Tell me, though... you were only kidding about the menstruation is murder signs, right?
I have yet to see signs. I have, however, heard that opinion expressed by some of the real raving loonies on that side of the argument. I have in the past, given serious consideration to loudly espousing that view in the hopes that it might shake some of the less loony loonies off of the tree.
Just like it's really difficult for people with minor prejudices against gay people to stand next to Phelps, I'd hope that it would be really difficult for people of conscience and reason who happen to be on the other side of the abortion issue from me to stand next to me and my menstruation sign.
If the gods don't provide the heroes and villains, sometimes you gotta invent 'em.
