this is so incredibly interesting. the maker of this video asks protesters outside abortion clinics whether abortion should be legal or illegal, and of course they say illegal, because it is murder, killing. then he asks, well what should the punishment be? the same as for murder? needless to say they had nothing to say.
you gotta watch this.

i know that i work in an abortion clinic, so i am biased, but i deal with our protesters as little as possible. but i think this little video is awesome without being inflammatory...and is very thought provoking. if it is murder, why would they not automatically suggest penalizing a woman who has an abortion as a murderer?
i think that there is a pathology, a mental illness, involved with these protesters. not that people who oppose abortion for themselves are necessarily mentally ill, but these protesters absolutely are. the preoccupation with the unborn, the bizarre inability to process their beliefs all the way through (as demonstrated in this video)...they are so delusional, bit we tolerate them and their christian bullshit just like we tolerate all the other hate filled judgmental christian bullshit...why don't we call them on it? one of the doctors i work with was saying that if they defeat us, if they win, it will be because they are undivided as only brainwashed soldiers can be, whereas we aren't zealous enough, and we draw lines. like, well, you can have one or two, but you "shouldn't" have 7, and the ridiculous lines between weeks...i hear it all day, like, 8 weeks isn't as "bad" as 14. what? man it wears me out.
any thoughts?
