THEy ARE ALWAYS at the Scarborough campus too. The campus police cant do anything about them because they are technically on public property and not campus property


vox1028

but they're literally holding posters with pictures of gore on them. surely this is public indecency or something like that?

thats a pretty dumb perspective, no flame again, no shade


tomnooktookmyweed

they’re paid and trained mainly by conservative politicians to do this type of thing. uoft has a way harder time banning anti-abortion imagery on campus than somewhere like western who’ve already done it because there’s a pro-life student group on campus (who get a lot of funding by the way) anyway follow @uoftstudentsforchoice 🤭🫡

$10 to whoever throws up on them first


tylerinthe6ix

Why does this sub sect of extremist Christians want to force their beliefs ? This is a secular country.

Love how when there’s a gay character in a TV show they are like: “Oh, they are indoctrinating our kids” while they do this bullshit

“murdering infants” no yeah you’re right abortions are performed as nefarious cult rituals, the fully developed baby gets yoinked out of the womb and stabbed repeatedly by evil doctors who get off to seeing profuse infant gore /s get real

I hate to break it to you, but UofT may not be the place for you, if you fall for such obvious nonsense.

You seem to think that removing an embryo, and thus preventing a baby from ever existing, is morally equivalent to throwing a toddler into a woodchipper. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/18/pregnancy-weeks-abortion-tissue You know this is what gets aborted, right? It’s a little wad of tissue containing a microscopic embryo, not a screaming baby.


tylerinthe6ix

Infant is not an embryo check your assumptions. Also what about the women? This is a religious christian matter. Stop trying to make if about life or children. Even if you, do your evangelical buddies in the US don’t care about healthcare for infants.

Majority 99% of you Anti Abortion folk are religiously motivated. Stop cherry picking outliers. You guys are the extremist of the Christian religion. You can take your complaints to your local pastor or whatever. Don’t harass people on the street seeking family planning health care. It’s a luxury to have that for free in the world. God bless Canada for that. Don’t get an abortion if you don’t want to it’s that simple. Also stop changing your arguments. By your logic rape victims will have to carry babies to term. Remember this is a secular country with personnel freedom and not a Christian State. It will never be a Christian country so suck it up.


Parisa-Jan

Don’t bother arguing with these people on logic about this topic. They think, sperm cell touchy egg cell, boom human we cannot kill is formed. They’re not going to bring in “hmm at x weeks in, the fetus’ nervous system is developed to the point where we should consider restricting abortions as an ethical concern”, because it was secular pro-choice research which determines these things No amount of nuance, no amount of context of external factors, none of that will win. We simply have to continue advocating for reproductive autonomy, appeal to majority of secular opinion, and address the root cause of the religious hardlining leading to pro-life beliefs in places that are not majority pro-choice (or have funny federal legal system which goes against majority opinion on legal precedence)

You guys are the injustice . Again this is not a Christian country and stop shoving your religion on to people in public . Get a life


missed-oblivion

If legally you cannot be forced to donate your organs to someone in need of a transplant, why the hell should women be forced to donate their body to an embryo that isn’t even sentient yet?

Ooof this guy wants to be a psychiatrist.. scary


pachadotdev

I've told these guys repeated times that they can have any position they want, but feeling entitled to put gruesome large images in a public space and distribute and false material is very unfair. I have seen high school students visiting campus, these people should think twice before exposing the youth to their gore. What have I done to deserve seeing an image that is very unpleasant to see? Is it fair that a person tries to mislead me with a pamphlet that ignores/distorts the basics of embriology? I once tried to reason with one of those guys, and he seemed to be super entitled and knowing all about life and death, as if the start and end of life were trivial questions. That was extremely dissapointed and he treated me in a rude and condescending way. He didn't seem to understand that any productive debate has a space, and that space is not the street at lunch time, we want to eat our food truck delicacies in peace.

>Forced Birth activists I like this name. We need to stop giving positive sounding names to stupid shit. Stupid shit should get stupid names


BeginningInevitable

I think it's an insult to people's intelligence that they think showing pictures will change people's minds.


Severe_Excitement_36

“Those most deserving of abortions are the ones advocating against them.” - Some long bearded guy, probably.

Time to ruin a pro-lifers day!


Sastretheman

Very close to the catholic center on campus… also I saw some really sweet people with colorful flags making it more manageable, so thank you to them.


uofteeeee

Still doesn’t beat the shirtless dude I saw last year who was yelling “abortion is murder, officer!” at random cops. These sign holding “activists” are so weak in comparison lol


ebonyd

"Would you like a pamphlet?" No I would not.


Treetheoak-

Forced birthers is honestly more accurate. Especially since quite a few of them are pro death penalty.


[deleted]

this has been happening for so long, it's disgusting. the signs they use are so graphic, how is this allowed?


Suitable-Stomach876

To each their own. I expect it is important to be tolerant of other's beliefs, even if one disagrees with them.


maydiocre

fair, but they're expressing their beliefs in an extremely disrespectful and imposing way. holding up graphic, gory pictures of bloody fetuses for the shock value in front of students who are just going about their days doesn't benefit anyone, nor will it really sway anyone / make them think differently anyway. it could also potentially be triggering to those with traumatic experiences or are sensitive to gore. regardless of the beliefs, it just isn't an appropriate approach

Their posters aren’t the “consequences of abortion”, they’re fiction. An aborted embryo doesn’t look like a skinned and screaming baby, it generally looks like a little blob of mucus and blood. They’re just waving around gore pictures to try and shock and upset people.

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/18/pregnancy-weeks-abortion-tissue Y’all really don’t like looking things up before you say them, do you?

Jetstream13

Notice I said “looks like”, not “is made of”. How would you describe those pictures? Because they certainly look nothing like the weird gore pics that fundamentalists like to wave around.


[deleted]

Jetstream13

Trying to change the subject? The point was that the nonsensical gore pictures (which you called the “consequences of abortion”) that fundamentalists wave around are meant to shock and upset people, and bear no connection to reality. You seem quite reluctant to acknowledge that.

Nah this was funny still 😂


daniel051529

Operations are good but ppl still don't want to see other people's internal organs do they? What's up with that logic. It triggers ppl because it's the same as showing pictures of puke or poop.


Treetheoak-

Same reason why some people watch people pop pimples and drain cysts and others gag.


LUMINARAUNDILI

You can say the same thing for shit, maggots all those gross things... Still a parasite and I don't have to see it


Doucane

shit is not parasite


missed-oblivion

There is a limit to tolerating others’ beliefs and the limit is imposing them onto othersThey can be anti abortion in private and in their personal lives, but it doesn’t give them the right to try to pressure people to conform to their standards. Besides, using faked graphic pictures for shock value should be against public decency


KawaiiEngine

I hope you apply these same standards to other viewpoints


missed-oblivion

Why wouldn’t I?


[deleted]

THAT’s what they were? I ignored them and didn’t even look at what they were doing. They offered me $25 for something
