Saturday at Dr. Emily

Saturdays are usually the most colorful days at Dr. Emily abortion clinic. It is the one day of the week that the clinic escorts and pro-abortion activists come out and oppose our peaceful activity.

Clearly we are there for different reasons - them, to make a political statement and casually insult us - and us - to help and talk to the women.

They post signs on the fences with meaningless phrases - the type that if someone was actually to think about what was being said for more than a second the logic disintegrates - and they also make our job a lot harder.

I was engaged in a friendly conversation with a woman of whom I identified as a likely person to enter the clinic, when one of the 'death-scorts' approached her and 'explained' to her what I was really doing.

According to her, I harass women.

This is how out of touch with reality the pro-choice position is - they are decieved enough to deny the humanity of the youngest, most vulnerable humans, they are decieved enough to brandish slogans that sound good but nothing else, and they are decieved enough to approach two people in a polite conversation and tell one of those people who clearly is not being harassed that the other person is actually harassing them.

There is nothing logical about the pro-choice position, and so stories like this should not surprise anyone. Pro-choicers like to substitute their version of reality to the actual one - that is the only way their veiwpoints can stand.
