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.

    You’re right, but as the others have mentioned, it’s a spectrum of stupid on one end and evil on the other… the folks who land on the stupid end are being manipulated by the ones on the evil end, so either directly or one step removed, the cruelty is still the point.

    Maybe I shouldn’t judge the pawns by the hand that placed them, but I’m so tired of seeing evil get a free pass because it was committed by the village idiot.

      I think that was kinda the point I was trying to make lol. There is so fucking much evil around that we shouldn’t shit on the stupid like they’re the evil ones. I might also be more lecturing myself because I know I have little patience for stupid and try as I might to have more patience or unde4standing it’s hard at the end of the day not to not feel the truth behind the saying “you cant fix stupid.” But who the fuck knows anymore. 🍻
