Ow. My brain.

(facepalm)

[trumad]

1. Nice pants...and nice dress.

[givemebackmycountry]

2. Florida Will. Florida.

How did I ever wind up in this freaking state?
(face-palm indeed)

[charlie and algernon]

3. wait... what?

does not compute....

They HAVE to be fucking with the pro-lifers. There's just no way people can be that fucking stupid. :banghead:

[Harmony Blue]

16. This is Florida

*sigh* Every morning I wake up and walk out that door it feels like a an adventure out in the ole' Wild West.

[polmaven]

20. Those are NOT

"pro-lifers". They ARE anti-choicers. There is a difference. These fools are advocating for the DEATH of women. That is not pro-life!

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Good

God!

Is it possible, dimly, remotely, that the one with the "Kill Women Not Babies" sign is trying to satirize the protest?


No.


I didn't think so either.

[trumad]

5. Quick question...

What if the baby is a woman?

[unblock]

12. unless you're talking tribbles, this is biologically impossible.

babies can be girls, but not yet women.

[Art_from_Ark]

70. But then again, just about every love song written in the '60s

refers to that special woman as "Baby"

[butterfly77]

25. Is that a priest?

If so I guess he wants to kill the woman because pedophiles love children...

[mod mom]

26. Yes, Will Pitt, what the dude in the black long garment a priest?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

60. Either that or Neo (Matrix) wannabe.

[seabeyond]

6. wow. definition of pro LIFE. wow. nt

[liberal N proud]

7. They call themselves Right to Life Supporters

Geesh!

[mopinko]

8. at least they finally admit it.

we've been trying to explain to them what we think they really mean for a long, long, long time.

[pipi_k]

9. They are seriously irony-deficient... n/t

[Mira]

10. This is reducing me to silent but rolling tears. And not from laughing. K&R

[City Lights]

11. Gotta luv that "pro-life" crowd.

Double dose of :crazy:.

[JHB]

13. You sure this is for real?

Obviously they're there. I mean, are they actually advocating what's on their signs, or could this be a "Billionaires for Bush"-style reverse-protest theater?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Facepalm indeed.

Dare we hope this is satire?

I hardly think so, though...

My. God.

[LeftishBrit]

15. This is so over-the-top, I hope it's a satire.

[CrispyQ]

17. These people make me ill. -nt

[truebrit71]

18. My, my, how xtian of them...

:rollseyes:

I have spent a total of 72 hours in FLA and have to say it had the strangest vibe to it...

[TK421]

53. you don't know the half of it..and be glad you don't n/t

[tblue]

19. Sharia law?

If it's good enough for Saudi Arabia and Iran, it's good enough for us?

[Iggo]

21. I gotta call Poe on this one.

No way to know for sure.

[Gin]

24. the one holding the "kill women not babies" looks like a priest...

I am speechless!

[TeeYiYi]

22. Is there a white collar connected to that black smock? ...

...Father? ...Pat?

TYY :shrug:

[Aerows]

23. And this is what the "Pro-life" movement is all about

Subjugation of women. If they end abortion, the next thing they will go for is birth control. Do you honestly think this was ever about abortion? It's NEVER been about abortion. It's about the erosion of women's rights.

Misguided women buy the idea that it's about "abortion" but for many of them, it's about sex. They don't realize that they are getting played by the age-old patriarchy of religion that says that men are more valuable than women.

[davsand]

27. Can I point out that not ONE of them looks like they are capable of getting pregnant?

Seems to me you can afford to be a whole lot more cavalier about an unchosen pregnancy if you know you'll never be facing one.

Do ya reckon any of then would be willing to DIE to protect that clump of cells they are so passionate about?

Gawd, I oughtta know better than to even look at this kind of shit from old fuckers that have nothing at stake in the discussion.


:puke:

[defendandprotect]

28. Fanatical Fertilized Egg Syndrome -- letting women die is no problem for them -- !!

[lapislzi]

29. Looking for "Onion" tag. Not finding.

The irony, it burns.

[Gregorian]

30. But but but, if you kill the women, where will babby come from?

The logic, it burns.

[DirkGently]

31. "Kill women, not babies?" Wow. Honest as to the core viewpoint at least.

[ceile]

32. Oh.My.God.

I have seen some awful, hateful, misogynistic things before, but this is just too much. I feel ill.

[spanone]

33. what a kind, humane nation...we could have been

[Fire Walk With Me]

34. That has to be one of us mocking the rest. It has to be.

Please tell me it's one of us mocking the others.

[Brigid]

35. I call BS.

I don't know where this photo came from, but to me it is obvious that this is satire. The signs are just waay over the top. And the "priest?" No genuine priest would advocate killing women -- not unless he wanted to be kicked out of the priesthood real quick. Not even right-wing priests like Wade Mendez and Frank Pavone advocate what is on those signs. And take a good look at how he is dressed: At the risk of sounding like Elle Woods, a Catholic priest doesn't wear a black cassock, even while saying Mass. That garment is for altar servers, and a white surplice is worn over it. A real priest would wear black pants, a black shirt with a Roman collar, and perhaps a black suit jacket. He wears vestments over that for Mass. And he certainly wouldn't wear brown suede shoes. Let go of the pearls, folks -- these people are merely satirizing the pro-life movement taken to its logical extreme, "Onion"-style.

