So today there were pro-life demonstrators on the campus mall. They weren’t just pleasant demonstrators that stated their point and made sense… instead they were angry-as-hell Christian fundamentalists that were yelling at every student who happened to walk by (“This country has to RETURN to JESUS”). Anyway, I was thoroughly disturbed by them for several reasons. First of all, they thought that college students, who in general tend to be pretty liberal, would appreciate their demonstration which included pictures of dismembered fetuses and guitar playing, as they held up their bibles defiantly telling us we were all godless heathens. Later, they apparently broke into song, which turned out to have nothing to do with abortion whatsoever, as it was titled “It’s not Okay to be Gay”. I’m also pissed off because they were all male Christian fundamentalists… I suppose I have to admit that it’s unfair to say that men cannot state their opinions about abortion, because I guess everyone technically has the right to stand in the middle of a campus and piss and moan about godless women, but I can’t say that I agree with them. I honestly think that abortion is a woman’s choice, and because a man does not have to go through 9 months of pregnancy and all the physical and emotional pain that goes with it, he should never have the final say about such a thing. And I also disagree with bible-wielding men who insist on telling the women around them that they are godless, when it’s not their bodies that are in question. Again, not that men can’t have opinions, but I’m definitely pro-choice…
Anyway, I suppose that was ridiculously random, because I tend to not actually post rants about my opinions, but extreme Christians piss me off, and apparently every other EC student on lower campus today. I think that’s it.
