Pro-life billboard vandalized in Oregon
It’s bad when somebody presents a political view and somebody disagrees with them enough to do vandalism and damage to an innocent bystander such as Euro-Asian Automotive.
~ Euro-Asian Automotive owner George Rode lamenting the damage his business sustained as a result of vandalism of a pro-life billboard sponsored by StandUpGirl.com, as reported by KEZI News, June 26
According to KEZI, CBS Outdoor has removed the billboard and refused to honor a second billboard that was purchased by StandUpGirl.com. The group’s money was instead refunded.

Vandalism is wrong.
Abortion is not a lifetime of regret for all women.
What do you do to help the ones that do regret it Pierre?
The ones that struggle with depression, nightmares, suicidal thoughts and attempts and drug abuse? How do you help those that finally come to understand the truth that they paid someone to end the life of their own child?
There are plenty of people who don’t regret killing postborn individuals, either. I suppose that makes it okay, right?
“Abortion is not a lifetime of regret for all women.”
(with all due respect to those here who have had an abortion and do very genuinely regret it)
Indeed; many women haven’t killed any of their children, and thus are spared that regret.
Same goes for the fathers.
And the siblings.
And the grandparents.
And the uncles and aunts.
And …
As for those who have been violated through abortion, lack of regret in this case is an indicator of ignorance (willful or innocent) and/or a malformed conscience.
I suspect that, unfortunately, the issue of the proper formation of conscience will face the same problem as it does with relation to all other crimes; namely, there will always be people who decide that they are not beholden to the truth. After all, a lot of thieves, arsonists, and sexual predators don’t feel bad about their actions either, and racism has certainly not been eliminated.
However, much to the chagrin of pro-aborts, we are attempting to deal with the ignorance aspect through information and education. Not to shame women, of course, but rather to help them avoid this pain altogether or, if they’ve already been victimized, come to terms with it.
Pierre, you are more than welcome to help with this.
That creep that killed Polly Klaas didn’t have any regrets. What’s your point? If some women do regret it, and some do, then we have a right to express ourselves, on billboards, on the internet, etc.
I think I would categorically deny that, Pierre. You can’t kill a child and pick up and go on normally. Oh sure, maybe they paste a smile on their face for YOU. Maybe they spent years lying to themselves. But I feel confident in saying that every woman who has had an abortion who has not faced it and sought healing is broken inside, and very probably outside as well. And that’s actually a good thing. Like their unborn babies these women are human beings made by Love for Love.
There’s definitely a disturbing trend of increasing pro-choice crimes (vandalism, assault, murder, etc).
As to the person stated that not all women regret their abortions, does that some how negate the experiences and feelings of women, such as Carla and those attending Rachel’s Vineyard retreats? Are those women (who did have a negative abortion experience and/or regret their abortion) not entitled to their own experience and feelings as well?
I agree with all the comments made in response to Pierre’s. However, I do have to applaud him for unequivocally denouncing vandalism. There are too many abortion supporters who will make comments about how pro-life speech “doesn’t deserve” to be protected or something like that. I appreciate seeing people willing to speak out against the use of illegal tactics to suppress speech, and for that, Pierre, I give you my sincere thanks.
Well Pierre, pretty darn coincidental that every single one of my friends who have aborted are filled with regret. Those who have healed deal with the regret they feel every day. But most of my friends haven’t healed and are filled with fear, rage, sorrow, grief, and self-hatred. I’ve been there when they cried so hard for their babies snot was dripping out of their noses so you know what Pierre? I absolutely respectfully disagree with you.
“Well Pierre, pretty darn coincidental that every single one of my friends who have aborted are filled with regret. Those who have healed deal with the regret they feel every day”
Well, Sydney, pretty darn coincidental that every single one of my friends who have aborted have absolutely no problem with it. In fact, they’re more than happy to say it was the best decision of their lives. Some even joke about it. I guess we travel in very, very different circles. But feel free to maintain your righteous delusions that every woman who has had an abortion regrets it. I know you can’t believe it but it just isn’t true. But hey, if it makes you feel good, go for it.
And BTW vandalizing signs is wrong and most likely criminal. So is killing abortion doctors. BTW, I haven’t seen anything on this blog about the spate of arson and vandalism directed against women’s reproductive health clinics in Georgia.
I didn’t see anything on RH Reality Check’s blog about the spate of arson and vandalism directed against a pro-life school bus in Rockford.

I absolutely believe it, CC. There are some pretty cruel people in this world. You’re here, aren’t you? And birds of a feather flock together, so I can’t say I’m surprised by your statement.
Its not whether or not you regret your abortion that makes it wrong.
Yeah. It’s fun to joke about the death of children.
Go CC Go!!
CC, I’m usually a nonposting forum troll for these boards, but I had to step in and comment on your rebuttal that your friends are fine with, and even joke about, their abortion.
Methinks doth protest too much, perhaps?
I’ve seen overweight women laugh self-deprecatingly about themselves and actually be dying inside. I’ve seen women with children in jail laugh about how at least they know where their kids are all the time, and in the meantime be crying over how they feel like they failed. I’ve even seen women joke about being fine with their husbands sleeping with other women, because hey, “It takes the pressure off me to perform”, and in the meantime pace the floor every minute those same men are late coming home from work.
Is it possible then, entirely possible or even just a smidgen so, that women who mask their feelings about their abortion behind humor may actually regret it and mourn what they lost? That your own attitude on abortion may make them reluctant to open up about how they really feel?
I’m not saying this is absolute fact, but even you have to accept the possibilty that I’m right.
