No it isn’t, it’s a more civilized country which defeated an attempt to legalize abortion three years ago.
And somehow this is supposed to justify what happens in the U.S., I guess.
What do you think are the legal consequences of expressing the belief that abortion is murder?

Possible election to Congress? 
Nice anecdote. Got a half-million more just like it?
I guess I’m okay with the right of protesters to be close enough to be annoying (though not harassing or assaultive) but the disingenuity on their part is amusing.
How can you tell if someone is walking into a build to get an abortion? Do you ever feel guilty about yelling at the wrong terrified young woman?
I’ve never been at an abortion protest, so there’s nothing (in this area) for me to feel guilty about.
Can you tell the difference between saying that you think abortion is murder, and publicly stating that someone has committed homicide?
No, it’s supposed to demonstrate that some people are perfectly happy to defend disorderly protest tactics that shut down daily life when they support their pet causes, but not when they oppose them.
We don’t?
How many millions of dollars do we spend each year just on breast cancer research?
I guess this lack of personal knowledge allows you to made unfounded suppositions about what goes on at these protests.
You mean like how you support abortion protests, but don’t support funeral protests
A woman making a decision about her health care can be presumed to be ignorant and up to no good.
And it fails to demonstrate that because those protests are taking place in other countries regarding other issues. However it does suggest you’re trying to tag people as hypocrites because you can’t make a strong case.
I’m sure that if yelling at women and spitting on them were a one off thing, we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now.
I think you’re being disingenuous if you’re trying to compare violence among pro-lifers against violence among pro-choicers.
Just for laughs, and to get some use out of those statistics classes I took long ago:
If there’s a 1% chance that a woman is going to a clinic to terminate a pregnancy resulting from rape, someone who has yelled at 69 women has a better-than-half chance of having yelled at a rape victim.
Of course, not every woman going to the clinic is there for an abortion, so let’s speculate that for every 200 women who go to the clinic, 100 are there for non-abortion services, 99 are there for non-rape abortions and 1 is there for a rape-caused abortion, bringing the rate back to the originally-given 0.5%. If a protester has yelled at 139 women, the odds are better than 50% one of those women is a rape victim.
Math is fun.
Cite?
I heard a similar anecdote, only after the young woman suggested he take the baby, he responded by calling her a selfish murderous whore.
Oh, and bad SCOTUS decision. Not a binding precedent on future SCOTUSes either.
people complaining about this dont relize that people would protest their regardless the decision.not everyone is enjoying your lack of respect for the constitution
It’s interesting to observe that there was a dramatic and precipitous decline in the number of maternal deaths due to unsafe abortions after Roe v. Wade. And of course, there’s always crap like this:
Horrific maternal deaths and murders. Of course. Because the debate is all about “the sanctity of life”.
Screaming obscenities at women who are going through a difficult experience and perhaps emotional trauma at this point in their lives is relatively small potatoes for these lunatics.
If you believe anti-abortion countries are “civilized”, you should take a closer look at what the country breakdown really looks like. By and large, legal abortions = first-world nations in the western world, illegal = third-world backwaters. The few exceptions tend to be countries with a large number of devout Catholics or other religious zealots.
I protest that this is the result *after *the edit.
That’s the entire freaking point: they would still protest, but they’d be a little further away and perhaps a little less intimidating or less likely to interfere.
