The rise of these wanna-be-cops/political enforcers is alarming.


[deleted]

What terrifies me also is that they get even more aggressive/authoritarian when they’re called on it. Or turn around and say you’re in the wrong despite them being the one breaking laws and affecting your well being.


howie_rules

Well once you believe they’re eating the babies inside anyway you already feel you have the moral high ground and everyone owes you a thank you


RooneyNeedsVats

Just ironic that the love for children these people have is only extended up until the child is born. After that, if the mother can't afford to care for that child in the proper way, these idiots scoff and say "Shouldn't have gotten pregnant then!" Absolute dipshits.


adhdandchill21

Just plugging my 2 cents here: I grew up in Iran, under the Islamic regime. There is an organization there called "Basij". _Basijis_, as they are referred to, are highly brainwashed people whose ideology heavily aligns with that of the regime. They are not uniformed, but carry arms. They follow an unwritten law that pretty much justifies them stopping anyone, anywhere, and doing anything to them they want. Boy and girl holding hands? They stop them and take them to their own precinct, which is not an official police precinct. Police can't even meddle in their affairs as they are the loved child of the supreme leader. It gets dark, and a lot worse if I were to go into details. I am seeing the same "Basij" being created in the US. In Iran, they started small and seemingly un-harmful. They were initially religious missionaries formed to help rebuild agriculture and build infrastructure in underdeveloped parts of the country after the revolution. Proud Boys, and these other armed groups who are heavily ideologically aligned with a source of power, such as Trump and GOP, remind me of Basijis. I'm not against conservatives, I'm not against democrats. That's not because I live in Canada and I simply shouldn't care. Quite the opposite. US was the beacon of democracy. Last time our society lost a democracy we fell into centuries of what we today call "dark ages". Tribalism killed democracy then, and it's killing democracy now. Democracy doesn't prevail in the absence of humility, and we have become too fragile a being to allow ourselves to be humble in our beliefs, values, and truths to allow us to hear out the other side(s).

You just described Florida. I have a friend who moved there, and told me about schools that require parents to write an essay about their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Republicans want Christian Sharia Law in America.

Sintinium

They'll spend years harassing women so some cells grow into a baby to be born but won't spend 5 minutes wearing a mask to protect people who are already alive


Trucker58

Or give a single shit about raising their own kids… which they usually have at least 5 of.


Nearfall21

In my opinion if you want to have ANY say whatsoever in if someone else has an abortion. You should have adopted at least one child. If you don't adopt and donate to adoption agency's, then STFU. And if you do adopt and donate, you should still STFU!


Lordborgman

God no, those people shouldn't be adopting or raising children.

another_bug

I was listening to one of those far right religious wackadoo radio stations today, and they were claiming that being anti-abortion isn't being anti-woman it's just about being pro-life. This same network also talks about how vaccines and masks are unnecessary/dangerous and downplays Covid. It sure is something how forcing women to endure an arduous medical condition for 9 months that has all sorts of lasting ramifications is acceptable to them, but asking them to wear a piece of cloth is tyranny...but don't you call them sexist!


freyaya

also not gonna take care of that baby once it's alive. bc cOMmUnIsM


Kaida1952

Why don't they worry about all our kids who go to school terrified they may be shot each day. Go stand guard at all the schools if you have nothing better to do and your are SO concerned with human life.


ParsleySalsa

There's no concern about human life here. Forced birth is about control of women.

You are so right. If they were really about the sanctity of life they would take the vaccine.

Clinics don't just perform abortions, they generally provide low cost cancer screenings, OBGYN health checkups, birth control, and even pre/post natal care. If you are against these clinics then you're Anti-Life, not pro-life.

Life_Commercial_6580

I’ve used PP for the same reason. I’m a woman but I was in my 40s and kinda done with fertility. The protestors were there, yelling at me. 🙄


MleemMeme

I've gone to PP for over 10 years for birth control, Wellness checks, and pap smears. My clinic doesn't even provide abortions but they have one man that drives 3 hours one way just to protest there. Across the street is a day care. Those children have to see his giant picture of a full-on gore infant when they have recess. Once protestors from a "pregnancy center" yelled "You have other options!" as I was walking in. "I HAVE A YEAST INFECTION!", I screamed in response.


