Barrington Street barf
Just want to say thanks to the anti-abortion activists lined up on Barrington Street on Monday morning. It wasn’t enough that it was pissing down, I mean what the hell were you thinking? I know you are trying to raise public awareness, (and you certainly

I’m with ya.
Those people disgusted me with their antics. I’m remaining pro-choice ever more strongly because of them and their stupid graphic signs…not only because I am for a woman’s individual choice to do what she wishes with her body, but because I would never ever ever want to be associated with such no-choice, no-brain pricks! Anyone can put a horrific picture on a sign and ‘try’ to get sympathy…but instead all you did was piss off commuters and their young families. Think more carefully about your protest next time instead of rushing to kinkos with the grossest picture you could google, and actually put thought into what you’re alledgedly ‘fighting’ for. You don’t see pro-choicers going out there putting pictures of a 12 year-old getting gang-banged and becoming pregnant do you? Instead they actually THINK about how abortion and the right to choose it affects the lives of those closest to it, and aim to promote respectfully as a fundamental right to individually choose.
I’m curious about how many [pro-lifers’ have actually adopted or foster-cared for children that were ‘not wanted’ or ‘neglected’ by their parents. If they are so uncompromisingly for unwanted children being brought into this world, how many actually follow through and help those children through to adulthood?
TV would’nt even show images like those without a warning. At least on TV we can choose to leave the room or change the channel instead of being FORCED to see them. Put those images on your lawn so we know who you are.
These people are like PETA – they’ll do just about anything to draw attention to their short-sighted cause. They’re fucking idiots trying to enforce their ‘holy-than-thou’ views on the rest of us.What a crock of horseshit to a logical mind.
No matter what you think of their cause, at least they had the balls to stand out in public for what they believe in….it’s easy to act like the tough guy/girl on an anonymous internet messageboard!
Well who is the hypocrite now?It’s not about who got the balls to stand up for their cause. You can blow yourself up in scotia square or crash two planes in WTC – it doesn’t make it right because it’s “your cause’. You’re a naive defeatist – most probably from the maritimes.
Sure, whatever, it’s a free country so spread your views pro-lifers, but there are better ways to go about it. Of course a underdeveloped baby is going to look rather repulsive – not because it has been “murdered” but because, along with other characteristics, it’s skin is somewhat translucent. Have some dignity in the way you propagate your views.I gladly raise my middle finger in salute.
It’s a fetus. Get over it. I think the protesters did wonders to invoke Joe Public against their cause.
‘there is no god’, i feel sorry for your children, you seem quite vulgar and immature “altar boy fucking cunts … You hypocritical fuck wads. Burn in hell. Had I been alone, I would have hopped the curb and drove 80 km/h straight through all of you bastards”…….WOW!!!btw, i am pro-choice, this is a free country?….right?, (scratching head)
This is a place to rant when you have no other place to do so isn’t it mwh? It’s called love the way we bitch for a reason. I dunno…
yes i understand this, what did i say that made u assume otheriwse?
