And it seems that about 3 times a week there is a pack of 10 or so college age people standing out side quietly protesting. All of them wearing the same obnoxious t-shirt with anti-abortion rhetoric and wearing tape over their mouths acting like they were the “baby” that was killed. All quietly standing next to their BMW’s and Jags saying that you’re a bad person and should be prisoned for murder.

My initial thought was, what the hell don’t these children have anything better to do?!

But the more I thought about it the more it pissed me off. And now all I can think is; how dare they?!

These kids are actually protesting the actions of people who are in very hard situations; situations that they themselves have NEVER been in. More than half of the protesters were men!

You’ve never been pregnant while standing between a rock and a hard place.. Yet you have the raw audacity to stand there and judge a persons action, when you yourself haven’t had to make that choice?! Fuck you!

They say that “adoption” is an option, yet none of them are familiar with the process or the foster care system. More over, all of them are out there saying you should do something that they themselves aren’t willing to do! I assure you, none of those twenty-something’s have adopted a child. A painfully clear case of “do what I say, not what I do.”

At the end of the day, or whenever they get tired – these kids all get back in their BMW’s and jags that mommy and daddy are paying for and drive home. They haven’t a clue what others are going through or how hard their lives could be.

I seriously don’t understand people.. Why do people think they have a right to judge the actions of others, especially when they haven’t had to make those decisions themselves? I mean it’s very easy to stand back and armchair the world.. but when you actually live it life gets a little more complex. Most of those decisions are very hard, and not easily made.

People making those decisions sure as hell don’t need some snot nosed juvenile barely off their mothers tit to cast their trained opinions at them..

Ultimately it comes down to this;

1. You don’t get to tell others what to do..
2. You shouldn’t get to pressure people into doing what you want them to either..
3. And you certainly don’t get to judge people who make actions contrary to your beliefs, especially when you yourself haven’t lived this situation.