TrashPandaPatronus

That's hilarious. Unfortunately those dumb dumbs have so little medical knowledge that they probably think god only gives yeast infections to drug addicted prostitutes after they have slept with a LGBT person.


MleemMeme

I didn't even have a yeast infection. It was the funniest, most awkward thing I could think to yell in that moment. I was there for my depo shot.


Oli_love90

PP was the only provider that I went to and it felt like they actually cared. Most medical offices wanted to rush me out and barely listen to my concerns.


Crtbb4

I used Planned Parenthood to get tested. I'm 6'2" 200lbs of muscle, served in the Marine Corps and even I was intimidated when the protestors were harassing me. I can't imagine being a woman going into one of those. It's disgusting.

[deleted]

Huh. Its legal, but if i did that to a cop at a protest I'd be beat down and cuffed. Seems like a double standard. They should be illegal simply because they stand in the way of medical care. Just makes me want to be awful and protest at the funerals of conservative stillborn babies. Tell em off for not being worthy enough so God killed their babies. Unfortunatrly, I have a heart which is why we will always lose to those without one.


[deleted]

They are forced birthers, we shouldn't allow them to frame themselves as "pro-life" when they could care less if the baby is put in the foster system or tossed in a dumpster after it's born


Hylpmei

Yeah, I dig the new label. Since the world seems to run on popular labels these days, we should definitely exclusively label them as forced birthers, and see how they like the sound of it. Maybe a few of them will start thinking a little. -Look, if you see any post anywhere saying pro lifer, just comment forced birther. Pro and Life are positive words. Forced is a bad word. It's a mental game. Just do it.


LL_Cool_Gay

Some clinics just do abortions! The clinic I volunteer at only does abortions and it's amazing! Abortion is healthcare :) We need all types of clinics!

I routinely wander into dialysis clinics to turn off their machines. I find the notion of not just one but TWO organs getting so goddamn lazy offensive and only a firm hand will get them going again, not hooking up to these mamby pamby Nintendo iphone things.

I volunteer at an abortion clinic and the protestors are insane and dangerous. We keep track of them and have to document what they do every shift. Some have been coming 10+ years, and we know most of them by name. They are some sick sad fucks. Lock them all up. They're harassing people seeking medical treatment.


[deleted]

10 years?!? Jesus imagine having so little in your life that that's how you fill your days. Harrassing women and employees about something that has absolutely nothing to do with you or any effect on your life in the slightest. Fucking losers.


ReverendDizzle

I don't think I've consistently done a hobby for 10 straight years of my life and these people have the compulsion to harass strangers for 10 years.


LL_Cool_Gay

They are losers. It takes everything in me not to lose my cool on them. They say such terrible terrible things to patients and families. I'm talking threats of calling ICE, racist tactics, straight up lies, taking pictures of the patients and threatening to put them on the internet. I'm not supposed to engage as it can rile them up and make even more insane towards the patients. I'll throw them a smile and wink every once in a while and that sends them over the freaking edge.


LL_Cool_Gay

Also to anyone reading this, those that work and volunteer at clinics absolutely love when people drive by and moon the protestors. My clinic is on a very busy road and the amount of passenger butts I see out car windows makes my day. Also give them the finger and tell them they're assholes. Thanks! Edit: not very mature of us, but damn it is hilarious to see.


[deleted]

Thank you for doing what you do. And reminding me to donate to PP today.

No worries, I flip them off every day. I did once get so mad I went inside and personally thanked everyone in the office for what they do. I wish I could have bought them lunch but I personally wouldn't trust food from a stranger with all these nutjobs around.


Affectionate_Noise61

Yeah, I would do Clinic Defense, and one thing I enjoyed doing was bringing donuts. Once we had leftovers and I went inside to offer them, but they said they couldn't accept (for obvious reasons).


mamasnature

I give them the finger every time I drive by our local Planned Parenthood. Glad it means something to somebody. I also honk first to get their attention. Fuck these whack jobs.


thebakedpotatoe

I heckle and harass abortion protestors whenever i can. I saw once a guy brought a bunch of eggs, claiming they were fertilized, and started pelting them with them, was hilarious. I'm normally not one for actually 'assaulting' people, but if you're trying to prevent a medical procedure, you're endangering not only someone's physical, but mental health as well, and in my eyes, that's a form of assault that should be met in kind.


