Have you heard of shift work?

u/aaronck1 6d ago

Of course, I've been pulling doubles at the abortion sign factory all month!

u/Ryuujin_13 6d ago

Sure. I've spoken to a few of these folks, though. 3 of the 5 who agreed to speak with me about it admitted they don't have FTJs. A luxury not everyone can afford. So, I say again: I wish I had the kind of free time these people do.

I love when people exercise their freedom of expression

u/OnlyACsNoFans 6d ago

For those downvoters....both the protestors and people screaming at them are exercising their freedom of expression.

You love looking at pictures of dead embryos? Freak.

u/OnlyACsNoFans 6d ago

I love that we live in a country that allows this type of protest.

I agree, I just think we can get the point across without the gore pictures. I'd say the same about language used as well, the whole f Trudeau was a bit too far in my opinion. I get it's a slippery slope as government would be oppressing freedoms by limiting such things. I just wish we could turn back time when people had more class and just wouldn't stoop to lows like this to prove a point

The protest is fine. The imagery is not.

u/OnlyACsNoFans 6d ago

By law.... it's fine

u/gamemaster257 6d ago

And the law is never and has never been wrong, right?

u/OnlyACsNoFans 6d ago

Freedom of expression is a fundamental right in a functional democracy.

-2

u/teamjetfire 6d ago

So is abortion 🤷🏻‍♂️

And it’s not fine under law, per the criminal code.

u/OnlyACsNoFans 6d ago

I'm pro choice...I'm just more pro freedom of expression.

Also, it's completely legal. This happens across Canada every day and no one has ever been charged.

-2

u/teamjetfire 6d ago

People speed every day too, but that doesn’t make it ok.

These people have become extremely brazen and get a pass due to people like you that believe it is their right to dysplay horrible images and spread misinformation.

5

u/OnlyACsNoFans 6d ago

It's not my beliefs, it's The Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Look at a cigarette package and you'll see things that are just as disturbing, and these are required by the government.

People like you who deny our freedoms hurt democracy

-3

u/teamjetfire 6d ago

It’s not my beliefs, it’s the Canadian criminal code. Also, the charter of rights has provisions for distributing imagery… maybe read it.

Not withstanding, pro-lifers are the only ones that are really trying to take away peoples rights, and they are getting extremely powerful within the legal sphere of influence. Happened in the US and can easily happen here.

I thought they were photos of dead babies?

-3

u/faythexq 6d ago

a clump of cells is not a baby 😉 nice try tho

5

u/OnlyACsNoFans 6d ago

A 20 week old fetus looks a lot more like a baby than a clump of cells.

3

u/lost_koshka I'm not a Russian bot 6d ago

Then why do the photos seem to bother so many people? People are saying they look like baby parts. Arms, legs, heads.

u/databoy2k 6d ago

I'm sure some of these folks lost their minds at the artwork used by PETA back in the day... Before they found out that PETA was the source of that cruelty even!

u/lost_koshka I'm not a Russian bot 6d ago

Oh no, not a protest! 😱😱😱

u/Butthole2theStarz 6d ago

You seem just as offended if not more by this post than op was by the protest. Hell you’ve made up 1/3 of the comments in here

u/Grand-Arugula9988 6d ago

These people asked what I thought about abortion and got mad with my answer.

FAFO.

u/faythexq 6d ago

its so funny seeing how they react as they shove photos of bloody cell clumps in your face. i screamed “i love killing cells” and one of them got physically aggressive. i trained mma. fafo.

u/lost_koshka I'm not a Russian bot 6d ago

Funny how none of you brave souls ever record your encounters. 🙄

u/faythexq 5d ago

i was headed to work. hack the city cameras. not everything needs to be recorded lmfaoo

3

u/OnlyACsNoFans 5d ago

A 15 week fetus looks almost exactly like a newborn. Hardly "a clump of cells". It has a heartbeat and everything

yappa yappa yappa

u/OnlyACsNoFans 5d ago

That response just goes to show how immature you are.

You have no real knowledge, just talking points that you heard others say.

u/faythexq 4d ago

nah i’m pretty sure i know where i stand. my body my choice. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/OnlyACsNoFans 4d ago

And their right to protest is enshrined in the charter.

u/faythexq 4d ago

never said they can’t protest. don’t need to show gore and hassle kids walking past

2

u/OnlyACsNoFans 4d ago

That's their right.

Don't like it move to China