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. Death Penalty for anyone wearing turquoise pants and shoes. Kill women???? How sweet.

Fucking Hypocrites.

[LeftinOH]

37. The image at the far right side of that picture is a keeper. Crop it and

use it to remember what the anti-choice crowd is all about.

[barbtries]

38. is that a priest standing there?

wtf?

[progressoid]

39. I think he just came from a Matrix convention.

[Little Star]

40. A+ for their honesty, sad to say. k&r

[Warren DeMontague]

41. Are you surprised? I'm not.

These people won't be happy until they can put everyone who fucks for fun to death.

[JuniperLea]

42. They hold up signs to prove their own stupidity and hypocrisy...

How nice of them to do all the heavy lifting for us!

Idiots.

[tawadi]

43. "Kill Women not Babies"?

:wtf:

[pinboy3niner]

44. HEADON! Apply directly to the forehead!

Make it the Family Size, Extra Strength.

Actually, the signs are so outrageous that it's hard to believe the 'pro-lifers' aren't being pranked here.

[Remember Me]

45. This type of "demonstration" and these signs at least prove one thing

that the whole, entire anti-abortion argument is built firmly on a foundation of the rankest misogyny.

Most of the time it's dressed up in camouflage -- "right to life" or concern about the unborn "child" and other self-deceptions -- but at base it's rank misogyny and NOTHING else. Always was, always will be.

And yes, of course women can be misogynists. and many are. We have a society that teaches its members to hate and despise, discount and minimize women and women's concerns (including their children, except when viewed as property), women are not immune from those teachings!! In fact, the whole point of all those "consciousness-raising" groups and events so many years ago (and desperately needed again / still) was to shake women loose from their conditioning so they could SEE how society worked against them and taught them to work against one another, themselves, and their entire sex.

[TeamsterDem]

46. Absolutely horrifying and disgusting that there are really people like that out there. nt

[lindysalsagal]

47. I don't know if it's real, but I also found this on there...

I thought this comment for the abortion pic was sick and funny:
"Turn the wheels to the right and FLOOR IT!!! "

All of the comments on the hosting site took it seriously. :shrug:

[tblue37]

48. I don't see a link. Is there one? nt

[mmonk]

49. Photo shop?

[Chorophyll]

50. I'm reasonably sure that the guy on the right, wearing the cassock,

is mocking the other protesters.

Could be wishful thinking, of course.

[JoeyT]

51. With this many recs and comments, someone should have

turned up proof this is satire by now.

Please tell me this is satire.

[femrap]

52. Reminds me of those

6 million women who were burned at the stake....they wanted freedom and probably got uppity.

[Sportsguy]

54. No Shit (nt)

[TK421]

55. Oh, its Florida...nothing to see here,move along, move along n/t

[The Doctor.]

56. One of the local rock stations has an afternoon show where they do a segment;

'Shredd + Reagan' read a blotter or news story from one of three states while omitting any clues that might give the state away. Then people call in to guess whether the story occurred in Ohio, Texas, or Florida.

Some of the incidents are beyond stupid.

This here is definitely a reason to stay the hell out of Florida.

[lindysalsagal]

57. I say we sell florida to cuba and be done with it. n/t.

[Sheepshank]

58. no way this is a pro life sign...no way, right? n/t

[Sheepshank]

59. BTW..almost positive this is the same woman that holds up the "I'm tea bagging for Jesus" sign n/t

[mmonk]

65. I was unaware Jesus was into that kind of thing.

[enuegii]

61. I have to agree with a couple of posters up-thread...

the guy (I guess) in the black is pranking the loons. Notice how the other two you can see are looking at the passing cars, while he is looking at them like he's getting ready to beat feet when they get wise to him-- if they ever do.

New state motto: Florida: making Alabama look almost sane.

[blkmusclmachine]

62. The only "life" these idiots care about is the one between conception & birth:

And everyone else can go get bent.

[NYC Liberal]

63. I think the Death Penalty sign is serious, but the Kill Women sign is satirical.

Seems like the guy is mocking the death penalty sign by saying what it really means.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

64. Every year at this time my local church places about 50 white crosses on their lawn...

...to symbolize aborted babies. It's kind of creepy.

[Cherchez la Femme]

66. I think that pers... thing wearing a 'dress' is a priest

y'know -- of the 'Thou shalt not kill' variety

[flvegan]

67. Sorry, I can normally comprehend the stupid that they do, but in this case...

I just can't.

"Too stupid to even have a point" is a new low, at least to me.

[Kablooie]

68. The party of death speaks again.

[Major Hogwash]

69. Was this outside of a church or what?

Those are some really odd signs, man.
