Pro Lifers get egged...

Postby TopHatTapes » Jun 5th, 2012, 2:04 pm

...as they should. Its a choice, stop trying to force feed the public your opinion. I'm surprised this is the first time they've been egged. Did I mention abortions are free in Canada?

Anyway, watch this video

Agree. No need for such graphic pictures. I dont mind the guys outside the hospital, they are offering help and guidance. Controversial topic. Everyone has their own opinion and that is fine but I saw these people shortly after I had had a miscarriage and it made me feel physically sick. I cannot imagine the decision these women have to go through to decide on a termination it must be hell without these images emblazoned on their brain.. they are more likely to go and kill themselves as well.

I'm glad I never saw them, I would have an extremely hard time biting my tongue.
You are either pro-choice or you aren't. No amount of disturbing images or misrepresented facts is going to change that. It enrages me that they use scare tactics and gore to support their cause. I can't help but find their message and methods so hateful. Abortion is not evil, and neither are the women who have them. Like Roz said, it is not a decision any woman takes lightly.
Stop trying to bring women and science back to the dark ages!

Wow it sounds like its your race or skin color. Sorry to say, but people change their minds ALL THE TIME on this one. You're not born that way. I'm not stating my opinion on this subject but I don't think the same argument gays use can be had on this one.

Pro-lifer's have always been rude and disrespectful to pro-choice people.
It's their way or no way.
Good thing abortion is legal in this country so women can get the services they need.

What's a 'Your not born that way' anyhow? I've never heard of one. Like Your house and Your car, right? g-r-a-m-m-a-r

Kidding aside, I'm not sure how this has ANYTHING to do with any kind of 'arguments gays use' or 'race or skin colour'. And so what if a person's opinions may change, you're either pro-choice or you're not. If you do or don't like abortions, you have a choice.

Anti-abortionsits, like all people who concern themselves with the acts of others viewed through their own personal moral scope, tend to be fanatics. Most of us simply don't care? Others, predisposed to fanatacism may join your protest, but they were merely sheep in waiting. You won't change anyone's mind.
Don't like abortions? Don't have one. You won't find pro-choicers standing outside maternity trying to convince people not to have a baby. We don't care. Just like all other religious convictions (don't dare deny it), they want everyone to walk in lockstep and do it their way. Similarly, you won't find an atheist going door to door trying to convince you there's no god... Save that failed attempt at bus ads.

My point is, to each their own... Or more accurately, mind your own f***ing business.

From what I've seen, those in favour of abortion are just as rude and disrespectful. They also make it known it is their way or no way.

Pro-lifers are narrowminded and don't stop to think about the variables at all. I think everyone in the world agrees women who use abortion as a form of birth control are in the wrong and that it's a terrible thing and should not be allowed. That said, what about women who have been raped? Especially if it's through incest and especially if she's young. In some cases very young. Do pro-lifers stop and think about how traumatic it would be for a women who's already been raped to now have to carry through and have the rapists child? Especially if the rapist was a family member? Do they consider that? Absolutely not. They are pro0life not matter what the circumstance. They argue the rights of the baby, well what about the rights of the mother? The rights of a woman to not want to carry the child of a man who raped her. They will then argue that it's not the babies fault. Well it also wasn't the woman's fault she was raped. Where are her rights? Gone because she is now pregnant? I don't think so.

I'm not rude or disrespectful to pro-lifer's.
Unlike pro-lifer's I don't try and ram my opinion down people's throats.
And I don't use disgusting pictures to get my point across.
And I do support anyone who feels that abortion is not right for themselves.
I support CHOICE.
