Roe Day
I had no idea that today was the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I wondered why there was a small group of 'protesters' (10 or so) over by the mall intersection mugging for the tv cameras. We were sitting at the light, making fun of their signs....though since WildChild was with us, we sorta had to temper our remarks.
Prolly the dumbest sign we saw said something like:
"Keep your hands off my body.
PRO-CHILD"
Funny, I said. She looks way too old to be a child.
Mike starting saying something about yelling at her "Lady, trust me. I have no problem keeping my hands off THAT body." But I shushed him before he could.
They were gone when we came back by....not sure if it was because the tv cameras left or because of the wind chill in the teens.
No staying power, our protesters.

I think the sign indicated that she was a professional child... irresponsible, whiney, prone to temper tantrums...

Ah, I get it now. I thought she was about as pro-child as Ted Bundy was pro-woman.
