Why you should care what Operation Rescue does in Jackson Mississippi this July.

by blackeye1776
The religious right is increasing it's attacks on the rights of others all over the country, whether it's the anti-gay marriage ammendment or the right of a raped woman or girl to obtain an abortion.

from Operation Rescue's website:
"The Gentle Revolution is making its way toward Jackson, Mississippi, this year, July 15-22, 2006. Pro-life leaders from across our nation will be joining us at the “last abortion mill ” in the state of Mississippi. We will be storming the gates of hell in the strong Name of Jesus Christ. Little did any of us know, as we ran to the roar to help those devastated by Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi and Louisiana, that God was preparing us to return to Mississippi to deal with an even more deadly foe – Abortion!"Th

No pun intended. Wow. That is some scary shit

As the shirt says, "some issues are just black and white". These people are the ones who supported clinic bombing back in the early days. Our own terrorists!

Check out the "store" on their website:

These freaks are true nutcases--fundi loonies. Dubya probably loves 'em.
by dangerous loonies.

The point isn't whether they are loonies or not. They are dangerous. They were 100% in support of the murderer who shot clinic doctor Bernard Slepian.

Their people are coming from across the country ( 7/15-7/22) to force women who are walking into the Jackson Women's Health Clinic (yes, the last abortion provider in the state of Mississippi) to listen to their harassment. After they leave, another group of fundies will be coming the following week. If you were a rape victim would you want to listen to that? These people don't even believe in the use of contraceptives, considering it IMMORAL.

More proof that the Bible is not to be taken literally (Unless of course you're a right wing extremist from Operation Rescue.) A bible quiz on the role of women:
http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0301/roleofwomen.html

a sample...
6. How long is a woman unclean after the messy act of childbirth?
Correct answer: D. (The woman is unclean for seven days if the child is a boy, but she is unclean for twice as long if the child is a girl)

10. In times of war, what is God's plight for women in the captured areas?
Correct Answer: D. (While the men are to be killed, the women are to be taken as slaves. Pretty women are to become the wives of conquering men who find them attractive. Women in places the Lord gives His chosen people as an inheritance are to be killed along with every other living thing)


I thought the answers were made up until I looked the verse up on a bible website:
