I pass pro"life" protesters with pictures like this one every day on my commute to work. It's a great way to start your day off with a grrr.
It is my least favorite thing about working so close to the hospital (which is the only place that has abortion services in my city, which means it is the only place to put these signs to shame the women who need to access abortion services).
I just want to say, at 26 weeks, it is not an infant, but a fetus (or, if born at this age, a neo-natal preemie that may or may not be old enough to survive). The language and photo are problematic for many many reasons. Less than 1% of abortions in Canada take place after 20 weeks, and when they do, it is usually because the baby has no chance of surviving and the mother doesn't want to put her body through carrying a baby that is going to die to term.
Also, a fetus in the womb is probably not smiling. But it looks cuter in the photo if there is a small smile on the baby, I guess.
Also, I keep planning on bringing a sign that I can fold up into my backpack that just says PRO-CHOICE in big letters and then I can hold it up while I walk past them, so I can at least feel like I am doing something. I started trying to organize a protest, but they are usually gone by 10am and most of us have to work.
