She said that there wasn’t a woman on their block that didn’t know where to go to get an abortion.

My father also grew up on Chicago, the only child of a second marriage. My grandfather’s first wife died of a botched illegal abortion in 1919 at the age of 25, leaving behind four children under the age of five. My grandfather had to temporarily put his children into an orphanage until he could scare up another wife.

That’s why I hate these so-called “pro-life” people. They either have no idea of the misery they leave in their wake, or don’t give a rat’s ass.

It is kinda funny to watch Patriot Front annoy the RTL assholes.




They so deserve one another. Ugh.

Dressed all alike and covering their faces so no one can identify them, riding in vehicles with taped over license plates.... what are you morans so afraid of?

Every time I've marched for something I believe in, I've been proud to show my face to the world.
There's no reason to hide your identity unless you're doing something you're ashamed of, planning to break the law, or just plain cowardly. The way they backed off and fled the loop while the protest was still going on told me everything I need to know about them.

If you need to march around in a crowd of people all dressed the same with faces covered to feel like a big, tough guy, you are definitely lacking in something. No courage, no brains, and definitely no heart. What a pathetic bunch of losers!

And we’ve got these little sleds with tape on them to carry around like shields. We’ll be cute as fuck. I forget who did that routine but it was really funny
