Lunatic Groups Plan Vigils At Dem Convention
DENVER (AP) ― Anti-abortion groups say they plan several prayer vigils during the Democratic National Convention to protest what they call Sen. Barack Obama's "radical" views on the issue.

The groups said Wednesday their main event will be encircling the convention site with up to 1,000 demonstrators who will kneel and pray for an end to abortions. They plan to leave roses on the sidewalk outside the arena.

The convention will be held at the Pepsi Center from Aug. 25 to Aug. 28.

Two anti-abortion groups had threatened to sue the city over what they believed was a holdup in issuing protest permits. They backed off after Denver officials said permits would be awarded in March.

1. Why don't they pray for and end to the war in Iraq, or for the lack of health care for children..
or for better education for children, or for ANY of the things that children really NEED and SAVE LIES rather than this shit?
Fucking hypocrites.

6. Because they want the authority to tell you what to do.
Providing education and other needs comes under the category of accountability. They don't want to take that from you.

10. Yeah, they want my life to be governed by their version of Christianity.
MY Bible says 'render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's'
