My friend just called to tell me the anti-choice folks are standing along a busy street
in my neighborhood, having some kind of rally.

So I was wondering if I should attach a wire hanger to my car and go drive by their rally.

Good idea? Or not?

2. Grab some coat hangers
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 03:06 PM by WolverineDG
& pass 'em around. :evilgrin:

Or (Just thought of this) grab some coat hangers, & then make a sign "Free coathangers--get yours now!" & set up shop close to 'em. :evilgrin:

9. For the real effect, you have to unravel them and dip one end in red paint
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 03:14 PM by bean fidhleir
or, preferably, a puddle of the red compound that you can buy to dip tool handles in. Pour out a puddle on a sheet of glass in teardrop shape, put the end of the coat hanger in so that it looks like a big drip, let harden (blowing air on it will help). Peel the compound carefully off the glass and you have a bloody coathanger that will be all too stomach-turning. The perfect artifact for a pro-Choice rally.


Oh, an alternative is to get some red balloons and fill them slightly with a liquid. Red food color and a bit of flour in milk goes well. Tie the balloon to the hanger with thread. Urrrp.

5. They're out here too, in front of our Planned Parenthood, every pm rushour
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 03:08 PM by mahina
for the last 2 weeks.

One way to respond effectively would be to protest on an opposite corner with "Safe, Legal and Rare" and coathanger images.


They are deffinitely trying to peel votes away from Democrats. Here, they have no chance.

6. Yes it is a good idea. Silence is betrayal after all. We need to FIGHT or we lose.

10. Go get em.
If I was free this afternoon I would drive in to help with that. They are domestic terrorists, just ask Dr.Tiller.

11. Have them charged with blocking traffic or parading without a permit
That's how we got them from protesting near our condo.

12. Well since I am part of an active anti-war group here
that protests regularly in this community, I really don't want to do that.
