I saw people picketing a Planned Parenthood center today...
They weren't holding the usual signs that say "Abortion Kills", etc. They were actually holding up signs that said "Birth Control Kills Babies". One of them had a poster-sized picture of the Virgin Mary. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Next think you know, they'll be holding up signs that say "Masturbation wastes sperm" or something like that. If they had their way, we'd be so overpopulated we wouldn't be able to feed half the country.

2. Not quite, but close
If they had their way, only married couples would have sex, and only when they had making a baby in mind. Otherwise, they should abstain and do something else with their time.

34. and 523 makes you something special?
Postcount is NOT a measure of someone's right to post. Think about it, genius. It will eventually dawn on you.

I saw this blog/site

http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2008/08/breaking_news_n_1.html#more

linked in another message board I frequent.

These people are starting to fall in line, like they always do, for the GOP..

5. this country is so full of fucking idiots
fucking flat-earth lunatics. G-d idiots wouldn't know a scientific proof if it was hanging from their noses. Bastards will probably elect another drooling troglodyte president too.

I am beginning to think this country deserves what it gets. I am all for tolerance and respecting other's opinions, but we give far too much space to arrogant dumbshits who are actually PROUD of being stupid.

27. Well.... Liberals just had to put "Warning Labels" on everything.
The warning labels kept all the stupid people from killing themselves off and to keep them safe, and this is the end result of protecting people from their own stupidity.

If a few of them would have went ahead and stuck their heads under the lawn mower, put the bag over their heads, etc. etc. instead of seeing the warning label, then they wouldn't be a problem now.

32. love it
we should work up a bunch of put-downs along these lines

I recall a favorite line of my older sister when we were teenagers: "oh, go play in the traffic"

I'm thinking "why don't you just go run with scissors" might be good

There is also a general comment "Where is Darwin when we need him?"

6. Hmm...
Was it Anita Bryant way back in the 70's who said masturbation was mass murder? Or some other idiot? I read about as much of her wiki-bio as I could before I almost puked. Didn't see it there.

Tell you the truth, the article I'm thinking about was in Hustler, so maybe some or all of it was satire. I would've been around 13 yrs old...so yeah, critical thinking was not on my mind at the time.

Never mind...

7. Ask them if they're opposed to planning in general, or only in this one area ...
don't wait around for an answer, it will take them awhile to figure it out.

31. Exactly.
They're hypocrites to the nth degree; if they really cared about human life, they'd be on the forefront of fighting for single-payer healthcare.

17. Taking JPII teachings to an extreme
Keeping every sperm and egg scared.

You do not have to go far online to run into these types. It goes along with the evil "sin" of masturbation and using birth control way back with the disaster that was Humane Vite 40yrs ago.

15. Roe vs. Wade is the only obstacle keeping them from attacking birth control
methods with full force (IUD,Diaphragms,Condoms,the pill, etc). Since Roe vs Wade is unlikely to be overturned, they have started to lump abortion in with conventional birth control methods -which will backfire on them.

19. Every sperm is sacred...
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed

21. Someone needs to picket these people.
Carrying signs with slogans that link their hate to that hate played out and showing pictures of the consequences of that hate.

25. No need to bring the animals into this...
...I'd just like to see how they would like some of their tactics used against them?

A gay pride parade through their church parking lot during services? Block their access to a clinic when they go for flu shots. Make them look at signs of evolution and how it will cure them! (LOL)

I don't know, someone can come up with better ideas than I. I just think it has to be done, these people are operating with impunity.

28. That tactic worked very well for Michael Moore when he loaded..
A bunch of gay people on a bus to go pay the Phelps Family a visit during one of their pathetic picket protests. Oh the look on the Phelp's faces and their sudden departure!

I've always said that they should be countered with the end result and consequences of self abortions.

37. How many DUers live in their area...
...who would be willing to put on a parade in such short notice?

Oh, but, isn't their "church" just their house?

When it caught fire a few weeks ago, there was a picture and it looked like a house.
