Abortion Protestors target wrong house

[WoodrowFan]

Parents of a newborn were erroneously targeted Wednesday by about 50 abortion protesters who raised posters of mutilated fetuses and called "Evil dwells here" through a bullhorn.

The problem is they had the wrong house, said Tricia Lehra, who was on the receiving end. The group apparently thought Lehra's Washington Road home belonged to a doctor who performs abortions. Lehra, who has a 2-month-old daughter, is a Shenendehowa Central Schools counselor; her husband, August, is an electrical engineer.

"I heard them yelling, 'A murderer lives on your street,' " said Brian Whitter, who lives up the block from the Lehras and was getting ready for work when he saw the parade shortly after 2 p.m. "They were shouting about homosexuals. It was really offensive."

1. I hope two things happened.

1. These loudmouthed assholes profusely apologized.

2. They got their collective asses busted by the authorities.

2. Do the Lehra's have any legal recourse?

It would be nice to see these protestors, who have the right to their views, be punished. If they are going to do protests, at least do it right.

3. Typical pro-life, no-choice repugs

The poor people are lucky the dimwits didn't torch their house or blow up their car.

What I can't figure out is the homeosexual references. So, gays are somehow contributing to the all-encompassing nightmare of illegal abortion that drives these demonic sociopaths?

4. Unbelievable.

You just keep thinking these assholes can't get any worse, and yet they do.

Let me apologize once again for Texans everywhere that Flip Benham has now been foisted on the rest of the USA instead of just being an ass locally.

5. this could have been very funny in Dallas

there are over 40 gay couple homeowners in my "neighborhood". It would probably have been more scandalous if they had started screaming that there was a heterosexual couple living on the street.

NO! Oh my god, all these years and we never knew! There goes the neighborhood!

Silly right wing freaks. Get a life of your own. Then go live it.

6. I would imagine that

yelling in a bullhorn in a residential neighboorhood violates any noise ordinances that city may have.

7. Fundies are lucky they weren't staring at the business end of a 12 guage.

8. And it's not right for us to talk to delegates?

Yeah right. These fuckers are getting what they deserve.
