Protest that which really kills
This letter is in response to Jacqueline McDonald (“Abortion takes away a choice,” Register-Guard, Feb.1) and I have to say I agree that those mean boys yelling nasty things at you for protesting was not very nice! I’m sure it felt like they were judging you for an isolated character flaw, and they hadn’t even heard your pro-war stance.
Since you do most likely align yourself with some other Judeo-Christian beliefs, I’m positive you raced right home and said a little prayer for those boys. In fact, I’m saying a prayer for you right now! On my yoga mat, I ohm and urge my higher power to kindly show your hypocritical religious ass a good dose of reality!
The reality is, you’ve never been through an agonizing decision if you’ve got the nerve to light a candle and protest someone else’s. Besides, if you’re going to be so fanatical, why don’t you line the driveways of all the SUV drivers (who spill gallons of pollutants into our air each day, killing people who are truly alive) with candles and hymnals? And if you truly care about innocent people losing their lives, why aren’t you protesting the war? Is it because some rich white guy who claims to be godly says it’s for our own good?
Here is a novel idea; try supporting those agencies who are teaching medically accurate sex education, and give up on this lunacy of “abstinence only.” It might save you some candles!