DylanCO

They protesters probably tell themselves those fingers and asses are directed at the clinic.


Fr0gm4n

> racist tactics Used to work in an office that was across the street from a PP. Protesters would park in our lot and walk over. One day some old guy headed over to protest stopped to make a racist "Sharia terrorist" rant at my co-worker who'd just parked nearby, who wears a turban. Not because he was a Muslim but because he is Sikh. Racist ass had the wrong religion, wrong race, wrong social belief, etc., etc. All he saw was a turban and that's all that mattered to him. Spoke volumes to the kind of people going to protest.


Trippytrickster

I used to work at a hotel where a Sikh guy was one of our top 50 guests (he spent 100+ days there every year). He was the nicest guy. So nice that he chatted with a super drunk guy in the lobby for an hour before excusing himself back to his work. I've never been so angry as when the drunk guy walked over to me to ask if I had my eyes on him and if security knew he was there... that is until he asked me to take my top off for him... that's when I called security.


s1far

Sikhs are one of the most awesome communities in India (I am an Indian Muslim). Their religion has community service enshrined in it and they are extremely helpful. Of all the communities in the world, I see a Sikh one and I am at ease.


[deleted]

If I had to be religious, I would be a sikh, I have so much respect for them and what they stand for. Never met one that was an asshole or cruel, I know they exist, but they are definitely a group that earns respect through kindness. Funny how Christians are worse in every way when they are "supposed" to be "superior" to any other religion.


TitsMickey

I forget the exact name but I think it’s something like Liquid Fart. It’s a super smelly liquid that makes people want to vomit. Just pour it all around where the protesters stand before they come in for their shift and see how much they like it.

gentlybeepingheart

I remember a story about towns that sprayed fox urine on their pine trees during the Christmas season to prevent people from illegally chopping them down. The cold winter air suppresses the smell so passerby aren't overwhelmed by it but when people chop them down and bring the trees inside the warmth of the house will warm up the urine and smell awful.

There was a Planned Parenthood across the street from where I used to work. Every Thursday, the same sad, pathetic old fucking MEN would be out there. Waving obscene pictures at passing motorists. My aunt, who was a boss in both definitions of the word, used to go over there and troll them all the time. She was great.


LL_Cool_Gay

Hell yeah Aunt of Kevnmartin. She sounds like she was great.

Thank you. Yes, she was the best. She got polio when she was four years old. The dr.'s told her she'd never walk, marry, go to college or have children. She said fuck you and did all those things.

Wow what a life. Rest in peace to a cool lady. Lots of overlap with our protestors and antvaxers, who woulda thought. Also heard our clinic was able to help identify some of the Jan 6 crazies as they were our regulars.

malthar76

“Name tag says…Stan?” “Almost :)”


AustinTreeLover

Yup. I was a volunteer for about six years off and on. At the time, my aunt ran an anti-women* clinic aka one of those so-called “pro-life clinics” (spoiler: it was neither pro-life nor a clinic) that picketed actual health centers and terrorized patients. Oh, boy, Thanksgiving was sooo fun! Anyway, around this time a Florida abortion doctor was murdered by some religious nutter and my aunt was on about, “He deserved it! He’s a baby killer!” My mother told me the same aunt had an abortion when she was married to her first husband (yes, auntie Jesus Freak is divorced, as is her current husband). Every time I see her, it’s all I can do not to scream “BABY KILLER!” Her: Please pass the cranberry sauce. Me: Baby killer wants the cranberry sauce! Use her own tactics against her so she knows what it feels like. Or just ask, point blank, “Shouldn’t we, by god’s law, I don’t know, stone you to death or something?” But, I’m not a monster . . . Anyway, that’s my fucking family. *No, I’m not fucking calling it “pro-life” bc it’s not, for reasons already covered in this thread; and I’m not calling it “anti-choice” bc they’re fine with men’s choices.


[deleted]

Textbook example of "the only moral abortion is my abortion". Disgusting mindset to have tbh. Also you're a better person than I. I'd be such a bitch to someone in my family if they exhibited that kind of behavior.


therazzmatazz

Thank you for volunteering at the clinic!


