Christmas Tree Angers Gym Members

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Three women turned off by a pregnancy counseling service Christmas tree have canceled their memberships at a women-only gym in Kansas.

They quit Body Boutique, in Lawrence, last week after noticing that the tree in the lobby of the gym was decorated with plastic figures meant to represent fetuses.


Here's the rest of the story and the poll.

What I don't understand is why the anti-abortion organization (let's call a spade a spade!) thought this would be a productive way to further their cause. It's just another example of terrorist mentality.

I don't say that lightly, or because terrorism is such a buzzword these days. It genuinely carries, for me, the same feel as an act of terrorism: utterly incomprehensible how the perpetrator thinks anything good will come of their being hurtful to others.

I would call the spade "anti-choice" because they support terrorists who kill physicians, policemen, and cripple nurses in this country (in other countries they do far worse to control their women). They obviously aren't truly "pro-Life".
It was 22% when I visited, but I hope its because they've just got a few people voting over and over again...

*nods*

Very few, if any, "pro-life" organizations are entitled to that name.
