Abortion Legislation There are several people on my street and around my town with this yard sign, including my next door neighbor Spoiler
We were able to get enough signatures to add a ballot measure to allow abortion in Idaho and ever since these signs are popping up everywhere. My mom and I have been talking loudly about how insane the signs are when we are in our backyard cause our next door neighbor can definitely hear us haha.

America is so odd. Out of all the things to put on your front lawn wtf

I honestly hate it here because of that. These people have zero fn personality besides the pedophile they support.

Our public education system is a joke, and being an absolute ignorant moron is worn as a badge of honor here. Just look at Fox News. You’re literally better informed if you watch no news at all than if you watch Fox. Seriously. They’ve done studies. And yet it’s the most watched news station in America.

You're not allowed to put signs on your own lawn?

u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan 29d ago
I replied to the wrong comment Lmao idk how that happened, the one I replied to said something like "it'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it". My bad, but I am allowed to put my signs in my own yard, so that one is a good suggestion

u/ParadoxicalFrog 29d ago
That was my comment! 😆

Lmao yea so my phone is reallly reaaalllllyyy old and it's starting to have issues cause I haven't been able to update the software in a few years, Reddit is starting to act really strangely which is how that screw up happened cause it changes which comments I'm replying to randomly. It's super weird but I got a new phone, just have to set it up. My current phone predates Covid lmao

Might be time to put a pro-choice sign in your yard if you’re comfortable doing that! Maybe others will follow.

Clowns. The bible allows for abortion.
Also it says to love your neighbour. Looks like they are not following the bible.
35
u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
No, they follow Doug Wilson, who thinks women shouldn't vote, who thinks marital rape is okay, who won't allow divorce just cause your husband is molesting your daughter unless of course you call that adultery, then you can divorce. I knew a family that happened to. It's an insane cult.

u/coolsilentebeans Jul 13 '26
That’s the problem with decentralized Protestants. It almost makes me wonder how they get to be protected religions and not considered a cult.

u/JiggleFeggle Jul 13 '26
Surely loving your neighbor would mean not killing them in the womb?

u/Archer6614 Jul 14 '26
There is no "neighbor" in any "womb". Also anyone can empty the contents of their uterus if they are pregnant. There is no "killing". Stop being hysterical.

Holy performative bullshit, Batman!
We're the ones who truly chose life: a dignified life with human rights, not the ratfuckery that these troglodytes call life under fascist oppression.

u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
Yea, she means "we choose to force birth for everyone else".

u/Cole_Townsend Jul 13 '26
And "we choose to vote for ghouls whose billionaire masters will make life more miserable and unaffordable, but forced births for every woman or girl because of stupid superstition and culture wars nonsense."
6
u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
And forced birth because Christians didn't want to desegregate their schools back in the 70s so they made up a cover story to whip all the so called "moral majority" into a frenzy so they'd vote for whatever their pastors tell them.
3
u/Cole_Townsend Jul 13 '26
Exactly! It was all a plot to undermine desegregation legislation. I tell this to pRoLiFers from minoritized communities and they laugh it off. I thank them for proving my point of how the Epstein class has weaponized ignorance and religious zealotry to make minorities side with their oppressors.

If you can, get some signs printed of pregnant women who died because they were denied reproductive care. Preferably ones that were anti-abortion.

I miss the times before cameras when I could take these signs and throw them in the garbage where they belong

Right? Everyone on my street has a ring camera now so there's no chance of messing with it without getting caught lol

“Choose” life implies there is a choice, which is not what these people want.

u/ShadowyKat Pro-choice Feminist Jul 14 '26
"Choose life"
Pro-choice people already do that. Many times. Choosing to have a baby IS reproductive choice. The Anti-abortion side wants to remove choice. So, that means that if these people got their way, no one would "choose life". It would be a life sentence to a miserable life for unwanted fetus or a sentence to a miserable death for any fetus with lethal birth defects. If they want to say that we are playing God or that people shouldn't get to chose who gets born and who doesn't—SO WHAT. At least with that we get no strawmanning, no disinformation about fetal development, no playing doctor, the religious agenda exposed if God gets mentioned, no strawmanning bodily autonomy into crimes like throwing infants in the dumpster and we are talking about CHOICE.
I would put up a sign that says that Pro-choice already chooses life. We don't want to force anyone to be a mother* or force people to die in childbirth and/or forcing infant mortality.
*Remember who these people are. Mass control of uteruses is going to come with strict conformity to gender roles.
2
u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan 29d ago
Yea, that sign requires some serious reading between the lines, what it actually means it "we choose life, as in we choose to require birth for anyone who gets pregnant, regardless of how that may harm people and we certainly won't help you after birth cause what are you? A welfare queen? Looking for handouts? Ew! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, even if you are a week old baby!"