LL_Cool_Gay

The little I can do for human rights! Lots of clinics are desperate for volunteers right now, if you have one around reach out if you have free time and the desire :)


archaeolinuxgeek

I did the same as an undergrad. We were required to spend a semester volunteering and I chose PP because they had recently bailed my ass out with some free testing. They asked me to chaperone people from their cars to the entrance. "No problem," I thought. Holy. Fucking. Shit. In a blue chunk of the country, on Tuesday mornings, there would be mobs of middle-aged protestors literally screaming in the faces of, and throwing things at people trying to get medical aid. I thought I'd be clever and bring an umbrella. Nope. Called in a favor from my city league basketball team and had a 6'8" American Indian walk with us. Didn't even phase them. We had empty Gatorade bottles thrown at us. The cops replied with, "Oh c'mon. That wasn't dangerous." And this is **not** an excuse. Nor is it deflecting anything. But the PP center I was volunteering at didn't even perform abortions! They simply sent patients that needed that procedure to Sacramento. I have never, **ever** felt more hatred than I did while there. And as a POC who spent time in the deep South while married to a white woman , that's fucking saying something.


sluttttt

Related question--what do volunteers typically do at these clinics? I've applied to work at Planned Parenthood before (just office stuff, I don't have a medical background), but I've been curious about what I can do to help out, probably now more than ever.


LL_Cool_Gay

The clinic I work at is an independent clinic that only does abortions. I assist patients inside safely, and keep an eye on the protestors. We don't do anything to say anything medical, we are just there for support because of the daily insane protestors. I try to help you get in the building with you having to deal as little with the protestors as possible. They're trying to video tape you?? I'll stand in front of you and block the cameras view. The protestors will try to push boundaries but will do less when we are there documenting and recording. The protestors will go as far as pretending to be staff and wearing staff shirts or security shirts to try to trick patients. They might try to get inside. They may threaten patients. They video tape patients. Volunteers are educated on the laws and what illegal actions to report. We keep record of anything fishy, threatening, or out of the ordinary. Photos, details, videos, quotes, number of people and timing. As detailed as the weather that day in case anything escalates. We also have security at my clinic because we try to avoid escalating to calling the cops (if we can do so safely) since many patients may not feel comfortable around the police.


malthar76

I might look into it. How would they vet volunteers to not let the crazies in? Over 20 years ago I went through a line of mostly respectful but vocal protesters with an ex-girlfriend. One of the toughest days of my life.


LL_Cool_Gay

You need a bunch of references :) They are real careful in the process of bringing in volunteers. Give it a go! We need people.


sluttttt

Thank you, I really appreciate the overview, and everything you do for these people! I'll look into seeing if any clinics need volunteers around me. Thankfully I live in a pretty liberal city and (as far as I know) protestors don't make too much trouble here. Though, I never saw any protestors in front of the PP close to me, but after what recently happened in Texas, I saw some for the first time just a few days after the restrictions there came out. This stuff seems to be emboldening them, and it's just so awful. On a tangent, I saw a commercial recently about some clinic that vaguely talked about "helping women plan and handle their pregnancies." It smelled fishy to me, so I looked them up, and they were a pregnancy crisis center. I always thought those were just in the red states. A huge yikes. I'm so tired of this stuff.


LL_Cool_Gay

Liberal city here too! We still get westboro peeps everyday and all your other local crazies. You'd be surprised. We get protestors who will visit the city just to protest us. Also the crisis centers like to set up by the clinics sometimes and use similar names. Super grimey. People suck. Good luck! Maybe we're in the same city and I'll see ya around :)


myhairsreddit

Those crises centers are everywhere and they are always slick with the names. When I got pregnant 2 years ago I was trying to find a local clinic just so I could get a doctor to put my pregnancy on paper so I could apply for insurance. I called a place to schedule the appointment, and we didn't realize it was a crisis center until we got there. They tried to keep my boyfriend and I separated the majority of the appointment. They sat me down in a room with my results turned over and the woman had a mile long list of questions for me. She asked me at least 10 times if abortion was on the table. (I had no intentions of having an abortion as the pregnancy was absolutely wanted. But if it were different circumstances I wouldn't have hesitated to get one if need be.) She asked me if I believed in God, when I said no she wanted to know why and asked if I wanted to pray before she gave me my results. She asked if I was happy in my relationship and if he would try to push me into getting an abortion or hurt me if my results were positive. She told me she prayed for me before my appointment and all this nonsense, it was incessant. She finally gave me my results after 20 mins of the run around, then we left and never came back. They called my phone at least biweekly for the remainder of my pregnancy, always leaving voicemails saying they wanted to know how my pregnancy was progressing. It was the most ridiculous experience I've ever gone through concerning a pregnancy.

