Pro-life demonstration

Today on our way to visit gregs very sick mom,we were traveling on a major HWY. By a town around halfway to our destination,there was a Pro-life demonstration going on.I have no problam with that,I'm totally Pro-life,no if and or buts. What REALLY annoyed me was these demonstraters were jumping out in front of traffic ON this HWY,Flashing the signs at passing vehicals. Got me thinking,if there was an accident caused by thier foolishness,thier demonstration would be a total farse.

Please,this is NOT,I repeat NOT an abortion thread,but a thread about the stupidity of people in the name of rights and beliefs.

I couldn't agree more. I'm usually not for demonstrations, they rarely change anyones mind. Was it a church youth group? Kids?

It was adults...In our area there is a group of pro-lifers,so I'm assuming it was them,I didn't recognise any of them,and trust me we could read the posters because they jumped right in front of our car.

I am 90% anti abortion. there are times when it appears to be the right thing to do.
BUT I am 100% anti protest! these guys are absolute NUTS when they are out there....and winding up the kids like little machines to parade around and harrass those of us just going about our business.

every time I see one of those deals, I want to get me a big sign that reads
" 50% of abortions 3rd thursday of the month at ( what ever church is protesting) !!!"


then drive up and down the street they are on! they just piss me off so much!

I totally agree that protests can get totally out of hand. It also seems that some of these groups that are really doing good things for society in fact turn people off by some of the public protests they do.

Sidewalks??? You got sidewalks??? We've only got those for a few blocks N & S and that's just in town.

On roads and highways....no such things a ' sidewalks' here in the hills!

Folks acting like that here, no matter what they're protesting for or against would end up on the grill of truck/car/semi pretty fast.

First off I think a highway is a bad chioce to demostrate anything.My piont was,one of theses demonstrators could of been run over by a car.as you mentioned they seemed to jump right in front of your car.So i made a play on words.Second i think it can cause distractions of drivers at high speed(I take it this was not in the city limits)and therefore could cause an accident and end up killing someone.Again someone dieing at a prolife demonstration sounds like contradiction in terms.In your area I do not know where the best place to demonstrate for the masses would be,I pictured this in my mind as them in the city limints jumping off the sidewalk,(as highways in many towns and cities in Alberta slow to go through those towns) which is also ill advised.That is why I said side walk.
