1. Say
Wow your daughter told me when she was here last month for her abortion how anti-choice you were, now I believe it.

4. He's in the waiting room now
And there outside yelling. He said they had to be escorted by guards past them to get in the building.

6. Why egg them on?
There is no line. Ignoring them will accomplish more than anything.

7. Not mine from a SD protest
One time when the light turned red and cars were forced to stop right by us, a car with pro-life signs was sitting right in the curbside lane. A woman stepped forward with a sign that caused all kinds of flurry in the car, and we looked over to see what the sign said, then doubled over with laughter. In bright multi-colored letters over a white background, she'd made a sign reading "If the fetus is born GAY, would you still bother to fight for it?" The light turned green and the car sped forward, none too soon for its red-faced, angry occupants.

9. I would tell him to focus on his breath
Make his breath even and steady. This will help calm him down. The victor in any battle is the one who can remain calm and not get angry. This is not an easy thing to do; that's why I recommended the breathing practice, for it can help.

If he wants to, he can then visualize all those protestors surrounded by a box of light. Have him picture the light getting brighter and brighter until he cannot see or hear them-just a muffled background sound.

I hope that your friend stays safe.

10. Personally I've always wanted to go up to each and every one
of them and ask them "just how many kids have you adopted?" and if the haven't "why not?" That seems to be their line - that everyone should not have an abortion and then put the baby up for adoption. I think that philosophy will just add thousands and thousands of unwanted, neglected and abused kids to the foster child system. But I'm a big weeny so I'm sure I will never confront someone in that fashion.

15. Have your male friend get a female to ask these people
how her uteurus is any of their concern.

And, if it is, do they want to pay for the rental space.

16. tell them that when they fight
Edited on Sat Mar-11-06 11:16 AM by salin
hard to stop the bombing and murder of children (in womb and out of womb), to prevent a nuclear hollocaust, and boycott Walmart which has supported the state-sponsored/mandated abortions in China (as in a big part of their growing economic power has to do with Walmart policies forcing US companies to move their operations (and jobs) to china) - that THEN he (your friend) would take their protests seriously as being consistent and THEN he might sit down and listen and discuss issues - but until then - that they appear to condone murder as much as they accuse any individual affiliated with a clinic of condoning the same.

19. I don't think
They would possess the cognitive skills to see the inconsistencies of their position.

20. Of course not
but they aren't going to listen to anything anyway - but why not face their self-righteousness with some real righteousness.

18. I would tell them nothing, and.....
try to discreetly slip away.

It seems that confronting these people only lathers them up more. But if anything is needed to be said, I would simply remind them that, as of now it is still your friend's constitutional right to have this procedure.

22. Ask them why they're not stopping the extreme late-term
extra-uteral abortions of the poor kids in Darfur, Iraq, Afghanistan, and all the kids who are starving and dying of preventable diseases? Why? BECAUSE THEY'RE ONLY PRO BIRTH!

THEY DON"T GIVE A FLYING FETUS FUCK WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM ONCE THEY'RE BORN. THEN IT'S UP TO THEM TO PULL THEMSELVES UP BY THEIR BOOT-STRAPS...EVEN IF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY BOOTS.


I'd like to abort some of them.

23. How low do you wanna go?
"I don't understand what your peoples malfunction is? It's no different than cleaning out your freezer/fridge at home from old, unwanted spoiled meat. How many of you leave a rump-roast,
package of chicken livers or wilted head of lettuce in the fridge for 9 months? Just think of it as a women defrosting her uterus or cleaning out her crisper drawer".

:evilgrin:

24. Jesus said, "He who hasn't sinned may cast the first stone."
Just get them with what Jesus actually said. They have no good comebacks for that.

Oh, and get them to tell you what the Two Greatest Commandments are, and then ask them if these people are their neighbors. Ask them what the Seven Woes are (which they won't know), and tell them to look those up before lining up to scream at women in a difficult place in life with no mercy.

I knew some of these at college, and those always shut them up.