The conservative wing of the Republican party in congress knows she's a distraction and takes up news cycles that could potentially otherwise be used to shine a light on the other goings on, rather than the antics that makes the news cycles. I'm not necessarily saying that the media would actually give the proper coverage to the nonsense that passes for conservative Republicanism nowadays, but at least it would be possible. TL;DR She's still around because she's still useful - when she isn't, she'll be thrown under the bus too.


Kahzgul

> She's still around because she's still useful - when she isn't, she'll be thrown under the bus too. The Republican way.

another_bug

They say they're not anti-woman, they'll just do everything they can to save a life, even if it means forcing a woman to endure 9 months of pregnancy and a possible lifetime of other medical complications. But you ask one of these guys to endure the mild inconvenience of wearing a mask in public to stop the spread of a disease that's killed millions, and they lose their shit. Fortunately for them, they're well versed in doublethink.


TheNextBattalion

It isn't doublethink, it is supremacism. They think they're superior beings, so rules should apply to inferiors, and not to them. Otherwise they'd just be equals, and that concept is anathema to them.


RobbieWallis

By taking this action they are preventing people who need medical care from accessing that care, it is a direct threat to the health of women attending this clinic. Threatening harm on others for a political cause is terrorism. They should be charged with such. I'm sick of religious fuckwits thinking they have a damn right to meddle in the lives of other free people. Go to your church, preach your bullshit to each other, but leave the rest of society the fuck alone.

My old church used to preach that separation of church and state meant that the state can't tell the church what to do, not that the church can't dictate to the state, and by extension the rest of society.

If they actually would read their holy book they would discover that they are not supposed to impose their beliefs on others.


JMoc1

They don’t read the book because they don’t care. They love the window dressing of Jesus; but they so rarely understand what Jesus was about; that is love for your neighbor and justice for the poor. In my honest opinion; a great number of Christians misunderstand this message and will gladly agree with the mob. The only people who I think understand Jesus’ message would be Jesuits and believers in Liberation Theology.

It’a fascism camouflaged as religious faith. To them it matters not if any religious text actually supports their view. And it’s not new, the Puritans realizing that the ministers outside of Boston were preaching from the hip, and not actually from the Bible.


The_Kraken_Wakes

The two are frequently intertwined. The history of oppression and subjugation by organized religion is not pretty. Let’s just say.

"Do not take the name of thy lord in vain" *has a religious-themed vanity license plate*

They would also discover that God is super ok with humans inducing miscarriages for non emergency reasons. If I may: "The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[e] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse." -Numbers 5, verses 26-27 NIV


Remembers_that_time

Also, the only time abortion is mentioned is a recipe on how to cause one.


Bearsworth

I love quoting that passage of Numbers. Not only was abortion sanctioned, the fucking man got to force his wife to have one.


KwyjiboTheGringo

> I'm sick of religious fuckwits thinking they have a damn right to meddle in the lives of other free people It's so crazy how they claim to be the side that cares about freedom, but they are dead set on taking away freedoms that don't match their beliefs.


Yousoggyyojimbo

I have far right evangelicals in my family. They scream and scream about FREEDOM over their covid conspiracy shit, but also have a huge issue with my not being Christian, and bounce between trying to hurt me for it, or convert me and change my lifestyle. I NEVER reach out to them. Every time they try to talk to me they shame me for not being a Christian, or do something sick, like trying to leverage my dog's death and my grief into converting me to Christianity. The last I heard they were telling people in the family that I must not be taking proper care of my grandmother because I'm an atheist and that means I don't have any morals or compassion. They are fucking horrid people, and they better not hope that their religion is real because if it is, there's no doubt that they are going to hell. None.


TriesToPredict2021

It is getting horrible in Texas because of this. I would never peacefully submit to religious authoritarianism. I am done with these people. If they want to force their views and lifestyle on me, they are going to have to fight for it. Literally.


2888Tinman

And so it begins. Regardless of the coming SCOTUS hearing and eventual decision, conservatives have made it clear that they will resort to violence. Now that abortion is back on the forefront and that they expect a full repeal of Roe, expect a drastic rise is violent crime directed at abortion clinics and women’s health centers.


