Countering Operation Rescue

by Eli

Wed, May 11, 2005 10:09PM

At SF medical convention inside the Masonic Center hundreds of doctors gathered, including several national abortion providers. Middle America's Operation Rescue showed up in caravans to demonstate their rabid opposition to abortion rights. I got a phone call from the RCP and R&R that it was necessary to come participate in a counter protest in support of abortion providers.

This banner really pissed off the Christian zombies which led to a lot of screaming back and forth.

§Are you a Homosexual?!?

This guy kept repeatedly insisting that my friend and I must be lovers...since after all we were defending a woman's right to choose (?). He didn't stop until we asked him, "Why? Are you looking for a date?" He abruptly backed away.

This woman began talking about the bible so we asked her, "If you were to be raped, would marry your rapist just like the bible says you should?" She replied, "1) I would certainly carry the baby, and 2) I simply would never be raped because I've decided it will never happen to me."

§A Good Abortionist is a Dead Abortionist

He was serious. This man not only was ranting about "Death To Abortion Providers," he was also avidly proclaiming the same fate for homosexuals in the same breath.

§Saw the Caravan Leaving on I-80...

Saw the crazy Operation Rescue folks driving out of the Bay Area North on the I-80 the other morning and gave them the bird. Men were driving the trucks, with their crazy anti-abortion propaganda plastered all over the back of the trucks. Good to see that folks were able to be there in SF to counter their presence.

Boys out there protesting a woman's right to have control over her body, even if you rape her and take control....listen up-the Pope says masturbation is wrong, you are spilling "life giving seed" and it must stop-or the next protest signs will tell you "Outlaw Male Masturbation-Stop the Killing of Potential Life Giving Human Seed" Oh did I hear you say the bitches have no right to tell you what to do with your body? Watch it or we will make you live up to your own rules....
