Keep Your Religion/Bigotry Out of My Choice, Damn It.

I'm in the mood today to kick something. Lovely fgwriter kindly gave me a deserving target.


Go. Read. Then join me in the pointy-toed boot brigade (because some people you don't want to touch, even to bitch-slap)

This is indeed a good pointy-toed boot target.

Grrrrrrrrr.

That's just about the most disgusting thing I've ever read (the woman with the dead fetus). Disgusting on every level.

I hate people.

Many years ago, when I was just a wee radical, my car got blockaded by a caravan of pro-lifers. I had a "pro family, pro child, pro choice" sticker on the bumper, you see. I'm guessing the caravan was on their way to a rally or something, because all three vehicles were covered in gruesome pictures of dead fetuses. I was in the center lane. One car got in front of me, the second on my right, the third on my left. If I slowed down, they slowed down. If I sped up, they sped up. It was disturbing, frightening, maddening. I kept thinking, these people are hypocrites. They say abortion is murder, yet they are willing to kill doctors, blow up clinics, risk innocent lives on a busy freeway.

I still wonder what the hell they hoped to accomplish beyond making me even more determined to fight for a woman's right to choose.

Did you see this? I'm not sure if I'm more furious, or terrified.

I'm both furious AND terrified by that one. If you cannot in good faith do a job, DON'T TAKE THAT JOB!

I believe that if a LIBERAL did that, it would be called Social Engineering and roundly condemned, all part of the verbal double standard inflicted by people like this.

I call it spinach, and I say to the lowest hells with it.
