Prepare to completely inhale your smelling salts.
State representative Stephanie Klick, who is pro-life, tells me that on the night of Davis’s filibuster, pro-choice protesters followed her into the women’s room, where they surrounded her and yelled at her.
“It’s a woman’s right to choose and you oughta be ashamed that you’re supporting this legislation!” they yelled, according to Klick.
“I tried to engage them briefly as to whether or not they had even read the bill, and they hadn’t, and they became louder and were chanting,” she continues. “So I stepped back out of the ladies’ room, and some of them followed me, but I was able to lose them in the stairway.”
Klick adds that the encounter left her shaken.
“These folks were really pretty edgily dressed,” she says. “They were pretty out there in their attire and the things that they were saying. They were using profanity, they certainly did not know normal professional courtesies. None of that was extended to me.”
Wow.
"Normal professional courtisies."
Pro-choice marchers recalled a particularly painful event last month when a woman whose baby had died en utero was coming to the clinic to have it removed. In an awful coincidence, that was the day, Watters said, when the pro-life demonstrators collected a children’s choir on the sidewalk to sing “Happy Birthday, Dead Baby” to anyone driving in.
Cindy Phillips, who was with those singing said later that the children were singing, "Happy Birthday, Dear Baby."
"We wanted to remind people about the good things about having a baby," Phillips said Monday, Jan. 21, 2013, as she stood with others at Huntsville's Stand for Life rally.
In a situation so fraught with angst, even good intentions can be misunderstood. “Will had to physically restrain the father,” Watters said, nodding to one of the men marching in a pro-choice jacket. "And by the time she walked through them, she was an emotional wreck."
"Pro-life" activists fancy themselves Jesus-pure. Even the ones who shoot baby-killers -- who are, frankly, the only ones who seem to have the courage of their convictions.
I mean, if I thought infants were dying in a mass holocaust, I would engage in armed revolt. I kind of suppose most of us would.
But, uh, we don't. And they don't.
This is always what made me think "pro-lifers" were frauds.
If I sincerely believed what pro-lifers believed, I don't see how armed insurrection would be unjustified. Mass baby killing! What cause could be more just!
I surely wouldn't be fucking around with 20-22 weeks bullshit.
But oddly they just dick around.
Wild!
