Well I saw one the other day, only there was a citation of some Koran verse at the bottom of the sticker.

I really don't have any point to make. It was just interesting.

2. There's a bumper sticker on a truck in my neighborhood: Life begins at conception
and ends at Planned Parenthood.

One of these days I'm gonna' mess it up--maybe plaster a stick-on over it. Suggestions?

3. Take a positive action
send a donation to Planned Parenthood. If for every 5 bucks they spend on bumper stickers, we send a 5 dollar donation, we win.

15. We had a hater in our neighborhood w/an "Adam & Eve, Not Adam & Steve" BS on her car
Funny when people are compelled to display their ignorance, prejudice and hostility by way of bumper sticker. Her family is huge - they have like a dozen children, and it really struck me as odd when I saw her car sporting that. If I recall it lasted maybe a few weeks before she either removed it, or someone else did for her.

5. I've been having some fun with some of these nutballs every morning.
I yell at them to adopt the mom's and the babies and send them to college. They never like that one, or Send them to college. Or NUTBALLS works too. The only thing they can yell back when holding their cross is "FUCK YOU." :rofl:

7. Like molly Ivans once said on Bill Moyers
"Anti-abortionists aren't PRO LIFE, they're PRO-BIRTH."

So, after birth, you're on your own, buddy, and my right wing job here is done!

12. It's NOT A Child
It's a clump of cells. Just like cancer is a clump of living cells. People who are against abortion must also be morally opposed to cutting out tumors and/or killing cancer cells through chemotherapy. Cancer is a living cell too, you know. Heck, GERMS are living organisms that live inside your body too. Where are the marches to protect THEM?

One particularly good argument I've read regarding abortion is the example of the master cellist. In this story, you're conked on the head and rendered unconscious. When you wake up, you discover that a master cellist has been sewn to your body. Apparently he has some rare disease that renders his organs useless, and he requires the use of the inner workings of another human being in order to survive. His fans don't want him to die because he's the greatest cellist that ever lived, but if you un-sew him from your body, he will die. You obviously don't want to go through life with another human sewn to you, leeching off your organs, and you also find out that because you now have to sustain TWO bodies, you're going to have to eat twice as much, it will be harder to breathe, harder to do just about everything, etc. It's going to be a SIGNIFICANTLY life-altering event. Should you be allowed to remove him from your body, or should his fans be able to go get a law passed that says that you are required to leave him there and sustain him for the rest of your life?

22. I was just reading that breathings motions/movement...
...have been detected as early as 11 weeks, but are more prevalent around 13-14. These motions are supposed to be a vital part of the continuing development of the lungs.

I could never figure out why that one wasn't more popular with the anti-choice crowd. :shrug:
