140 million murdered souls.....RIP.

Carol Thought you would be interested in this.

Can you imagine nearly 300,000,000 murders since Roe v Wade and the liberal accomplices blame conservatives for the failure of social security, when they are the ones sytmatically eliminating the continuation of the funding through these blatant acts of homicide.

[sweetliberty]

Looks like a very powerful exhibit. Amazing how liberals hate truth.

"She reaches across and takes the hammer out of my hand, gesturing it in my face and going, 'How dare you as a woman [express a non-approved political position]".

The thought plantation enforcement division seems to be getting a lot of work from its Leftist overseers these days...

Kiera Manikoff, a political science major and a junior, scuffled with a female who verbally harassed her and held a hammer over her. Charges are pending against the assailant.

So it is with the left.

Nah, can't chat with them over differences, they want to hit you with a hammer.

That's all I need to know.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Hey Race..............think about it.........

..............here is a phrase coined by the opposition

........."pro-life Nazi"

......repeat until such term becomes ridiculous.

[WOSG]

The woman responded by telling Manikoff she found the display "horribly offensive." Then the encounter took a physical turn.

Truth Angers those opposed to virtue.

[WOSG]

"One made a comment that an abused child would have been better off aborted than born."

Yeah that's what Hitler said about the jews.

That woman is not pro-choice she's anti-human.

[doug from upland]

Here we go again with the violent left. Why is it that when we protest we do it with creativity and humor and they do it by defecating and vomiting in the street and destroying property? I know why ---- they are lowlife scum.

[ampat]

The continuing pattern of liberals destroying others' property.

[doug from upland]

Because they find it offensive, they would deny the freedom of speech they so cherish. Crosses and signs are offensive but murdering a baby in the womb is not. They truly live in a parallel universe.

[Kuksool]

Wouldn't the university regard the trashing of the exhibit as a hate crime?

[He Rides A White Horse]

One made a comment that an abused child would have been better off aborted than born. So, instead of working to stop abuse, you solve the problem by aborting infants.

Gives me a massive headache.

......makes me really sick.............

[farmfriend]

Ping for life.

[He Rides A White Horse]

There is no shame in being pro-life...........liberal denunciations notwithstanding..

[irv]

One made a comment that an abused child would have been better off aborted than born.

I once stumbled into a good answer for this "quality of life" argument: Frederick Douglas. Born the most abused of people - a slave - Douglas rose to be a great man and a champion of freedom for all. He believed in women's rights, too, though he would not have agreed with someone who thought he would have been better off being killed before he was born.

Just keep in mind that, as the incident described above shows, when you argue effectively against the Left's ideas, they respond badly.

Anti-abortion display at UMass destroyed

By NICK GRABBE, Staff Writer

Thursday, April 17, 2003 -- AMHERST - An anti-abortion display outside the Student Union at the University of Massachusetts was destroyed by vandals Wednesday night, police said.
The display of 160 white crosses, representing the number of abortions every hour in the United States, had previously been the site of vandalism and an alleged assault. It had been up for three days.

UMass police received a call reporting the incident at 11:10 p.m. Wednesday, said Deputy Patrick Archbald. When officers arrived at the south side of the Student Union, they found the crosses broken and strewn around the area, with some in a nearby garbage can, he said.

The incident happened after 8:45 p.m., when an officer on foot patrol noticed that the display was intact, Archbald said. There are no suspects, and the incident is under investigation, he said.

The idea for the display came from David Peterson and Matthew Progen, two members of the UMass Republican Club. They said they saw similar displays in Florida during spring break.

Progen, a senior from Leominster, was standing at the site of the display this morning with tape over his mouth and a sign reading "Silenced by the Radical Left," he reported by cell phone.

"This made me pretty angry," he said. "I spent a lot of time putting this together, and it's opened up a lot of discussion. For people not mature enough to engage in conversation to take out their juvenile aggression this way is disheartening."

Only if you tell people those crosses represent dead Iraqi children starved by the cruel UN sanctions against the peace loving Muslims in the Middle East, I guess...
