Hey folks.
So, my main homie Avery Truf-wuf-wuf-elman ’13 just hit me up to get the word out on this thing that’s going down this Thursday and Friday:
[edit: I’ve taken out my preface and switched around the title, because apparently it’s introduced some unnecessary confusion into the nature of the overall initiative. My apologies to the organizers.]

its more than anti-catholic, it is disrespectful to all Christians. Don’t call it a good friday protest unless you are protesting good friday. Take the high road and don’t descend to petty fighting just because the opposition is. Stay home and take away their voice.
Sure, but for one thing, this action is in response to an attack (via disruption of service) on the clinic; i.e. it is a tactical move. For another, showing opposition to these people is important, both for those coming in and out of the clinic and silent-majority types watching.
I kinda want to sympathize and not directly go after Christians, but at the end of the day I know that the world would be better without religion, and that nothing happens to you after you die.
it seems like your making an anti-catholic statement. pro choice does not have to mean anti catholic…
This is mildly anti-catholic.
I prefer the label ‘extremely anti-biblical literalist/inerrancy/infallibility.’
Only if we’re labeling/essentializing, of course.
