On Thursday Afternoon, November 5, 2009, 12 pro-lifers were arrested inside or outside in the hall at Nancy Pelosi's office at #235 Cannon office building.

They entered, with two complete copies of the bill - all 2,000 pages (4,000) - and proceeded to rip it up, page by page, and strew it on the floor...

No, the Pope shouldn't be involved in secular matters.

The ripping of the bill was a masterstroke. Maybe people will see the mess that makes and think "What the heck is IN that thing?"

Good job, from an atheist pro-lifer.

I’d say Amen but in your case it wouldn’t be Kosher...so to speak.

I'm not religious, but I get creeped out by the incredibly intense hatred for Christianity I come across when people think I'm "one of them".

You’re a bit of a paradox but it’s of nothing as we are on the same side on this issue. Peace

He’s certainly trying to imitate Christ, isn’t he?

Why was the Father arrested?

This is the 3rd story this week.
Another was a group of protesters demanding to see Pelosi and they were arrested.

Same story?
Shame if it is since some around here were calling them idiots.

Then that lil gal who touched the politicians arm and he screamed assault and ran away, end story was folks in the crowd made reports to the police that she just touched him as in Hey she was let go and not arrested.

So my point being is this going to be a trend where folks/constituents show up and get arrested?

New DC plan to our politicians, scream foul/assault and call the police?

No one ever pressed charges in the days of pie throwing from the Code Pink now false arrest is part of the game?

Hmm.

Yeah well there was a little different spirit in the folks at this protest. The American people are getting angry and being touched is going to be the least of their worries if they don’t start listening to us pretty damn quick.

Only Code Pink etc are allowed to protest.

One more example of the hypocritical left, it’s fine if their side goes after the Sec. of State.

It’s ok to the left if their side disrupts Presidential speeches or the Republican Convention.

He won. Just a reminder in case someone forgot.

Call your representative and Pelosi and tell them that you do not want abortion in the bill.
