Anti-abortion protestors tear up copies of Health Care Bill on Pelosi's office floor -pics

WASHINGTON - NOVEMBER 05: Anti-abortion demonstrators, including Fr.

8. ha!


:rofl: good one.


When I was a pro-choice escort in the 80s, you seldom saw one either. The antis with all their hideous signs are always older folks or men.


I hate how that crowd can only see their own limited agenda. :grr:

33. Social conservatives: They hate women, blacks, gays....
lesbians, bisexuals, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, Democrats, libertarians, moderates, liberal Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, disabled people, poor people, so forth and so on.

To them, you only matter if you are a wealthy, able-bodied, heterosexual, Protestant white male. If you aren't all of the above, you mean nothing to them.

24. Do you purposely trash your area? If so, it's deserved--but I bet you
clean up your own messes.

15. No, they don't. They are truly morons.
Besides your excellent point, they voted for a man who premeditated the willful unnecessary killing and maiming of more American citizens without cause than anyone in our history just so he could help prevent a fertilized egg from being aborted.

I'm sick of people and the MSM allowing them to continue to get away with using the "pro-life" title. They aren't pro-life. They are pro-controlling everyone.

10. Sounds like they need to move the office
farther away from the airport men's room. The friends of Larry meeting obviously overflowed.

Looks like that priest is more upset than when altar boys don't reply to his inquisitive text messages.

13. I understand protestors demonstrating against things they believe are wrong.
BUT.... equating this health care proposed bill with abortion .... doesn't compute.

From everything I've heard, the bill changes NOTHING about abortion in the US, so I don't get what their point is.

They hate paper?

35. The pics in the OP reminded me of the Terri Shiavo protesters
~prolly the same people. I was hunting for the pic of the Shiavo protester who was flopping around on the ground looking like she was having a seizure. Unsuccessful, I went with the image that would bring all of that comedy back. :hi:

36. Well, yes......
but here's the fact of the matter... do you think the pictures of US when we protest are universally attractive?

Really, there is a lot to disagree with in this action, but when we reduce it all to superficial stuff, we earn no points.
