11/19/97 - Abort All Acceptance.

     There is nothing quite as amusing as seeing
     a little tiny girl hold a huge 3 foot by
     6 foot sign on Guadalupe Street which shows
     an aborted fetus dismembered and dried.

     Yes, our favorite pro-lifers are back at it
     again.  This time they figured they'd try
     to convince us impressionable college
     students that abortion is always wrong by
     showing us graphic photos of a doctor
     holding a baby's severed head in a pair
     of tongs.

     Did you know that all students will do is
     talk about how stupid these anti-abortion
     people are?  And if a college girl got
     pregnant, it's very unlikely she'd
     use those signs to make her decision.

     I've said what I need to say about abortion
     in a Soapbox.  I just think it's stupid
     to try to convince college students this
     way.  We see it as a freak show of the
     Christians' Most Ridiculous.

     Do these people think by keeping other
     people from having abortions, God will
     forgive them for having their children
     tote around disgusting, vile photos of
     aborted fetuses?

     Herein lies an example of the hypocrisy
     of proactive advocacy.  People consider
     it forgiveable to commit one sin in
     order to expose another one.  They lose
     credibility by doing that, but they
     just don't see it.

     I don't know.  You make up your mind
     about it.  I'll just sit back and
     laugh at it all.

     That and the "FUCK CAPITALISM" graffiti
     outside the newly opened Barnes and
     Nobles bookstore on the Drag (like
     the other businesses don't operate under
     capitalistic influences).

     And...

     Anna, I terribly miss you.  We're both
     extremely busy with school, but I think
     about you all the time and it chips at
     my concentration.  I need to be with
     you soon, without stress and worry and
     concern about what needs to be done
     for school the next day.  I require
     you.  I love you.  You are me as I am
     you.  I look forward to talking to
     you tomorrow, as I always do, and as
     I always spend all class period dreaming
     about you and me together.
