No, protesting is not a bad thing. I think the saying "methinks thou doth protest much" applies here. We make a big stink over everything and concern ourselves with what others are doing.....and then there is someone protesting us and what we do.
If we took the time to take care of our own issues before we concerned ourselves with that of others, we may be better off.

So it is ok to repress the female and her freedoms by controlling her own body? Because that is what people want whom want abortion illegal.

It's one thing to protest against government action that intrudes on our rights or privacy, etc. This has a direct effect on your life.
It's QUITE another to protest (harass, threaten, injure and kill) regular citizens who are living their lives and NOT having any effect on yours. They're just making personal choices about their OWN lives.
If people would just mind their own business, make choices for THEMSELVES and stop trying to force their personal beliefs on everyone else, this world would be a better place.

I would like the law that allows people to murder unborn children abolished.
People have the right to freely express themselves.
Or they don't.
You don't think free expression should be allowed?

So you're justifying an inhibition to free expression simply because you disagree with it.

I tend to think allowing others to infringe on another person's right to go about their personal activities unmolested is not promoting free speech. More like a free-for-all brawl.
But, if this is how it's to be, let's be sure to tear down all of the "no soliciting" and "no panhandling" signs, especially the last because the SC has already ruled money is speech so asking for it shouldn't be so bad, right?

You are always on about freedoms but want to repress women and their own bodies...hypocrisy nothing more.

No, I'm not. I don't believe in free speech zones. But when it becomes more than protesting and turns into harassment, then I do have a problem. And MANY protestors at abortion clinics qualify as harassment and molestation.
Also, if they're going to take away SOME protest zones, then they should do the same to them all.

I think we agree Beezzer. People should have the right to protest.....regardless of what they are protesting.
I am personally making the statement that while we have that right, some of us need to quit being hypocritical and mind our own damned business.
It's that simple.
