Probably about once a month I drive past these protestors at a fertility clinic. They are always protesting abortion and saying how so many babies die there.

This particular clinic does not perform abortions at all. Ever. It never has.

Today one of their signs also said “babies are orphanized here.” What does that even mean? Do they think parents are killed there? Or is it because people leave their embryos stored there?

Do they also think babies are “orphanized” at hospitals when a parent leaves their room to go to the cafeteria?

I just can’t understand these people.

If these people were any smarter or had better critical thinking skills they probably wouldn’t be out protesting for pro-life causes in the first place. These are the kind of people who will believe in whatever crazy conspiracy theories get fed to them, they’ve probably been conditioned from a young age to believe crazier and crazier things. Their worldview has them believing that taking things on faith is a virtue, that the less evidence you have for something, the more believable it is. As long as it comes from somebody semi-charismatic and it makes them feel good about themselves, it’s the literal word of God.
