Re: Texas Department of Public Safety confiscates jars of feces from pro-abortion pro
You shouldn't judge all pro-choice people based on the actions of a few morons.
My step-daughter was at the Shout Down protest in Austin. In fact, her picture is among about a dozen or so mostly women and some men inside the capitol building, which AP shared with news organizations around the country.
She is an honest, caring, and compassionate person. She is educated. She works everyday. She is self-supporting, and would be considered is working middle class (or lowest level middle class). She is altruistic. She cares about the welfare of children. She loves children. She believes, as a born woman who lives, obviously among all other born, and who must navigate through life's burdens and deal with the everyday tasks required it is essential to meet her personal and social obligations.
She is not a liar. She is not selfish. She is not ignorant. She is not a supporter of violence engaged in by humankind such as war or even the death penalty. She does not have homicidal tendencies. She is not an aggressive person, but the opposite to a fault.
She believe in equality, self-determination, and liberty for men and women alike.
But most importantly as a women...she believes her personal rights are important...so important she is willing to make a public statement and stand up for her rights as human being, and as a woman...a born woman. She will not be bullied by 13th century thinking radicals who believe that they have the right to undermine and reduce the ability for women to be free to make their own choices about their life situations and what they deem to be their future. She will not stand silent and become submissive because moral crusaders want her to submit to their will.
But since the protest...and knowing she was there...standing up for not only her rights as a woman, but for her sisters in humanity...she was called every trashy, nasty, degrading, hateful, and despicable names possible. She was threatened. And mostly by those who claimed to be representatives of their respective religions. In other words, people who would perpetrate violent acts...so-called people playing a role that portrayed what their god's alleged dogma against women and men who acted out in CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE...in order to make themselves heard. They did not threaten violence.
I am personally offended by the moral fascists and moral crusaders who believe that they have the right to control others by silencing them and depriving them of equal rights and equal access and liberty and self-determination of persons who make every effort not to infringe on the rights of others. And who attempt to co-exist with others who have different beliefs while they also live out their lives exercising their full rights and self determination.
With the above said, Dig...certainly not all pro-life are morons. And many are simply people who live quietly and go about their daily lives...being living examples of their faith and beliefs. They'll probably never speak out about their pro-life stance. But they express that stance by living by their principles and beliefs. They are fully aware that there are others who believe differently than they do. But they know that these people do not personally infringe on their lives, nor do they feel the need or have the propensity to control others most personal aspects of human nature and behavior.
There are extremist from every walk. And in my maybe not so humble opinion. These people who have the audacity to call women who choose to have an abortion...murders and killers...who are women, in all probability, who have the same type of character and integrity as my step-daughter...these people who claim women are murders and killers are nothing short of misinformed, misled, and unsanctioned individuals who have adopted extremist principles and beliefs.
It's good to be an American. Home of the brave. Land of the free. For liberty and justice for all...except the born. It's ****ing shameful.
Thanks...
