Voices from the Summer Celebration of Choice - Koyuki

Starting July 31st, pro-choice people from around the country gathered in Germantown, MD to support the brave and outspoken abortion provider, Dr. LeRoy Carhart, targeted as "Enemy #1" by the anti-abortion movement. Operation Rescue, the Wichita-based group linked to the man who murdered Dr. George Tiller in 2009, helped to spearhead the anti-abortion week of protests called "Summer of Mercy 2.0" which we gathered to oppose and project the message that *Abortion Providers Save Women's Lives* and that Dr. Carhart is a HERO!

Wow, wouldn't that be considered "hate speech"?

[bluepuppyboy]

You're so wrong about Troy Newman.

@wombchakra no, I will not MYOB!!! I can say anything I want in a comment, and it will be free from cussing & insults, regardless of what anyone else does or says!!! Anyone that performs abortion is killing an innocent person, plain & simple

@smytb So, is that a rhetorical question? Under the circumstances I consider her language rather restrained. Of course she is able to speak without swearing..the threat of that movement tends to raise the endorphin level of those threatened and her recollection of the verbal, emotional and physical threat to her unborn child from that man justifies using any qualifiers to her nouns and verbs she so chooses when she speaks of it. MYOB

@smytb The pertinent question is, does Troy Newman know how to address a peaceful protester without intimidating behavior and without cursing her? Doesn't look like it.

badass...no respect for that fucking pig!! Love the sign!!

[ultromundoespossible]

So telling of what the Christian facists are actually about. Women hating.

[smytb]

Do you know how to say a sentence without using any swearwords?
