"Pro-Life" Poster Boy & Clinic Bully

│May 14 2009 │ Ottawa, Canada │

Every year church groups, religious clubs and Catholic school students gather to protest womens' reproductive freedom.

I was able to join a peaceful, Pro-Choice counter-protest. We were allowed to stand on the sidewalk while the 'March for Life' went by. A row of bike Police in flourescent lime jackets stood between we 36 - 45 Pro-Choicers and 8,000+ 'Pro-Life' marchers.

This video highlights one of the many reasons why I believe so much in reproductive freedom and justice.

Wanna get involved today?

Trigger Warning!

The comment section is full of sexism, death threats & anger including very hateful & vile statements advocating men's violence towards women.

Edited to add:

After reporting ThomasJS1's comments to the police a YouTube admin consequently deleted some of this worst screed.

Don't let the anti-choice bullies silence us! Report their threats & actions to police.

Each woman deserves control over her own reproductive health.

You know that little skank like you, that killed my family is now in prison but, only for my wifes murder. So I figured I'd have to get justice for my daughter on my own. Won't be long now till she's shanked in prison. LOL.

Please do say more. Everything you pro aborts say to me makes me hate all of you more and more, everything you say makes me want you all dead.

[ThomasJS1]

You do know pro lifers are winps right? They wouldn't even stand up for Roeder, who finally stopped being a winp and became an anti-abort.

There are 2 sides of the "anti choice" side. Wimps and ppl like me.

I even met someone who's wife sais she was having an abortion, he responded by putting a gun to her head and saying if she did the next time the gun would be loaded and he'd squize the trigger. He now has full custody. Wonderful isn't it.

[jennfarrsuperstar]

You are acting in an harassing manner. Please stop it.

[jennfarrsuperstar]

I'm sure there's nothing I can do to fill you with more hate - it's obvious you're full up.

Do you see now why I say the pendulum has swung too far? The first feminists were not arguing for men to have NO rights, rather for men and women to have EQUAL rights. Here you are, a man in the year 2009, boldly proclaiming for all and sundry that "man has no choice" about his own child! It's fine for men to get rich off killing innocent babies and scarring their mothers - you ardently defend those men, but heaven forbid you defend the right of a father to defend and protect his own offspring!

[blackbetts]

Woman's body, woman's choice. Man's body .....? Feminists! But eventually, the pendulum will swing the other way, thankfully.

@halleyscomet Welcome to the discussion! Regrettably, you're making the same presumption some of my previous interlocutors made. I don't HAVE a rocket, (actually or euphemistically). I've given birth to 4 children, and I have 2 deceased children. Before you make an attack on me, based on your false assumptions, take the time to read the entirety of my posts. Thanks! And all the best.

[halleyscomet]

@ThomasJS1 You're lumping a lot of very different people together. It's clear you aren't really opposing a single philosophy, but are ranting and raving against everyone you dislike as if they were all part of some massive organized conspiracy that had weekend meetings and afternoon tea.

You really should seek therapy for your paranoid delusions and anger management issues. The way things stand now you're a danger to yourself and others.

[halleyscomet]

@blackbetts "heaven forbid you defend the right of a father to defend and protect his own offspring!"

Heaven forbid you wrap your rocket and only impregnate women who actually WANT to have a child with you.

Be careful what you ask for. Do you REALLY want a world where women have to file false charges of rape against you in order to get an abortion?

[halleyscomet]

@jennfarrsuperstar "it's obvious you're full up."

Nutbars like him always have more room for hate, especially when it's a woman daring to stand up to him.

[halleyscomet]

@ThomasJS1 "everything you say makes me want you all dead."

Is THAT what Jesus would do?

Or are you a follower of Mohamed?

[jesusisbling]

Yeah, I've seen this idiot Thomas on other sites. He's a joke, a bad joke but still to be laughed at.

Laugh with me!! hahahahahaha

[ThomasJS1]

And you're wrong. I don't support men being violent towards women.

Let the female anti abortion types be violent against female pro abortion types and the men towards the men.

And is it not PRO ABORTS that support violence against women???????

It was one of you POS that killed my wife & unborn child!!!

I make it clear IRL that if a pro abort comes near me I take it as a serious threat to my life. You bort heads killed my family and I don't doubt you'd kill me, had you the chance.

[ThomasJS1]

Interesting quote from Margret Sanger, you know the founder of planned parenthood and Admitted nazi supporter. Sanger: "I think the greatest sin in the world is in bringing children into the world" Listen to the whole thing yourselves. /watch?v=xlTR9EvXsgE 50 seconds in. Scary, very scary. And she's who essentially started the pro choice movement. Speaks volumes for the pro abort cause. Abortion, AKA modern day eugenics. Congrats pro aborts, you've far surpassed hitler.

[ThomasJS1]

Some interesting things pro choicers have done. 1,251 homicides and other killings 157 attempted homicides 28 arsons and firebombings 904 assaults 1,908 sex crimes (including 250 rapes) 106 kidnappings 420 cases of vandalism 1,616 medical crimes A good chunk of those were done by Actual abortionists like the ones I've already listed. And I don't just hate pro aborts, I hate pedophiles, rapists, murderers, etc. Well most of those are pro choice any ways.
