Anti-abortion protest on Harvard Street in Brookline
By ESun on Wed, 04/29/2009 - 10:24am
There was an anti-abortion protest on Harvard Street in Brookline on Monday night with approximately 40 people including one dressed as the grim reaper blocking the sidewalk. Other "highlights" included a large trailer with some pretty graphic images on it. While I absolutely support free speech and the right to assembly, it was a little invasive and disturbing.

I suspect the unborn child
I suspect the unborn child finds abortion "a little invasive and disturbing."
Oh well done.
*golf clap*
Let's ask it
I suspect the unborn child doesn't find abortion to be anything. Stop anthropomorphizing fetuses.
Let's Ask Further ...
if all these kind folk are so worried about fetuses, why do they all disappear when it comes to the health and welfare of little dudes like Patient Zero and the environment they have to live in?
Somehow, children playing near unregulated hog waste facilities in Mexico, or eating garbage in Africa or dying of preventable illnesses right here in the US doesn't seem to be on their radar.
Jeesh, come on!
If God totally like cared about them, he wouldn't have sent the stork what brung 'em to Mexico in the first place, would He? Obviously not. Problem is the parents probably aren't worshipping correctly and I bet it's gone on for generations that way. Obviously.
You might want to try
You might want to try learning the meaning of words before you use them. To anthropomorphize is to apply human characteristics to something not human. A baby is generally human, unless you've been fucking horses and dogs.
Touch a nerve?
Did I touch a nerve? Then I know you're not a fetus anyways.
I know well and good the meaning of the word and it applies to all inanimate objects as well. The original anon commenter thought it pithy to suggest that we deem to know how an unborn fetus "finds" abortion to affect it. That is the very definition of anthropomorphism. Truly, the unborn fetus has no "feelings" on abortion and suggesting it does purely ascribes human and emotional characteristics as an appeal to the reader. There really is no reason to bring your fantasies about horses and dogs into the picture; my point is valid and understandable.
Right you are
I sometimes forget that 9 lawyers in the seventies indisputably discovered when a child in-utero feels pain. That and you say so (and you can use "anthropomorphizing" in a sentence, so you must be smart).
Lawyers, doctors, who can you trust?
Why go to the lawyers when you can go to the medical researchers who have determined that the actual cells necessary to even approximate the feeling of pain don't develop until the third trimester, well after nearly all abortions take place AND well within the "late-term" laws setup to protect viable fetuses. But you don't know what you're talking about anyway and just throwing out tired old rhetoric. I'm willing to bet that even though this isn't my say-so, it's medical science's, you're still not willing to accept it.
You and your "science."
You and your "science." When are you going to learn that Jesus has the answer to everything!
Excuse me while I go stone some women for adultery.

So now we know what the old people who clog the intersection in coolidge corner on the weekends do during the week. At least they are consistent. I always enjoy the clash between girl scouts selling cookies and the old people shouting "No blood for oil!!" at the little girls in uniform.
I like how these people get organized to make a spectacle our of a woman's legal right to her body, but they won't volunteer to clean up the grafitti or the trash that liters the area.
