That is horrible! You can't just stalk and harass somebody for doing their job! What if I didn't like fur? Could I burn down stores that sold it?

Jess, I agree that this should be considered over the line. (not quite the same as burning a place down, however). Anyone who wonders why Planned Parenthood tried to keep quiet about the construction in Aurora can now see why.

Jess, they aren't stalking or harassing Meggison. If they were, I'm sure the police would not have hesitated to arrest the prolifers. They are expressing their displeasure against a man they believe is helping to build a place where babies are murdered. You may or may not agree, but they believe he is facilitating murder.

Jess: "That is horrible! You can't just stalk and harass somebody for doing their job!"

Jess, you have a point, Josef Mengele was just doing his job too. We shouldn't be harassing these people! It's not right.

What if the building that Mr. Meggison is constructing is being designed specifically to kill you and your family, would I be wrong to picket his home?

You may not be in danger but thousands of unborn children are targeted for a horrible death. Please don't forget that.

No job, no amount of money, no action of any kind should contribute to the murder of one innocent child. There should be outrage here, but not over someone's job!

"What if the building that Mr. Meggison is constructing is being designed specifically to kill you and your family, would I be wrong to picket his home?"

No, I would not picket his home. I would either:

A. Run away as fast as I could
or
B. Start collecting rocks to throw at him when he comes after my family and me.

"Jess, you have a point, Josef Mengele was just doing his job too. We shouldn't be harassing these people! It's not right."

I would not picket Josef Mengele, I would cut off his head and then go after the rest of the Nazi guards.

...and obviously free the prisoners and try to get them some place safe.

"Jess, they aren't stalking or harassing Meggison."

Then, pray tell, how did they find out where he lived?

And the fact that his child has to put up with this....I mean she's innocent of this why should she have to suffer?

BTW Jill, 67% of people who visit your site are me, switching back and forth between this and CUTEOVERLOAD.com

Jess, they aren't stalking him. If they were, then they would have been arrested. Stalking and harassment are against the law. The police talked to them and then left it at that. All they are doing is exercising their 1st amendment rights. I suppose he could file a civil lawsuit against them, but I don't think that would go far.

Why don't they picket his work? His job is the reason he's building it I'm sure he doesn't build abortion clinics for fun. To me it just seems like they're making themselves look bad.

I mean no one else in that neighborhood has anything to do with this. It seems like they're trying to provoke him.

Jess, they are probably picketing both home and work. They are trying to convince him to cease his involvement in PP.They will probably make things very uncomfortable for him until he does stop working with PP. Remember, they believe(and I do too) that he is building a structure where babies will be killed. That's why they are taking extraordinary measures. They are standing up for little ones who don't have a voice.

Making things uncomfortable for him and everyone around him. Imagine if a neighbor of his just miscarried and she has to wake up every morning to a dead fetus. Or what about the young children who want to play outside and are greeted with this grisly scene. It really isn't appropriate.

Imagine the people who view abortion as murder having to drive by a PP building all the while thinking babies are being killed there. Imagine the unborn children that will mever get even one chance to play outside. Imagine the grisly scene that will be played out in the abortion mill this man is helping to build.

I've had had weirdos follow me home from work. I'm sure that they were standing up for their god given right to assure themselves that I had a decent place to live. @@
Honey, when you object to what someone does for a living, following them home and harrassing them and their family is out of bounds. Very bad manners, straight out stalking and completely sociopathic.
You don't object to the construction business do you? Of course you don't. You simply wish to dictate a business owner's choices of employment. And I ask you what's next? The company that supplies the construction company's office supplies to the company that is contracted to build a structure for a business that you object to will be picketed and it's employees harassed at home?
Hmmmmm. Sounds like the KKK to me.

Sally, great idea! Maybe we should picket the companies that supplies the company that supplies the company that works with PP. You are full of...good suggestions tonight. Hmmmm. You are right again-I am very opposed to the construction business. The evils of the construction industry must be stopped! Everybody should build their own houses or else live in tents.

Uh huh. Inspect everyone that your money employs. Only spend money if you know that the money chain connects to those of your political/religous views.
