Westboro Baptist Church to Protest Elizabeth Edwards Funeral


Westboro Baptist Church, famous for protesting against gays and picketing at military funerals, has stated it plans to hold a protest at the public memorial of Elizabeth Edwards on Saturday. The service will be held at the Edenton Street United Methodist Church and begins at 1 p.m. in Raleigh, N.C.

USA Today reports the church plans on protesting for 90 minutes before the memorial starts. Edwards passed away Tuesday after a long battle with cancer in her home in Chapel Hill. Edwards was a supporter of gay marriage after a speech she gave in San Francisco in 2007.

Westboro continues to be in the news this year. Earlier in October a case before the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in favor and against free speech at a public funeral as to what should be appropriate.






I sincerely hope there is a counter protest being planned as I type this

1. I heard about this yesterday. Of all people to protest, Elibeth

suoudn't be on that list. I hope THIS BS backfires on that criminal church because Elizabeth is a well known figure for being one of the kindest people in the world of politics and I hope all people condemn these AH'S.

2. The do it to soldiers - that should cause similar outrage

3. They have been doing it to the LGBT

community much longer and no one much cared about that. I say ALL of it should matter not just soldiers or EE, who does not deserve this either.

Just making a point that does often get lost in these discussions, not saying you do not know about it.
