Well, I hear women couldn't vote in the country for the first 143 years or so, because the men who voted didn't like that idea. So it goes to show, majority rule don't mean it's right.

Joel, at first I misread your comment "your kind is headed their way," to mean I was headed towards the aforementioned *lesbians* -- a profoundly disturbing thought that caused me to claw at my eye sockets like Oedipus. Then I realized you were referring to DINOSAURS, which was a much more comforting thought. Sorry we missed one another today at the Walk for Life. Don't know if you were there; I was marching with the 30,000+ folks who crammed into Justin Herman Plaza, stretched in a line 10-across for almost two miles, and basically shut down the Embarcadero and Fisherman's Wharf before partying at Marina Greens. Perhaps we'll meet up next year. There should be plenty of space available for you, if you don't mind mingling with lasses who think that "protest" means "no deodorant".

Who said anything about class? They're just acting that way to get under your uptight misogynistic skin, asshole. You're a dinosaur, and your kind is headed their way; that really grinds your gears, doesn't it?

Re: the picture -- nothing says "class" like a group of raving, clip-faced, chop-haired, half-naked lesbians. See y'all tomorrow, er... ladies.

So if you won't correct the first line of the post, perhaps you should revise the first line of the second paragraph to read: "In this corner we have the misogyny enthusiast's . . ." -just to balance the flippancy?

I've protested against the anti choice people for the last 5 years. It attracts all types and if this woman gives up her Saturday morning to take a stand, more power to her. What annoys me every year is why does SF grant these people a permit to walk from the Ferry Building into Fishermans Wharf and through to Marina Green on a Saturday morning. They block off most of the street and I've never seen any other group allowed to use that area of the city.

While reproductive rights are not one of my top priorities personally, I would like to see abortion stay legal.

I agree. "Abortion enthusiast" is extremely misleading and is just flat-out wrong. It's a term straight out of the anti-choice crowd's playbook. I expect better of you Brock, but since you're a guy, hey, I guess it really doesn't matter that much to you, does it?

If pro-choice activism requires public semi-nudity and looking as dirty and unkempt as this female, count me out.

I love how her pants are all engrossed in dirt and she's smoking a cigarette, too. Laughing makes me smile.

I very enthusiastically support a woman's freedom of choice. Reproductive rights means everything to a free democratic society. . . with all due respect.

Oh come on, Brock. Who is enthused that she is going to have, or has had, an abortion?

Brock Keeling

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:09:04 -0800

No. And with all due respect, you should know better."CHOICE enthusiast?" That doesn't even mean anything. If you can't admit what it is, then you've lost the battle. Period.

I hope you will correct the first line of this post to "CHOICE enthusiast?" or "Reproductive rights enthusiast?"

Are there dress codes for protests now? themed costumes only?

Confused: how does shirtless + electrical tape over the nips illustrate a devoutness for reproductive freedom?
