If they're in the public right-of-way, or on private property with permission, I don't think there's anything you can do about it. The only argument that could be made is that the displays are causing a distraction that leads to accidents (i.e. threatens public safety). Otherwise, it's all protected by the First Amendment.
Yelling, loudly praying, and holding up graphic signs will only serve to antagonize the people these groups are trying to reach. Ever hear the old saying 'you'll catch more flies with honey then vinegar'? Lots of truth in those old sayings
Now, chielgirl and karfar.........noone should adopt for political purposes. Noone. Adoption is not a joke, nor is it catch phrase to 'trap' hypocrites with. So please, stop cheapening it.
thanks
I think it's a valid question.
I will continue to ask it.
It's easy to spout garbage when you don't participate in what you state are viable alternatives.
Not cheapened at all. Valid question.
As we know, most people on the far left believe strongly in the right to protest- but only so long as it's their right and not anyone esle's who may disagree with them. This is one reason I've never attached myself to the democratic party despite some left leaning thoughts I have. The left is so totally intolerant and hateful. It's a very scary group.
Garbage. The republicans let people protest Bush from a mile away.
Try something valid sometime.
It would be a nice change.
Today I went out to run some errands, and a religious anti-abortion group was holding up graphic signs of dismembered fetuses on the side of a major road. There was absolutely no way to avoid seeing them. I was disgusted by this, and my first thought was, is this legal??? I mean, anyone who drives down this road is unknowingly forced to look at these graphic images, children included. Whether you are pro-choice or pro-life, do you think this was appropriate? I'm curious to hear people's responses.
I think these people clearly have mental health issues and wouldn't be suprised if there is a particular name for their disorder.
I would be less concerned about my children seeing such a demonstration (w/images), given the many learning opportunities inherent in the experience, than I would about the possibility of these people a) causing a traffic accident and b) being a population of low IQ persons being taken advantage of by their "organizers."
Obviously you know of someone doing illegal procedures, why don't you report them?