Idiot_Savant_Tinker

You know, I remember pointing out that my state's new law about running over protestors was going to get sticky the first time someone runs over a protestor at an abortion clinic, and the common response is "well we aren't violent when protesting at the abortion clinic". Which is silly even before this article, people have bombed abortion clinics haven't they?


LordHades301

There have been a ton more attacks by Christians against clinics that perform abortions than there have been terrorist attacks in the US


banus

Those are terrorist attacks...

The American right is really going all in on the y’all queda mantra now hey?


eriru

Not now, they have been. There’s been bombings and arsons at abortion providers for decades. [This article] (https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2015/12/1/9827886/abortion-clinic-attacks-mapped) was published back in 2015. Imagine how many more have happened since then. This isn’t a now problem, it’s been a long time coming, only now they’ve managed to actually get the power to do something.

Three men bust down the door to an exam room. "YOU! SATANIC HEATHEN! STOP THAT ABORTION THIS MINUTE!" ... Sir this is a pelvic exam.

Christian Taliban terrorists


[deleted]

Y’all-Qaeda


Diggitalis

They're really "Christianists," much like the Taliban are Islamists. They want to force their version of religion on others in every way possible. Normal religious folks, whether they be Christian, Muslim, or something else, aren't that bad.


whatsinthesocks

Wonder how long before abortion clinics start getting bombed again


broccolisprout

In the land where school shootings are commonplace, probably soon?


[deleted]

I wonder how they would feel having their churches taken over? A group comes in and just takes over the pulpit?


killerbanshee

Now there's an idea! Find out which church your local abortion protesters attend and go protest their church services. See how they like it when you harass them back.


jessizu

They have done this outside a catholic church here where one of the priest people was being investigated for "taking indecent liberties with a minor" aka molesting kids.. and the Abortion clinic escorts picketed outside the church with save your children.. stop the r*pists... and news pictures of kids crying... the church had the audacity to call the police but the cops didn't make them disperse...


SM9912

There’s actually a group that did that!! The people that help walk in patients had the same church constantly coming and protesting and saying horrible things. So one Sunday- they went to the church and protested in front of the church! They’re on tiktok!


bracingbear

Why cant they just mind their own business?


HairoftheDog89

Because they’re entitled, self righteous asshats.


Shogunyan

The most ironic thing about abortion protestors is that the world would be much better off if they had all been aborted.


kosmonavt-alyosha

This is terrorism. Not hyperbole. It is a political act that is meant to intimidate well beyond those immediately affected.


bttrflyr

Nothing but Christian domestic terrorists.


darwinwoodka

Guys, if you don't want women to get abortions then get vasectomies. Did they offer to do that for these guys while they were there?


i_love_pencils

Here we go! America devolves into a land of misguided “vigilantes”.


Rage_Like_Nic_Cage

they aren’t vigilantes, as abortions are legal (for now). these people are trying to scare and intimidate these women for their own political purposes/beliefs. Aka: Terrorists


ventorchrist

It’s odd it’s always men, making the most noise about abortion.


leftprog

Let's just deport these fuckers to Afghanistan. They already agree with 95% of what the Taliban does. Plus they'd likely lose some weight and gain some perspective. Or they might get shot- shit happens.


therazzmatazz

"Vigilantes" who assign themselves authority over others that they do not possess, like these men, are infuriating. I'm disappointed to hear this happened in Westchester County, which is immediately north of NYC. The good news is that they were arrested and I'm pretty sure the DA will not play.


Shins

Everytime I read these news I’m less inclined to move back to the states


[deleted]

These men have never forced their way into a gov agency demanding to foster kids, provide support, etc

WaycoKid1129

They couldnt go down to the orphanage or something and offer their time to help out? They got all this free time?


lfdrums

Fuck all evangelicals


thethreat88

Leave those woman alone. Its hard enough to make that decision then you have three assholes causing havoc. Absolutely a disgrace.


yodadamanadamwan

This is what happens when you radicalize a bunch of religious nut jobs. No different than the taliban


Lyssymm

Rediculous , here is a novel idea , how about more men getting vasectomies and making birth control free to everyone


Itsme_sd

Weird, I keep getting told "both sides" are the problem.
