesters at the Hardees.   Updated at 3:14 PM

I was going to the Hardees to get me a sausage biscuit. When I was almost there I could see a couple of people out and about on the sidewalk. I assumed they were people and not just moving piles of clothes. People here tend to bundle up when the sun goes down much less when it is this cold. I have seen people at this area before. I've spoken to a couple of them.

This time there were 2 elderly people. There was a man carrying a sign, and a woman with a sign taped on and pushing a baby carriage with a doll in it. I assumed it was a doll anyway. I was surprised that they would be out in this weather, but they've probably gotten all stirred up with the hooha on Faux Noise.

I got out of my car and gave a big wave to them, and asked how they were doing. They mumbled something through the clothing. I didn't think they were the people I had talked to before. I was dressed up too. I had on my John Deere hat with ear flaps hanging down loose. I was wearing an old black sweatshirt with paint splatters on it. Underneath I had a couple of shirts on, and nothing was tucked in. My jeans had holes in them, and so did the old pair of skippies I had pulled on. My socks were showing through. All I needed was a chaw, but I have done that once. It was enough.

I walked over to them and chatted about the weather and whatnot for a minute or two. Most people will chat back, and they were no exception. I leaned down and looked in the baby carriage, and sure enough there was a baby doll all bundled up in it. I decided to make some mischief.

I leaned over, and talked to the doll just like I thought it was real. I did some baby talk, and then I asked the woman if I could hold her. The lady was now giving me a wary eye, but I was being way polite. I widened my eyes and looked as dumb as a stump. The lady kind of nodded her head.

I picked the doll up, and began talking about what a pretty child she was. I put her over my shoulder and asked what her name was. The man was now standing beside the woman, and they both were keeping a close eye on me. They didn't answer so I said she looked like a Rose. Then I said that she was too pretty to be just a Rose so I thought she had to be a 'Lily Rose.'

They said they hadn't named her yet, and I chattered on about how I had an aunt that didn't have a real name until she was 12 years old. My grandparents called her 'Biddy' until they decided that Barbara would do. Of course, she never got away from the name Biddy, but she would smack the hell out of anybody who called her that after she got her a real name. (That is a true story by the way.) I told them that I understood and that something would come to them that sounded right.

They were really keeping a close eye on me now. People tend to do that when they think you're crazy.

I asked them if they helped take care of the babies that were born when the mothers decided to have them. They muttered something. I said that I wanted to donate some money to their organization that helped take care of those babies because a lot of new mothers didn't have a lot. I said that Lily Rose had better clothes than some of my cousins' children. I helped them out when I could.

They were mumbling things at me and trying to answer my questions. They said they belonged to 'The Church of Holy Hell and Ham' or something. I tend to zone out on the names when they start in. They were getting antsy, but I kept carrying on about helping out the girls who had these children. I was sure that their church had set up some kind of fund. They told me no, and I just smiled angelically. I said I was sure that was going to be the next thing on their list because I knew they loved Jesus and Jesus loved little children.

They kept trying to answer me, and I kept carrying on and talking about Lily Rose. I kept on adding in suggestions for helping the mamas.They finally said they had to go. I put the doll back in the buggy and told the lady that Lily Rose looked just like her. Actually, she did because they were both bundled up and had sort of startled expressions on their faces.

I said bye and went on in the Hardees. I'm sure they will remember me. I hope they remember what I said. I doubt if it will make any difference. It pisses me off though that after the babies are born, nobody wants to spend any time or money helping them. I was playing the fool, but I had a point to make.

My Mama always said I could be a big fool, but at least I was home grown and not bought.

Cheesegrits uses the same old warmed over DUmmy argument that you shouldn't try to save a unborn child's life unless you're willing to hand over a suitcase full of cash to the parents with which to care for it. The implication being, of course, that it's okay to kill babies who would cause a financial hardship to the parents.

My response to that is ask the DUmmy if he or she is willing to buy health care for 1 poor person. I mean if the DUmmy really cared about poor people having health care he or she should have no problem opening the old checkbook up.

