2. Kicking to make it front and center and it's kind of funny and it's kind of sad.

3. That is, of course, a question that presupposes that abortion is something deserving of punishment.

4. Most didn't know, one said life in jail if the woman knew she was having an abortion...
Edited on Mon Jul-30-07 10:46 PM by cynatnite
and one was so turned outside that she crossed herself.

I was amazed that they want it illegal, but couldn't get any farther than that.

I don't know what to say. :crazy:

Oh, K&R. Everyone should see it, IMO.

5. k&R...this is brilliant. Most of these people admit they've never even THOUGHT about it!
Even after YEARS standing in front of malls harassing people and holding signs. Even the last woman who says God called her there.

Can you say HYPOCRITE? Sure you can.

8. 5th K & R for you!
There sure are a lot of people who don't think. Hmmmm....


On a side note, and it never occurred to me before, but I think those posters look doctored. Anyone care to enlighten me about them? :shrug:

9. More important, what should be the punishment for men who got
them pregnant in the first place. I know, cut off their penis. Bet they won't get any other women pregnant. Huh...

10. This is hilarious--in a sick kind of way
Let's see, they're "murderers", yet we should merely pray for them, etc., when they "murder". Sounds to me as if they want to leave a nice big loophole open, for when THEY want an abortion....

12. Their leader didn't give them that answer, so they can't answer it.
They've been conditioned not to think for themselves. All they can do is regurgitate talking points.

13. Logic just freaks them out. I have posed this question, too,
and the Fundie I asked, also had no answer.
My question was. "Are you going to send a women to jail if she has an abortion?"

17. I want to know...
if they've thought about the fact that they would be forcing women to go through pregnancy, labor and delivery against their will, many of whom will be putting their lives at risk. It isn't like asking someone not to steal or do drugs.

I've never gotten a clear answer from the anti-choicers about that.

18. I've known pro-lifers who think the woman should get the death penalty.
They might have really felt that the woman should be put in jail but didn't want to say it to a cameraman and a reporter.

I once put that question to a pro-lifer in a college class (evangelical college, too), and he said that if a woman died in a back-alley illegal abortion that it was God's justice and she got what she deserved. I followed that up with asking if a woman should get the death penalty for an abortion, and he said yes. Most everyone in the class was horrified by what he said, though there were a couple who agreed with him.

Ask the men. The women are more lenient, since they can see going through it themselves or their children facing that decision. The most rabid pro-lifers I know are all men.

19. I wish you had titled this differently
I almost didn't look. Now that I have, I can understand your laughter.

Everyone, especially the pro-lifers on board should view this.

I vote for flogging.

25. Guy with a camera confronts some pro-lifers on a sidewalk demonstration.
He asks if abortion should be illegal
...yes

He asks if they think abortion is a crime
...yes

He then asks what the penalty should be if a woman gets an abortion.
...blank stare

One answers that the woman has already suffered and so no penalty is needed. And he asks if there is any crime for which there is no punishment in America
...umm, I guess not

One says she never really thought about it.

Apparently they think that just making it illegal will make abortion go away and the world will be all daisies and happiness. :eyes:
