    What will the anti-choice do...

    when they're up the spout, themselves?

    Roe v. Wade ceased to affect me permanently the day my husband got his lab tests back indicating that he was shooting blanks. While I'm still deeply concerned for those women and girls who didn't demand an end to abortion rights and who will bear the brunt of a reversal at the hands of the Supreme Court, there's one group for whom I will shed no tears nor lose any sleep. That would be those anti-choice protesters who, while they shrieked for Roe v. Wade to be overturned, waved pictures of bloody fetuses, made their children carry signs saying I'm Glad My Mommy Didn't Abort Me, and engaged in all kinds of hysterical and embarrassing theatrics outside clinics, were surreptitiously taking advantages of the services those clinics had to offer. Read these stories (http://www.prochoiceactionnetwork-canada.org/articles/anti-tales.shtml) and pick your jaw up off the floor.
