I am FUMING right now. So, I apologize in advance if this morning's blog is a little on the harsh side. I typically try to take a more objective stance on issues, especially when they pertain to Chicago (RIIIIghht). Today, however, I am shocked, appalled, amazing and quite frankly irrate at the cold, hard reality that people are just plain CRAZY!
To begin, I would like to say a heart-felt CONGRATULATIONS to the Chicago City Council for passing the "bubble" ordinance in Chicago. This ordinance states that it is now illegal to come within 50 feet of individuals standing outside a medical facility. This speaks volumes to not only the PRO-CHOICE community of Chicago, but also to those who wish to do harm to others supporting pro-choice legislation and organizations.
I am so happy to learn that the officials of the City of Chicago were able to vote correctly on this one.
What angers me is the protests going on, stating that this ordinance is a violation of a free speech right. Can you please explain to me how this is a violation? HOW is an ordinance requesting you stay 50 feet from someone a violation of your constitutional right to bitch? You can still bitch! You can still hold up your freakish signs and try to get people to listen to you.
But no longer are you allowed to follow some poor girl into an abortion clinic and scare her into agreeing with you -- that is called HARASSMENT and in this country, this type of behavior when it comes to the abortion issue has been tolorated long enough.
Americans of every variety have the right to feel safe; this includes when making tough decisions such as abortion. to the PRO-LIFE FREAKS who are protesting this ordinance, I say to you: when was the last time a Pro-Choice fanatic showed up outside an adoption agency with pictures of children who were being abused, and neglected in an adopted home? When was the last time a Pro-Choice supporter tried to convince some poor woman to abort her baby instead of putting it up for adoption right outside the agency? And when was the last time we walked up to a single pregnant woman, who was entering the adoption process, and asked if we could pray for her?
Is sex out of wedlock not also a sin in the eyes of your right-wing, conservative God? The morality pendulum HAS to swing both ways. I don't approach you and harass you into changing your mind? So why do you constantly feel the need to approach others outside Planned Parenthood, which is a good, safe, and well intentioned organization and scare people?
Seriously. Back the hell off! It's 50 feet! 50-freaking-feet.
GET OVER YOURSELF!

If you want to get technical, it's 8 ft away from someone within 50 ft of a medical center. However, this only strengthens your argument that these people only want to harass others.