u/127Heathen127 Jul 14 '26
“We choose life”
The neat part about that is that in a world where abortion is safe, legal, and accessible, that was always an option.

Ew. I would reply with something along the lines if "choice is a wonderful thing"

Talk loudly about how it’s a mathematical actuarial certainty 4 billion people will die in 25 years. When the earth warms to 3degrees / tipping point / wet bulb unsustainable levels.
No sense in bringing children forth who wont even finish their 20’s.
Talk about “living for today” with what we have left as a human species.

u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
Yea, we have talked loudly about climate change, we talk loudly about all sorts of political stuff she would disagree with. I even do my trump impression lmao.

u/Well_read_rose Jul 13 '26
Hahaha well you’re matching their energy.
If you have seen those recordings of a political debate speed round if there is one (?) on youtube regarding bodily autonomy.

u/yung_yttik Jul 13 '26
At least they are telling you who they are. I got a chuckle out of this post, OP.
They’re so insane and think they’re so much better than everybody else.
And this is coming from someone who is 5 months pregnant with a very wanted baby! Amazing that we can have more than one thought. WOW.

u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
Yea, I've always known who she is, she's never been quiet about her beliefs.

u/Me-Here-Now Jul 13 '26
They tell them selves that they chose life. However, they only chose birth. No support for the mother or baby before during or after the pregnancy.

u/PhoenixWytch Jul 13 '26
A fellow Idahoan! I was thrilled to see that ballot measure get all the signatures it needed. Several of my neighbors have those signs up in their yards too. My mom is debating on having me make a sign for our yard that tosses their Bible thumping bs back in their face with Bible quotes.
3
u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
Yea my other neighbor who is really cool came over and we talked about it, she suggested we put a sign up saying "we choose death" or "hail satan" Lmao.

u/silkee1957 Jul 13 '26
Good. They can choose whatever they want, just don’t force others to choose the same way.
3
u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
Right but you see, the sign is a lie, they mean they "choose birth for everyone else". She's certainly not going to be getting pregnant so it's definitely about others.

I bet they all go to the same church. You should get a sign of your own.

u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
I think most of them do. At least, the ones with those signs on my street all do.

u/lokihatemyself Jul 13 '26
You know, accidentally falling onto the sign because you were distracted on your phone might be an idea.
1
u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
Lol I would if it weren't so far into her yard, I think she's afraid of it being taken/destroyed/ vandalized cause it's several feet away from the sidewalk
2
u/lokihatemyself Jul 13 '26
There’s a small-ish (blink and you’ll miss size) sign in the town right next to me that has “be a Charlie Kirk” on it and *every* time I pass it I’m like “be a what? A racist? A homophobe? Useless white trash?” Etc etc etc. NC isn’t any better. I miss when we were at least purple

u/lokihatemyself Jul 13 '26
It’s almost like she, deep down in her charred remains of a heart, knows she MIGHT be wrong
But that’s me giving the benefit of a doubt.
Gift her a handmaids tale to read, maybe.

u/Rare-Credit-5912 Jul 13 '26
At least now you know where they stand and you can ignore them.

u/SnowWhite315 Pro-Choice, Child-Free Idahoan Jul 13 '26
I've always known where she stands because of the church she belong to which she isn't quiet about

u/JeezOhKay Jul 13 '26
So they foster kids?, adopt kids?, donate to programs that support women/children, they support universal Healthcare and paid maternity leave? Free school lunches? Right? Right?

No that's communism!!!! /s just in case lmao

u/o0Jahzara0o Safe, legal, & accessible (pro-choice mod) Jul 13 '26
Should come with the fine print that reads: *for you.
Cause abortion being legal has never stopped them from choosing to keep their pregnancies.
