Probably about once a month I drive past these protestors at a fertility clinic. They are always protesting abortion and saying how so many babies die there.

This particular clinic does not perform abortions at all. Ever. It never has.

Today one of their signs also said “babies are orphanized here.” What does that even mean? Do they think parents are killed there? Or is it because people leave their embryos stored there?

Do they also think babies are “orphanized” at hospitals when a parent leaves their room to go to the cafeteria?

I just can’t understand these people.

    I see this come up all the time, but I feel like it misses the mark in describing the average dumbass.

    The people that propagate the mindset want to hurt women. The people that follow them just want to be part of an exclusive club. It’s the same logic that religion uses. People like to feel included, and they like to know that there are others who aren’t. They won’t ever admit to the latter, but there’s a reason they do this shit instead of being reasonable and joining a fucking club or going to hang out with friends.

    The women protesting in that group don’t wake up in the morning wondering how they can hurt other women. They wake up happy that they’re part of the cool club and ready to fuck over anyone not in it with them.

    It’s a stupid distinction, but I feel like it has to be made… for whatever reason. They’re still terrible people.
