I hate to say it Prog (and Shane, considering you're in the south too, along with anyone else down in that area), but... it does tend to happen in the bible-belt-ish states.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I know, Priest.  Just sometimes I forget I'm more of an oddity down here than a normality.  At least there's enough folks to have formed a church.  I hope it lasts and doesn't get damaged in any way.

I live in N Florida, which is the southern tip of the BB.  A nearby abortion clinic recently had to move after a lot of problems.  It was bad enough that the protestors would scream at nearly every person who entered the plaza, even when they weren't going to the clinic (We often went to the post office there).  But they also caused several accidents by distracting drivers and blocking their views with the signs.  At one point, I tried to pull out of the plaza when some old guy held his sign directly in front of my window so I couldn't see the road.  Two weeks later, they caused my wreck when they blocked the entrance.

Yeah, holier-than-thou assholes.

I dunno there's a church around here that says similar stuff and they're fine...

Fair enough.  no offense meant.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I'm pretty sure that there are federal laws that make this illegal. If you're obstructing the entrances, parking lots, or other facilities of an abortion clinic, then you're breaking the law.

At the very least it's a traffic violation of some sort.

I love it. This reminds me of a character concept I have for a Vampire:the Requiem LARP.

The character belongs to a bloodline that is androgynous. I wear a goatee, and think I look about 12 when clean shaven. My fiancee said if I end up playing this character, I should keep my facial hair and wear a dress.

That seems photoshopped to me.  Is it?
