Abortion Tour?

[RUgreek]

Kids always belong in protests, it helps educate them about issues they have a say in...

I am currently interning at a pregnancy care center that is Christ-centered. It is a wonderful ministry, and while I still consider myself pro-choice, I feel that the work that we are doing in this center is absolutely needed and helps so many women facing crisis pregnancies. It deeply saddens me that people like this and organizations with a complete lack of professionalism taint everything associated with the pro-life movement.

Planned Parenthood and the pro-choice movement has found its voice by emphasizing their commitment to women and their choices. The pro-life movement continues to shame itself with its focus on babies. Babies are indeed adorable and no one wants to be a baby killer, but they sure as hell don't vote. Using gory, graphic pictures and being so in-your-face never works- very few people are interested in supporting something radical or controversial. That is why I think the pregnancy care centers across the country have found so much success... we focus on the women who are dealing with unplanned pregancies and their CHOICE, which surely can include the choice of life.

When I saw the title of this thread, I had this vision of T shirts the abortion tour folks could have printed up and sell like they do at rock concerts.


"Phabulous Phoetus Tour '05 - Phrolic with the Phanatics"

And don't forget to let your children pose in front of our lifelike 10 foot tall aborted fetus statue! Perfect to send out in the Christmas cards!!!



Yes, this post is uberoffensive but these people offend me. I wish my party hadn't aligned itself with these weirdos.

It's going to be huge! Like the HFStival only huger! I understand some of the other featured groups will be Medicaid Mommies, the Shooting Sperm, Excellent Embryos and (my personal favorite) the celebrated duo Welfare-Queens-with-Fourteen-Kids-by-Fourteen-Daddies.

Rock on.

LOL@ that picture.

In all seriousness, kids don't really have a say. There aren't any political platforms aimed at children because children do not make their own decisions just yet nor can they vote.

This anti-abortion group has a right to do what it does. It's like a "scared straight" tactic. The only problem is that "scared straight" tactics often have the opposite effect. For example, people will adamently be anti-abortion UNTIL they have to make the decision for themselves. Also, people will view these protestors as fanatics and, particularly children, will be traumatized. Traumatized people often go in the opposite direction than what is desired/expected. Same applies to people who are traumatized by their experiences in organized religion, etc.

Thats reminds me of my favorite saying on this issue.

"Everyone's pro life till they're in that situation."

And, I'm still pro-life...for me. Pro-choice for everyone else. I would rather die than kill my baby, and I almost did.
