http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/03/04/peta-misogyny-strikes-again/

I had a general sense that they used naked women to get attention, which is nothing new. This interest in buying the clinic makes me wonder if some of them are trying to draw attention from the anti-abortion people. More pro-life than thou, maybe.

Nice to have a couple of new voices in the mix — particularly from across the great wide oceans and other lands.

I really don’t know much about PETA, other than that they had a carrot running for president campaign that was kind of clever. I remember thinking that some of the fur coat protest stuff they did was extreme, but I haven’t followed them lately. I’m curious as to how they are known for being misogynist, Ninjanurse, if you wouldn’t mind elaborating.

Nice site, by the way.

So I’ve had a browse.

Excellent.

As for the PETA carry on, you’re correct. We don’t yet have so much of a presence of this kind of stuff here in Ireland but they and others like minded are here for sure. We don’t have abortions either, our women are sent across the water to England, so no abortion clinics; yet.

That turns me off to a decent cause.
Just like moveon.org

Think I’ll write a quick post about your bloggie here. Like I said, we are a swarm.

Damn liberals.

I’m suspicious of their motives in wanting to buy this clinic. George Tiller’s family and friends are bereaved, and political groups are already angling to use the murder to their advantage.

Good intentions, crappy actions.

My grandma always said that the road to hell was paved with good intentions.

Nobody wants you to leave here, but a drive-by posting is always nice!
