    That sign directly implies that Mary would have "chosen" an abortion. That shows what they think about her.

    In their ignorance they think they are insulting the pro-choice people. In reality they are insulting their own intelligence.

    The anti-abortion movement is really an anti-womens rights movement led by men. The traditional method of keeping women down is by keeping them saddled with children and dependent on men. They are also against contraception. And they are for bombing innocent Iraqi and Afghanistan children and pregnant women.

    The sign on the van is confronting to some people who follow the christian religion because some people are not pro-choice because of their religious beliefs.

    As an aside, there are many who dispute the historical existence of Mary and Jesus. Ultimately, this cannot be proven or disproven. However, there would still be an x-mas. There was such a festival before the christian religion and this festival continues in various religious traditions today. The christian religion appropriated the festival into its own calendar. The birth or existence of an historical Mary or Jesus is irrelevant to the existence of the festival.

    Just because someone is pro-choice dosn't mean they have had, or ever will have, an abortion. it just means they support every woman's right to choose what the right coarse of action is for her.

    So for all we know, if Mary existed, she might have been pro-choice. I'm sure girls in her time period had unwanted pregnancies that they found ways to end.

    That's only if Mary was pro-choice AND had an abortion. They don't always coincide.

    There'd be no Christmas, but we might be celebrating Yule.

    There'd also be no Fred Phelps, Way of the Master, and other forms of Christian idiocy. It'd be worth it.

    For a woman to have a child in the ancient days was a privilege.

    Humans speak. When Jehovah God's son spoke, sayings of everlasting life came out.

    There are so many situations today in which a woman can become pregnant. Yet, Jehovah God had this child come to us, for comfort.

    We would all be celebrating the Winter Solstice, the pagan Yuletide or some other mid winter festival.

    A rose by any other name...could still be commercialized into an orgy of materialism and greed.

  • It's not like having an abortion is an initiation to being pro-choice.

    Being pro-choice is exactly that: A woman's right to choose. That means the right to choose to have a child as well.

    Pro-choice doesnt mean pro abortion, if she was pro choice then she would have the right to choose. This doesnt mean that she would have automatically aborted baby jebus.

    You know that pro-choice women also choose to give birth, right?
