Among the Pagan Ladies

WASHINGTON -- Sunday's "March for Women's Lives" made maximum usage of euphemism, invoking "choice" whenever marchers meant killing. They, for example, used placards to convey the lament that Barbara Bush hadn't killed her son in the womb. "If Only Barbara Bush Had Choice," read one sign. "Barbara Chose Poorly," read another. Marchers were also disappointed that the Pope's mother hadn't killed him in the womb. "The Pope's Mother Had No Choice," said a sign.

The repulsive heretic Francis Kissling of the sham "Catholics for Free Choice" named the Pope as "the worst enemy of choice." Kissling called the vile event on the national mall a "sacred place," the "place to be, not the churches."

One could call the Sunday march a festival of paganism, but that's probably not fair to ancient pagans. Worshippers of Baal would have regarded it as a little too depraved for their taste. If C-SPAN covered the event, it must have had to black and beep out much of it. It sounded like a sustained FCC violation and many of the placards were too baldly obscene (usually twisting the president and vice presidents' names in various vulgar concoctions) for any newspaper to report.

Not that the dominant media would report them anyway. No doubt they will cast the march as mainstream and American as apple pie, a reflection of widespread bourgeois dismay with the Bush administration. But few families could be found in this crowd. The march should have been renamed a "March for Lesbians' Lives." A group called the "Lesbian avengers" were out in force, as were "Christian Dykes for Choice." There was an awful lot of talk about "reproductive rights" from people not known for reproducing. Though to be fair, the crowd was a bit more polymorphous than that. "Bisexuals Breeders for Choice" made an appearance.

Upset at the growing perception that they are godless degenerates, marchers tried to wrap themselves in religion as much as possible. Planned Parenthood now has a chaplain. And march organizers cobbled together other phony religious fronts for abortion, such as "Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice." "You don't own religion," one speaker said to the "religious reich." A female rabbi appeared on the podium to say that she was "pro-God, pro-choice." The marchers know that God blesses the abortion of unborn children because God is a woman. "I asked God. She's pro-choice," was a popular sign. And they are now theological enough to place Satan on the same ticket as George Bush -- the "Bush/Satan" administration.

Separation-of-church-state advocate Barry Lynn, whom the media insist on calling a "reverend" but is obviously a fraud, also described the protest as a "hallowed space." But though they wanted to turn God into an abortion activist and enlist the support of as many churches and religions as possible -- "Episcopalians for Choice," "This Is What a Jewish Feminist Looks Like" were signs seen in the crowd -- the marchers could not resist certain anti-religious chants. "Tax the church, tax the church" followed the attacks of Kissling and others on the Pope and the Catholic Church.

The emcee of the event told the crowd that "I wanted to be your dominatrix this morning." Then, before introducing Hillary Clinton, she said, "Estrogen levels on this mall have reached levels we enjoy." A blast of applause greeted Clinton. She was in head-counting ward-boss mode, urging marchers to vote for the Democratic ticket in the fall. "Thank you, President Clinton," the emcee said to her when she finished.

Speakers called the event the largest "march in history," and claimed a "million marchers." They were only off by about 700,000 (if the press's generous 300,000 figure is accurate). Just as the marchers used "preachers" as props of credibility, they dragooned children into service as well. Children festooned with pro-abortion pins wandered around. And then there were the "respectable elderly," old fools marching with signs like "Another Granny for Choice."

The anti-globalization march from Saturday supplied a few stragglers to fill out Sunday's march, as evident in the numerous socialist booths set up on the mall. The two marches melded well enough. Marchers equated "choice" not just with abortion but with all the government programs they seek. They don't simply want abortion permitted but also paid for. Marchers called for "free abortion on demand" and held signs saying "abortion rights, welfare rights." Bush was blamed for all their woes. They even blamed "eugenics and sterilization" on the Bush administration -- a topic Margaret Sanger might have advised them to avoid.

I've attended a few walks for life in Boston. Lowlights included a group of people waving a 20'inflatable penis in front of a group of 50 nuns (yes, 20'). I saw a group of ten satanists holding signs reading, "Kill Jesus," "Kill babies," "Eat babies," etc. They looked like derelicts, and were cursing and blaspheming.

