How come we don't protest the anti choicers?
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 11:42 PM by DanCa
I have been really wondering this for a long time. I confronted a righty priest friday and I am flying high from telling him off. So I was wondering how come naral, air america, or even DU, gathers around outside a right wing church or arch diocese and protest the policy makers of the church. I am not talking about the people in the pews btw. I just think if the right can form handlinks to keep us out of church, why cant the left form hand links to keep them out of our government?

but I think that problem would be that they are so fanatical about their beliefs that it would only turn into a shouting match of hurled expletives such as "baby killers" and "spawns of demons". I marched numerous years ago (pre 1989) in DC for a Pro-Choice rally and there were about 600,000 men, women and children (with "I was a choice" sign - loved it!) and there was a pathetic group of, at that time, pro-lifers, maybe about 200, in a small area with about 3 dozen crosses planted into the ground. I found that protest to be so lacking in any intellectual thought that it wasn't even worth commenting on. I think that sums up the difference between the two groups.

3. I saw a bumper sticker, read: Abortion? Pick on someone your own size.
So badly wanted to yell out. Pro-life? Try getting one.
