Today Planned Parenthood is visiting and lobbying the Capitol. In honor of their visit, I put this sign up on my office door. Organizations that murder children are not welcome in my office. ‪#‎prolifeandproudofit‬

Signs calling some state lawmakers former fetuses are causing a stir at the Capitol, with one representative accusing another of intimidating his staff by removing them.

One of the signs appeared Wednesday morning on the wall outside Rep. Jonathan Stickland's office. It identifies the Bedford Republican as a "FORMER FETUS," using a format similar to the plaques near most members' doors.

"It's just been ripped down and thrown in my staffer's face by Charlie Geren," Stickland said, referring to the Fort Worth Republican who chairs the House Administration Committee.

“I thought it was absolutely handled in the wrong way," Stickland added. "I wish Rep. Geren was more professional about it instead of intimidating my staff.”

Calling Stickland's account inaccurate, Geren said he simply removed the signs because they were in violation of rules from the State Preservation Board, which is responsible for making sure the Capitol grounds are maintained.

"Tearing them down is hardly the deal," Geren said minutes after Stickland shared the story on Twitter. "If Stickland wants to act like a child, that's fair, but I did not rip it down."

Hey, former zygote here! Republicans - Keeping the fetuses alive for future war casualties and tax slaves. Hey, I wish they valued the rights of us living folks 1/2 as much as they champion the rights of the fetuses. His sign is lame. "Self Righteous Asshole" sign would have probably been left alone.

"Organizations that murder children are not welcome in my office", well except the ones that are freedom spreading in the middle east and even here at home, huh Johhny? Prick.

Do you think it is a sign of self-righteousness to be against abortion?

Remember, you are dealing with a slave mentality here.

"If Stickland wants to act like a child, that's fair, but I did not rip it down."

Wait what? he's making excuses for ripping it down and denying that he ripped it down at the same time?

I think he means 'hypocrite'. It's a fair charge against typical republicans though I don't know this guy. "Force poor people to have babies then oppose welfare"/"don't kill fetuses but then support unjust wars" etc.

Do you think it is a sign of self-righteousness to be against abortion?

Nope, but forcing your views as laws on me sure is. Wizard is correct, hypocrite may have been more appropriate.

 

[Slave Mentality]

Remember, you are dealing with a statist here. Vote harder William.

How is Jonathan Stickland a hypocrite?

Remember, you are dealing with a statist here. Vote harder William.

Life, Liberty, and Property. Such statist ideals. Supported by evil statists like Ron Paul, and Jonathan Stickland.

Do you think it is a sign of self-righteousness to be against abortion?

Its righteous to be against it. Its self-righteous to be against it and simultaneously for killing children in a dozen other ways.

Its also hugely ostentatious. The goal of the sign is to get ripped down.

Is this guy a warmonger? I honestly don't know.

 

[Dr.3D]

At least he's against killing unborn babies.

No, he's a RPFer.

 

[Sola_Fide]

No, he's a RPFer.

Oh I see. So then he's not a hypocrite?

Murder should be against the law. that is my view and it must differ with yours.

That's some sick shit. So welfare should be provided if you don't want people killing their offspring? How do you even get to such a point?
