So Annoyed With Pro-lifers Protesting On My Street Posted: 10-04-07 09:28am
Well, I live in Charleston, SC-as some of
you may know. I live in an apartment
community. The very tiny road that leads
into my community has an abortion clinic
right across the street. For a few weeks
now, EVERY, SINGLE day, there has been a
group of pro-lifers with signs that read
"abortion kills children," "I regret my
abortion," etc.
Don't these people require a permit?
I'm getting aggravated because they park
their cars on the lawn of our apartments
and picket all day long. No matter if it's
raining, whatever.
Whenever I drive by, they all scream at me
waving their signs and stuff at me.
Yesterday, it happened to be raining, and
I purposely sped through the puddle they
were standing next to and splashed all of
them!
I kind of felt bad afterwards but I'm so
aggravated with them disturbing my peace.
I have the right to drive to my house
without being screamed at and signs being
shoved in my face that I do not agree
with.
I was thinking today that I'm going to
make a sign that reads "Either I get an
abortion or YOU pay for my children" The
next one reads "YOU DECIDE"
Grrrrrrrr! I'm so aggravated with the
bible thumpers.

Right up the street from my office there
are abortion protesers that sit at the
entrance of a complex that is full of
doctor's offices, one of which is a
Women's center that performs abortions,
but it's also a clinic for women who
choose to continue with their pregnancies.
They are not allowed on the complex
property, but that doesn't stop them from
being there with their disgusting signs
and yeah, they yell at anyone who drives
through regardless of age.
They sit out there every Wednesday because
that is evidently the day that abortions
are performed. It really makes me mad,
because I couldn't imagine how it must
feel to a women who is having that
procedure done to be forced to look at the
signs and face the ridicule from these
lunatics. I was always tempted to waddle
myself down there when I was 9 months
pregnant, but I was too chicken.

Thankfully the abortion clinic I went to
refused to give out their address to
anyone that did not have an abortion
appointment. And they were also in a huge
medical building, unnamed and whatnot.
I can understand how incredibly annoying
that is. Check into your city's law office
and find out whether they can do that. I'm
pretty darn they can't since they're
parking on your front lawn and unless
they're given permission from the
apartment building, that certainly can't
be legal.
To be a bit petty, I certainly wonder why
these people don't have jobs, or they
somehow seem to find jobs that allow them
to picket every day of the week. How on
earth do they raise their own children

That's just crazy!!
Actually there were quite a few
demonstrations recently here due to it
being 40years since the Abortion Act was
passed but I never actually seen anyone
myself. I'd be mad if they were doing it
near my house, I know free speech and all
but still some opinions I don't need
thrown at me when I'm trying to leave my
house lol

Exactly.
They would swarm my car whenever I drove
by...
I mean sheeze, obviously I didn't have an
abortion--my child is VERY visible in the
backseat!

I understand free speech, but some people
just take it WAY TOO FAR!
How are you supposed to explain to your
child why they are pounding on your car
because you're going home? It seems
pro-lifers only care about the unborn
fetus the literally doesn't care about
anything! Doesn't matter that they are
teaching your children it's okay to harass
people because of their decisions!! GRR,
they make me so angry!!

Weird.
I just now got a message about a reply to
my topic.... only it's been a good 6+
months since the reply.
Thankfully, I have moved since I last
posted
If my child would have asked (she was too
young at the time but is 2 1/2 now), I
would just simply say "Honey, these people
forgot to take their crazy pills this
morning."
