Cabaal wrote: » How is the faith even relevant? Why even bring it into the discussion? The BBC article you linked to makes no mention of Jewish-American or Jewish people so why did you bring this into the discussion? It certainly suggests you have a chip on your shoulder against Jewish people, just like you have a massive chip on your shoulder against people of the Muslim faith. Its seems everyone is fine in your book as long as they are all catholic and confirm to your narrowly defined viewpoint.

Please be aware that A+A provides as much freedom as possible to its posterhood, though it's inevitable that this freedom sometimes includes enough for posters to hang themselves.

Cheering, clapping, chanting. I noticed the North Earl Street guy, reminding us that we were all sinners. Well surely he believes in original sin so, like, duh. :pac: Some of the chants and banners were hilarious: "They tried to make me go to England, but I said "No No No!"", "Hail Mary, full of grace, allow to us repeal the eighth!", "Not your pussy, not your problem!", a laminated piece of paper saying "I have an A3 laminator, in your face, anti-choicers!" Way more that I can't remember. Can anyone else remember any?

While you have a number of pro-life atheists such as Hitchens and pro-life humanists, the vast majority are closely connected to conservative religious groups. While correlation is not causation, I think it is a bit of a stretch to consider this coincidental, don't you? It is also worth remembering that atheists don't form a homogeneous group with a common world view, so for any major issue you would expect to find atheists on either side. This is very different to dogmatic religious organisations such as the Catholic church where the position on such issues is decreed by the hierarchy (even though it is increasingly ignored in countries such as Ireland), where pro-life is the party line.

Some-one (presumably not George Soras) funded one of the billboard lorries to let us know that abortion was violence against women. I suppose George might be the Jewish-American paymaster referred to but not named, here earlier.
