"Women are not incubators, Abortion is not murder."
The first part of that is "Zygotes are not babies", but most of what i'm about to relate dealt with later-term abortions, so zygotes are less relevant.
This morning on the Monash Uni clayton campus, a bunch of anti-abortion posters appeared on the cylindrical concretey things that posters are always stuck up onto. By the time i got there, some were covered in red paint, and had feminist slogans all over them. It made my spirits lift a bit, so i walked from one cylinder to the next to read all the different slogans.
It was interesting because you could chart a kind of progression; the slogans became more sophisticated (building on previous slogans) in the direction i was walking, implying that the graffiti artists had gone in the same direction. And then, i caught up with them (and recognised two as student politicians i'd gotten along with before). I said i was a fan of their work, and they said yeah, they'd gotten 100%-positive feedback from people who came across them. That lifted the spirits as well.
The other inspiring part of it; they told me they hadn't been responsible for the red paint smeared on some of the anti-abortion posters - so at least two separate groups were involved, without any contact between them.
So, i just thought i'd share that.
