Not even the Olympics is free from the pro-lifers

[SugaryStrawberry]

Yesterday me and my fiance went into the city centre to watch the Olympic torch come through into Plymouth. It's a once in a lifetime thing to see so I had to take advantage of it, what I wasn't expecting however is to have a leaflet shoved into my hand about holding a torch up for the "murdered children". Needless to say said leaflet made it way quickly to the bin.

Luckily many people shared my opinion, some immediately throwing it on the floor as soon as the read it, others ripping it to pieces and others hurling abuse at them.

Why do they feel the need to do this? Bring a happy and to many an exciting event into a protest?

Either way the reactions of many people made me calm down, it seems Plymouth is not a good place to be pro-life.

I've always believed that there is a time and place for everything. As citizens of the United States, we have the right to speak our minds and let out opinions be known. At the same time, one should realize when it is appropriate to do so. The Olympics is not the time nor the place. Exactly what made the person you describe turn it into a protest on abortion I don't know, but the two aren't even related.

I'm pretty sure pro-lifers can shoehorn ANY event to fit their needs. XD 4th of July? "America's babies are not free they are being aborted so look at this disgusting picture of a stillborn and weeeeep!" Isaac Asimov's birthday? "Androids dream of sheep but billions of murdered babies will never dream or learn the 3 laws of robotics!"
