Someone please tell me why I shouldn't chew out these anti-choicers?
OK...driving to work today and I pass this medical center, one which I know does DNC's (not the Democratic National Committee, but a procedure done after a miscarriage to clean up and make the womb more receptive for the next time.) Anyway, there are two freepers out with their anti-abortion signs, being, well, dumbasses.

I wanted to park the car, and chew out these losers - but a lack of time made me consider otherwsise.

Someone please tell me why this was a good idea?

1. Voice your concerns to a brick wall instead
It will have a greater capacity to understand than the freepers will.

4. Oh I know I can't convince them
I just want to add some fear to their already blackened hearts...

6. Start asking them if they are familiar with the teachings of Satan
And you'd like for them to meet you on rural highway 87 tonight at midnight exactly, so that they may learn the teachings of your cruel master Satan himself.

7. You won't
They are numerous. They see your assault as your failing. They will feel empowered by your reaction. Its just a bad idea.

They need attention. If they get none they will whither and die.

12. That's what they said about white supremacists
and the didn't whither, and they certainly didn't die. They've actually exploded in membership, especially among the urban white poor.


You just don't hear alot about it much because Scott Peterson is a better headline... :eyes:

3. As long as they're just carrying signs and being dumbasses, that's fine.
Why they start harrassing women who are there for legitimate, legal reasons then they cross the line.

5. Do not poke the protestors
The clinics are very practiced in dealing with them. In fact your intereference may well trigger problems. It is dangerous enough for them without insensed fundies who may go off. You may inadvertantly give them grounds to sue on as well.

If you really want to help then find and join support groups. Offer your time to escort people or help defend in an organized fashion.

8. I'd have no problems if you did
I had to get a D&C done during a miscarriage at 12 weeks because I was hemorraging. I suppose it would have been Jesus's will to have me bleed to death. :eyes: The last thing I would have needed during those painful moments is for some idiot to be yelling "baby killer" at me.

Simple minded freeper assholes!

11. I know...my wife had a D&C done at 5 weeks
and when we had Nate we had no problems. God knows what would have happened if we didn't do the D&C (not that it was ever an option.)

So I guess that makes us baby killers too?
