Obama supports Gay Marriage and Abortion...Do You?

This was the message I saw plastered across a billboard as I headed to work this morning.

First thing that popped into my head was "Hell yes!"

Although it's highly misleading to say that Obama "supports" abortion - he supports a woman's RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

I've had openly gay friends since tenth grade. One of my early girlfriends finally realized she was gay and is quite happy now. I've never had a problem with the concept of gays getting married and only had one gay person who bothered me. He had a crush on me (waiter at Ruby Tuesday's) and gave what my wife described as "cat eyes" to her when we went there for dinner. He was just creepy, and not because he was gay - just creepy. Other than that, I can't think of a case where I was disturbed because someone was gay.

As for abortion, if the Republicans care so much about zygotes, why do they abandon them after they are born? A zygote is a person, but a newborn is a Welfare cheat. It's difficult to believe that they're that fucking stupid that they can't make the connection, but apparently they are.

And Obama said it as clearly as it can be said - "RAPE IS RAPE!"

I see it everyday going home. The way it's worded it almost says Gay Abortions if you read it too quickly. Since I'm driving I never have time to actually read the stupid sign.

I thought it was an odd sign to post in a city that is like 75% democrat
