Also used to have to counter-protest when I was in university because a local group does a "40 days of life" protest where they literally stand outside the hospital and protest for the entire 40 days of Lent, trying to make sure they have at least one person out there 24 hours a day. A group from the university organized a counter-protest and a lot of random people showed up too Also had to call the police because another group had extremely graphic banners that they were hanging over the side of the highway. The cop told me "everything they are doing is within the law, you can do whatever you want within the law" essentially telling me to go fuck with them because he couldn't. The city eventually had to pass a bylaw about hanging things over the highway to get them to leave. The same group was passing out EXTREMELY graphic flyers door to door while school was getting out, I had to go up to all my neighbours doors and take them away. A couple of older kids started helping me when they saw Luckily for us I don't think they will ever get anywhere but that doesn't stop them from trying. and I'm never going to stop counter-protesting or talking about this, even as a Canadian, because you can never get too comfortable. |

That's not to say that I think hopping on flash flash revolution dot com and saying "pro-lifers are stupid assholes and here's why" is a no-no. Being civil is unnecessary in some settings. However, if I'm talking to one person and I feel like I might have some pull, I'm gonna try to make my case without making them want to exit the conversation. This also means future talks are more likely. I guess my point here isn't totally relevant to Progress because the sphere of influence is so tiny, but every little bit helps, right? Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents after skimming, feel free to tell me why I'm wrong and I'll listen and take it into consideration. |

Even the lawmakers are admitting that this can't possible stick when challenged Roe v Wade hasn't been overturned and probably won't ever. I feel like we can probably focus on the lawmakers doing a big no-no and not demonize all pro-lifers and somehow still come out ok. My sticking point is that I see way too many people on the left rather serious or not, starting to default to fuck this, fuck them we might have to start getting rough and like, I really don't want to see another Civil War snowball from that. Because I think that has a great chance of happening in another decade |

You say "probably won't ever" which is why these things are going to get to the stage where we have to hold our nose and hope Clarence Thomas sees reason. |

It is a very real fear if one of them does it make it there, however. I think that its very rare where something that has stood for this long is rolled back by the Supreme Court (Yes, I know it happens) and I just can't quite wrap my head around it happening here but I know that it could happen, and that sucks.

Re: fuck Georgia
More importantly: Republican legislators think it can, which is why they're trying to introduce legislations that will get challenged, so they can try and get them there.

1. Culturally people HAVE to obsess splitting everyone into two buckets (in this case it is pro-choice and pro-life, although there are many other topics). The introduction of those labels encourage demonizing the other side (i.e. "you are an enemy, I'm right and you're wrong so shut up"). If you're not pro-life, you're pro-death. If you're not pro-choice, you're anti-choice. The naming is specifically done the way it is to incriminate anyone that doesn't want to be placed under a certain bucket. And now we're in this mess where a bunch of people are trying to appear morally superior, resulting in chains of "anti-choice forced birthers!" and "pro-death baby killers!" in addition to stressful legal battles. Literally if the legal crap just stopped, and the labels went away, think about what could move forward with that. 2. Abuse of hypotheticals to the point that the woman is forgotten. Quote:
Quote:
- "Killing babies is immoral!" - "Keep it in your pants, actions have consequences!" And then someone closely related, or even themselves, gets pregnant. It's all fun and games until it actually happens in real life. It's a wake-up call that it's easy to dismiss a woman in an abstract idea, and then biology and life circumstances kick in. Take some more of the testimonials from DaBackpack's link as an extension to this point: Quote:

Quote:
- That she spent years of hard work to get to where she was, but it could go down the drain very quickly. - That because of the demonizing attitude of the abortion topic, she now has to worry about the information spreading around. The irony here is that the narrative is usually "it's an inconvenience" but this woman realizes it could seriously impact her future. Quote:

Re: fuck Georgia
On a different note, despite how I don't have a horse in this race, I was motivated enough from recent events to donate to Planned Parenthood.
I can't imagine how many relationships will be ruined from these decisions, and how much increased medical debt people will be in. It's really sad to see other peoples' misfortune have to be used for something that should have never turned into a political issue. |

Re: fuck Georgia
So let me get this straight from that article.
A woman (who apparently started a fight?) got shot in the stomach while pregnant which killed her unborn child. Then after the investigation, they arrested the person that got shot and NOT the shooter on the grounds that the mother failed to protect their unborn child? That sounds all kinds of screwed up, what the hell? |

Re: fuck Georgia
Who in their right minds would come up with something so ridiculous? It baffles me how we have such a large proportion of politicians being proponents of this law.
