In My Heart.

Eiri - I'm sorry but I thought your post was highly inappropriate, well the first part anyway. I think you have gone a bit far in voicing your opinions. I totally agree in free speech and the right to voice your own opinions but when you say things like I hope you see the pain and love in her eyes and I hope the hatred she has for you and your narrow-minded ways burns your soul deeper than hell ever could. It might sound narrow minded to you but that is your opinion.... Look im not saying that I agree with the original poster or not but I think you should show some more respect when voicing your opinion.

This is only my opinion.

**Added**

We put alot of emphasis on sex education in our school system and we are taught about birth control, how to use it, when to use it, truths about myths e.g the pull out method is a form of birth control. We still have the problems that you are blaming .Bush for and personally I dont believe it is .Bush's fault as it should be the role of the parent. The bottom line is people are going to do what they want regardless of how many times we tell them.

I don't pray very much, but the only reason I'd pray outside an abortion clinic is for all the women seeking the procedure go through it as painlessly and quickly as possible. I would also hope these women suffer no post-abortion infections or run-ins with pro-life pharmacists who deny them antibiotics prescribed after an abortion to prevent infection.

It's not the unborn, unwanted fetuses that need your prayers, pro-lifer - it's the kids in the system, the kids who are abused, prostituted, and neglected who need them. Pull your head out of your a** for five seconds and maybe you'll understand this.

Are you completly stupid Erie?
can you not read?
where did the op state that she was protesting?

Oh thats right she didn't did she thats you twisting her post funny how pro choicers seem to have that down to a fine art.

Read here post if you are capable that ios she said she was attending a prayer vigil not a protest i sugest you invest in a dictionary and get a clue

Well I have been to the prayer vigil, the clinic was quite busy and I felt a real sadness. There was a little bit of "argy bargy" at the Marie Stropes Clinic in Leeds today. Apart from a Number of Women hurling obsenities at our peaceful, prayerful and respectful vigil one man was very agressive with both us and our property, Thankfully for our part at this point we simply kneeled down and prayed harder which seemed to disengage the situation. We were also Photographed and video recorded by Police Camera Crews and Monetered every few minutes by police in passing unmarked Cars

"I have always been very grateful of the fact that protests of any form outside of abortion facilities doesn't seem to really happen here, I sincerely hope that this doesn't change. "


Moo, If you mean in the UK. I am sorry to inform you that There is a pro life prayer vigil outside of the clinic in leeds every weekend and the same is true at most of the larger venue's and there is plans afoot within pro life circles to extend them to the smaller ones, hospitals who offer abortions and Embryonic/ human emberyonic genetic research centres.

Just because you dont hear about it on the news dosnt mean these vigils dont take place. Its not too long ago that a group of Pro life vigil was disrupted in liverpool many people were arested. There was a bit of objection from some pro choice members of the public who called the police, when they arrived the police told them that we had cleared it with them. This agitated the pro choicers who started trouble and one pro choice person Hit a police officer the result was that both the pro life and pro choice members of the public were arrested.

I don't have a problem with anyone who wants to quietly pray outside an abortion clinic, as long as they do not speak to/interact with any of the patients who will be visiting (unless the patient wants to speak to them of course). They should not obstruct anyone from visiting the building either. In the same token, I would not object to someone who wanted to mount a dignified protest outside of an animal testing lab.

My belief is, however, that prayers change nothing. If you really want to change the status quo then you need to try and get the laws changed and raise people's awareness of the issues you are against. The best way to do that is in a non-hysterical, factual way and not by screaming fire and brimstone at people.
