Protesters are idiots

This week the capital city of Mississippi is being inendated with pro-lifers and pro-choicers both representing their sides of the debate. True to our right-winged form, most of the pro-choicers are from out of town. But my story isn't about the issue. That's really not something I want to get into. Rather I'd like to tell you a little about the protesters.

There is only one abortion clinic in Mississippi. It happens to be in downtown Jackson. I was down there yesterday. People wearing propaganda t-shirts pushing strollers with their kids in them littered the sidewalks. And apparently I had arrived as the day was winding down for them, and they were still everywhere.

Some of the pro-lifers had decided earlier that day to protest a few buildings down from the clinic in front of the new age bookstore. Because we all know the new age movement is doubling the number of abortions. And earlier in the week they had burned a copy of the Koran on the sidewalk. Whew! I am so glad because the number of Islamic people getting abortions has skyrocketed.

Oh and they also were blaming abortion on the immoral nature of the gays and lesbians. Now, I'm not sure how many people realize what any gay couple might have to go through to be parents. They might have to adopt, which in this state means either a foreign adoption or a single person adoption. A gay couple cannot adopt a child together in Mississippi. Lesbian couples have the option of artificial insemination. For those that don't know about this process, it is invasive, expensive, and not a 100 percent sure thing. The last option also belongs to lesbians, and that is obtaining donor sperm from a willing male. Now, I ask you, how likely is it that there are ANY homosexual people walking into that clinic needing abortions. Unless it is a lesbian who was raped, and in that case, you'd better move out of her way and let her in.

I cannot say how livid it makes me for people to stand against something and throw all kinds of other things in the mix. If you're against abortion, fine. If you're against religions other than your own, fine. If you're against homosexuality, fine. That is the beauty of America. We have the freedom to hold those opinions. Bigots make the world go 'round. But don't go protest abortion by taking a stand against the new age movement, other-than-Christian religions, or homosexuals. Seriously. You just look like a dumbass.