Sounds like a great clip for the if-it-bleeds-it-leads news? Never made the cut.

"Marchers called for "free abortion on demand" and held signs saying "abortion rights, welfare rights."

"...the "Lesbian avengers" were out in force, as were "Christian Dykes for Choice."

Gee, I didnt see ANY of these people on CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS..wonder why?

[bray]

Sounds like the Inner Circle of the DNC showed up! I am sooooo glad the lobotomy didn't take and left that Party of kooks and queers.

Pray for W and The Truth

In the early 90s (about 1992-1994), some homosexual groups held a large march in Washington. The network news coverage was innocuous.

The ABCCBSNBCCNN misinformation cobal showed the marchers from a great distance (in a shot designed to make the marcher's numbers higher than they were), then a shot of the main speaker at the podium saying something reasonable ("We only want to work and be happy and not be killed ... bla bla bla"): something no reasonable person could disagree with.

All very sterile. All geared to make the marchers look like nice people on your block.

The next night I was flipping channels and came across what really happened at the event. It was an hour or so long documentary with no commentary--just a camera among the crowd and letting the marchers speak for themselves. The depths of depravity and perversion were astonishing.

I didn't notice until after the documentary was finished that I was watching CBN, Pat Robertson's old network. It was the only media outlet that actually showed the truth.

Just so you have a frame of reference, I suggest you take a look at an overhead shot of the Daytona International Speedway grandstands on race day. They hold about 180,000 people. The infield holds about another 20,000 people. You will be amazed at how Daytona "dwarfs" the mall! The main stream press is lying again. Please read all the press accounts and you will note that not one of them gives a specific number. AOL headlines 800,000 protest Bush, but in the article it says estimates range from 300,000 to 800,000. Some truth! The fact is this charade of baby killers was a flop!

Bwaaaahaaaaa! Up here, you call one of those a "coyote woman".

That's right! I picked the wrong animal.

[dfwgator]

The last thing these "womyn" have to worry about is an unwanted pregnancy.

[ninenot]

The AP headline in my local paper reported 500,000 marchers. Neumayr's comment would seem to indicate 250,000, which includes children and some stragglers from the anti-globalism bunch.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you for the comparison. I always wondered about that.

[tnlibertarian]

Up here, you call one of those a "coyote woman".

Is that like that old country song that went like, "I went to bed at 2 with a 10 and woke up at 10 with a 2?"

[mrs tiggywinkle]

Incredible...digusting...beyond vile

A bunch of harpies...on the path to self-destruction.

The more you reason with them the more violent they become. The more society turns against the horror they support, the angrier this nest of wasps get.

PBS aired a show on population growth and the affect on the environment, yesterday, Sunday, April 25, 2004. Japan is in a population decline. It is estimated that every woman is giving birth to 1.2 children. The over 60 population is double the rest of the population. The government is trying to encourage women to have more children or have children at all and have found it is easier to get women NOT to have children than it is to get them TO have children. The results will eventually cause an economic collapse. There will not be enough consumers to sustain the economy, and not enough tax payers, etc. to care for the aging population. The results could cause problems worldwide since Japan is a world economy. And, yes, many women there have had abortions.

On the flip side, India has over 50% of it's population under 25. But they (as presented on PBS) do not do this as a love of children and large families. On the contrary, they have large families in trying to have a male child to care for the parents when they are old. The values are very warped. Male children are to stay near the parents to care for them when they are old. The females are pulled out of school to help at home, then a dowry is required to 'marry them off', which can be very taxing in a poor family with many daughters. Then if the young wife does not produced a male offspring sometimes her husband or mother-in-law will set her afire or kill her. Because of these warped values many female babies are aborted. At this point in time there are 35 million more men than women in India.

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

Weren't there a couple of threads last week or the week before of the pro-aborts panicking and trying to fire up the troops and call in the celebrities because it looked as if they would fall so pathetically short?

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Welcome to John Kerry's America. Signs of the times. How depraved.

[wordsofearnest]

Then there are "double coyotes".

You chew off the other arm so it will never happen again.
