Abortion opponents take part in Life Chain demonstration
Source: Omaha World-Herald
Sundays chilly, damp weather dragged attendance down slightly at Omahas annual Life Chain demonstration.
About 1,000 people dotted Dodge Street between 60th and 90th Streets to witness against abortion, organizer Patrick Eberly said. They held signs with messages such as Abortion Kills Children, Adoption The Loving Option and Abortion Hurts Women.
The attendance number is a rough estimate, Eberly said, because no one went along the demonstration line to count, as in previous years.
Last year organizers counted about 1,200 people.

They have to find another 'victim' that will never have enough of a personality to talk back and disagree - the fetus.
So many will support abortion in the case of rape or incest - which tells you that the Mother's wish to have sex at the time of conception is what makes the fetus a victim.

(11,014 posts)No one should have a right to protest against abortion unless and until
a) they have actually given birth to and helped grow a successful adult
or
b) they have adopted a child themselves
All others should STFU.

War is a public issue whereas abortion is a personal one.

(235 posts)At a personal level, less than .4% of the US public has experienced war. I wonder how that compares to the percentage of folks that have had abortions.

(32,640 posts)I don't care if there is a waiting list for adoptable children - that's still no justification for forced childbearing.
My question of them is: "If someone else wanting that child is reason enough to a woman or girl to give birth, then when will we see PLs volunteering in droves to be surrogates for other people? "
