No need to harass and threaten anyone, you can express your views on things without being a dick. It's just a little messed up that some of them that have extreme views feel it's wrong for an abortion but blowing up a clinic, and killing the doctors is fine and not considered a murder.
Those are the serious nutjobs that need to be kept locked away, there are many that just protest semi peacefully. Just need to stay out of people's faces and all.

I Wonder if you would feel that way if it was your mum having it all those years ago. Not one of you reprobates have even hinted at standing up for the unborn child.Dave The Man wrote:Having a Abortion can be a Very Sensible Thing
As a Christian I in no way condone the behavior of some of those that protest outside those reprehensible clinics, but the right to fair protest must be protected.

Two fold; the interesting dichotomy of a pro-life stance and feminism or pro-life from a feminist point of view and showing that intelligent discourse is more powerful than angry protest in changing views or at least making you think about them. Being yelled at, sneered at or talked down to tends to solidify existing views and lead moderates and neutrals into battle against the angry types. Even people who are pro-life, especially the non religious, tend to be against the clinic whackjobs.luvdids wrote:And the point in posting it is....?Wokko wrote:Didn't know what thread to put this in, this seemed closest.
