Anti-choice nutters to protest legal contraception

Contraception has been legal for 50 years, which provides enough reason for those against it to protest.

The Pro-Life Wisconsin group sent out an email Tuesday to members promoting its annual “prayer vigils at local birth control centers” lamenting the June 7, 1965, ruling in theGriswold v. Connecticut case, reported Right Wing Watch.

The ruling struck down laws prohibiting married women from accessing birth control — which some Catholics and other religious conservatives believe cause abortions.

“The landmark Griswold decision paved the way for abortion on demand in America by legalizing contraception and defining the so-called ‘right to privacy’ upon which the 1973 Roe v. Wadedecision was based,” the group said in its email.

Pro-Life Wisconsin, which brags that its opposition to “all forms of birth control” is more hardline than the state’s National Right to Life Committee, is pushing for a fetal “personhood” amendment to the Wisconsin constitution.

    So if a fetus is a person, everyone’s birth certificate will record the date of conception, right? Which can’t be calculated with any precision. This kind of stupid amendment might actually pass in one of the stupid states. Save us from single-minded fanatics.

      If person hood passes, can we arrest a pregnant women who gets on an elevator posted “capacity 10 people” with nine other people? Reckless endangerment!

      How about if she has a glass of wine? Contributing to the delinquency of a minor!

      What if she has a miscarriage? Involuntary manslaughter at minimum!

      What if she’s driving? Failure to properly secure a child!

      No amusement park rides for her! “You must be this tall to ride.”

        NICE One!

        Sadly, there are probably a lot of folks who would read that list and think

        ‘Yea! Wimmin shouldn’t be ridin elevators w/ men-folk no how, or drinking, or driving, or wastin time at so called ‘amusement’ parks when they should be in church! And a ‘miscarriage’, well if we don’t outlaw ’em wimmin will just use ’em as excuses for their coat hanger abortions – though the husband should have the right to decide whether to punish his wife for miscarryin.

        And no. I don’t think the above is an exaggeration, or amusing.

          Sharia law. Since men wrote the book, they get to make the rules.

          Oh, so you’ve been to my hometown….

        when the Puritans got here, they had a law that any women who had a miscarriage had to have the results inspected by the men at the top to determine if a fetus had been aborted or not. Which resulted in women being fearful to let anybody know they were pregnant for fear there would be a lose of the child. People would bury the remains in their back yards of some place away from home while hunting for berries….and decades later as the colony expanded, human remains might turn up.

        In the days of the Pharaohs, women would pack their insides with crocodile dung in order to prevent pregnancy. THAT just makes me sick to think about it.

      Hey, don’t talk about Missouri that way! (hangs head in shame)

      • Larry Schmitt June 1st, 2016 at 19:10

        Don’t take it personally. I grew up in Arizona, and now live in Virginia. They can both be great places to live, but both have been responsible for some really stupid sh*t.

      • clemans June 2nd, 2016 at 15:17

        my home state is Iowa, home of “the jonie”….maybe I can blame Missouri? Maybe ‘it” spreads? smiles

      And teenagers would be eligible for a drivers license 9 months earlier. You could apply for Social Security earlier.

    • granpa.usthai June 1st, 2016 at 23:06

      is it going to be considered fetal abuse if they’re kept in a dark wet environment for 9 months?

      I mean, you keep a rug ra-ah uh lovely grandchi-chi-um, KID locked up in a dark wet environment for just a couple months and kons go krazy! – call it child abuse, endangerment, etc. etc.,

      how do you get christmas cash to fetuses – and how the heck can they spend it?

    • clemans June 2nd, 2016 at 15:14

      figure out how to save us…..quickly please.

    Do these dolts even know what hormones are? And why mammals have them?

  3. nola878 June 1st, 2016 at 14:08

    Let’s poll all these idiots that are protesting. How many have adopted children? Fostered children? Mentored children?

    I’l bet somewhere between zero and none.

    • Bunya June 1st, 2016 at 17:06

      Of course not. They have no time to foster or adopt children. That will leave them no time to bitch and moan about their taxes going to fund SCHIP and welfare queens.

    • Snick1946 June 2nd, 2016 at 11:04

      Case in point- I have friends who are very anti abortion. They did adopt, but- it was a private adoption, they go a blonde blue eyed kid. Never apparently considered adding another child from say a minority group. Most of these people are like this; in denial about their prejudices.

    • clemans June 2nd, 2016 at 15:12

      bet that is a good thing they don’t adopt….less BS being forced onto children.

      I had a friend who became religious over the years and drove me crazy with all the stupid emails about it. She would complain about how immoral all the unwed mothers were. And one time she was on about abortion. She said it was wrong because “god had a plan for every life created…….so I told her that she should then go thank all of the unwed mothers because it was hard being single, pregnant, and often low income, unstable environment, and more difficult to parent under all those circumstances……and these poor woman were doing god’s work to bring these lives he had plans for into the world against all of those odds…..just like Mary. That she should be angry at the absent fathers who didn’t do their part and marry the mothers…..before they were mothers. Don’t blame the women for god having a purpose for the infant she wasn’t aborting.

      She wasn’t sure where I was wrong, she was sure that was a reason I was wrong….but at least she stopped sending me all that religious crap and accepted I was an atheist.

    And let us never forget..

    • TiredOldGuy June 1st, 2016 at 14:35

      One of your all time best!

    • clemans June 2nd, 2016 at 15:03

      please, for the sake of sexual victims everywhere…..don’t forget that the family blamed their sleeping daughters for his actions……victims need to know that others know differently and recognize this kind of abuse is not their fault.

  5. Maxx44 June 1st, 2016 at 16:25

    They say birth control causes abortions, but fail to tell us what they’re taking that is destroying their brain cells.

  6. William June 1st, 2016 at 21:13

    Conservatives prefer a more traditional approach to birth control. Like sweater vests, crocs and mullets.
