Anti-Choice Idiot at NE Broadway and Vancouver

Maybe this made you feel better for a little bit, but what does it accomplish in the long run? An eye for an eye leaves us blind. Better to ignore this individual and work on educating the pro-choice majority to get mobilized.

<They have destroyed themselves and their chidren and their childrens' children unto the seventh generation. What are the rightwing, repub 'christian' mothers going to do when they realize their warrior husbands can only give them dead or deformed babies....? Abortion on demand....? Family values, indeed.>

Next time you see this guy, ask him the question - what to do? I'd be very interested in his answer.

First off, this didn't make me feel a better for a little bit, it made me feel great for hours! I have basically 3 options when facing a raving anti-choice loon - confront, ingnore, discuss. Well, discuss is pretty slim as our grounds for useful dialog are not wide open plains (remember, giant crushed fetus head sign). I could ignore, but why? We should always face off to these people, quiet complacency allows them to maintain the public stage without seeming amazingly unreasounable (which they of course are). Confrontation, in this case, amuses me (and my friends) and humiliates the target. Mind you, this is not "eye for an eye" (did I have giant signs making fun of Jesus or Ronald Reagan?), this is just petty torment to make me feel better. As above stated (and just simply an obvious fact), we have nothing to talk about with these fascist fools. Counter demonstrating just gives an isolated individual like this more attention than he (it always seems to be a he, don't it) deserves and makes him feel important. Time would be better spent organizing, but its not like I spent a great deal of time planning this, I drove by, saw the asshole, tormented the asshole, had a good laugh with friends at the expense of the asshole (probably have spent as much time writing this as was initially spent on the action). Good humor and playfulness are essential revolutionary tendencies!! Having a laugh at their expense gives hope and cheer. And by the way, leave Emma out of this! I do believe she would have taped off the plates on her car, screeched to a halt in front of said asshole, planted a boot in the family jewels, and then took off with his signs!! Don't know enough about Margaret to predict her behavior, but Emma woulda kicked butt!