It's easy to understand the DUmp position that babies should be killed in abortion mills, if they would be a financial burden, or if they would force a cutback in vacations or weed, or if they are just inconvenient. Just kill them. And democrat politicians agree wholeheartedly, and applaud the killing. Though democrat politicians hate the idea of killing muslims, they simply love killing American babies. But what about the young couple that doesn't have the good judgment to kill their baby, and lets it be born. Then, after the baby is, say seven months old, both parents suddenly lose their jobs. They have very meager savings, plus some unemployment benefits - in total far less income than they were counting on to raise the child. They are facing serious financial hardship, may lose their car, and diapers are suddenly a huge expense. So you have to ask the democrat politicians, and the moonbats, why are they so insensitive to the plight of this couple? Why aren't they entitled to the same right to choose life or death for their child now, that they had seven months ago? Why doesn't the democrat party adopt a consistent policy of allowing a woman her right to choose life or death for her child from the moment of conception until age 18?

Now that is a profound statement.  No further explanation necessary.

I actually had a LTE printed in our local paper asking those who want  .gov run health to pay for mine...no takers.

That whole talking to the baby doll thing is very weird.

[terry]

Every pro life person I know (and I know a lot of them) could name both non-profit, religious organizations and state agencies where women can get help with an unplanned pregnancy both before and after the child is born.  Every organization around here that organizes protests and pickets also offers help for pregnant women.

If any encounter actually happened..
I asked them if they helped take care of the babies that were born when the mothers decided to have them.They muttered something.

Means they said 'yes'.
I said that I wanted to donate some money to their organization that helped take care of those babies because a lot of new mothers didn't have a lot.
They were mumbling things at me and trying to answer my questions. They said they belonged to 'The Church of Holy Hell and Ham' or something. I tend to zone out on the names when they start in. .
They kept trying to answer me,
They finally said they had to go.

Means they answered my questions and offered to take my donation, but I was just bluffing and really had no intention of ever helping anyone.  They figured that out and politely got away from the crazy person.

No doubt it took him several days to dream that one up.

The lies get old.

That story was just batshit insane, and I was uncomfortable reading it. 

And why did he spend a paragraph describing what he/she was wearing?  Economy of words is paramount when attempting short story fiction. 

[NHSparky]

Distraction is all it was, an attempt to distract you from the fact his story was complete and utter bullshit.

I will say it again, the whole picking up the doll thing scared me.

[Karin]

Oh my God, if you go over to the thread (not recommended), they're loving the story.  They think it's the most hilarious thing they've ever heard, talking about needing new screens & keyboards & soforth. They want the story to "go viral."   It was a dumb, lame, creepy, weird story is what it was.  

I brought this POS over:

121. What a goober. These people always think "Babies" are being aborted, not fetuses.

127. They think a handful of cells are babies being aborted. With their logic war
 kills men and women who all could have had babies so it's preemptive abortion. Next step is outlawing birth control pills and devices like we do in foreign countries where we give aid then bitch about women wanting to get abortions. Population explosion means nothing to them. They can't even understand the concept of "limited resources" like water or even space. How many mothers have made their children orphans by carrying fetuses detrimental to the mother's health or because they were not allowed or could not afford an abortion. No late term abortions are by choice but by necessity...so other children may still have their mother back rather than be orphaned...or even so the mother may have a child later on after health problems are dealt with.

No, these are low information, misinformed closed minded bigots who are not even aware of their own hypocrisy...hard to feel any sympathy for those who don't even try to find out the truth of their issues. Rest in peach Dr. Tiller...you saved many a mother's lives and prevented so many children from being orphaned. Now there is no one brave enough to meet this health crisis.

Go to hell Bill O'Reilly who demonized this man to death. You're as guilty of pulling the trigger as much as the man who actually did. You never even knew what health needs were being met or how many mothers were being saved. You just demonized Tiller for ratings and capital gain (?) and got him killed. You're a dog who should be in prison for what you've done.
You're time will come...you must answer for what you've done.

God bless you, Bill O'Reilly.

Does anyone remember ketchup boy during the 2004 Ohio campaign: "I need to buy me a huntin' license."

Why would abortion protesters be in front of Hardees? Are those big burgers really little peoples?

Fat liberals eat there? They take foodstamps? They cash gummint checks for free?
Oh I don't know why they'd be there.
