Something I've meant to mention

I ride the train to and from school for an hour in each direction, giving me an excessive amount of time to stare at whatever ad has been pasted up in front of me. About two weeks ago I had an hour to ponder something. A community group in the city has been running ads for an Abortion support group. The ads are not openly anti-abortion, they are aimed at helping those affected by abortion. The tagline at the top of the ad reads "Have you or someone you know been hurt by an abortion experience?" I feel this really is a worthy cause as I doubt there are many people out there who will say that abortion is a light subject that will have no emotional repercussions on those involved, mother, father, friends, and family. It is a serious subject that really deserves a lot more respect than it is given (the current state of things being that each side is boiled down to either pro-life or pro-choice, each grossly inaccurate of the median standpoints most of the populace truly has.)

Next to the tagline, someone had taken a permanent marker and written "anti-choice is anti-woman."

Next to that hateful slogan was written by a respondent "1/2 of those killed would have been women."

Something to chew on.
