protest

Rain may halt the cricket, but not the weekly ideological stand-off outside the Marie Stopes clinic…

Chanting was heard.

The funny thing is, previously I’d walked past the religious protesters heaps of times and had no idea what they were there for.
Now that the opposition protest has set up, they’ve drawn attention to the original protest.
I think it’s all part of a publicity plan for the religious protesters to get their message out there.

Sheesh. As a former Catholic I am still amazed at the lengths they will go to to impose their chronic guilt culture on others. So glad I got out.

Catholics don’t have a monopoly on being opposed to abortion.

Besides, I don’t think it’s about wanting to make people feel guilty. More about giving a voice to the foetus, who they see as a defenceless human being.

You have to hand it to the Right to Life Brigade, as they seem to be lasting the distance more than the Free Choice Brigade – judging by the numbers in the above picture.

Anyway, I wonder what happened to the bloke that we saw in an earlier photo back when the Pro Choice people started this protest? Did he get the leg over, and then shoot through; or is it simply a case of he had to nip off for a latte just before the photographer appeared this time around?

Lol, when I first saw this, I thought they were all lined up outside to see the doctor 🙂

The doctor they need is in Building 15 at TCH, or 2N at Calvary..

They organise these protests around the country

So who won?

Gee, the lengths to which smokers go to get their fix. 🙂
