I checked my email for the first time today, and found this message from a friend who attends a Catholic church in Vancouver, WA:
"Well, I'm incredibly pissed. Just got home from church. I'm walking up to church and here are these 2 guys holding signs. One says - you can't be pro-abortion and a catholic and the other one says that kerry is pro-abortion. One of the back sides of one of them said something about bush. They were still there when I came out of church. I just shook my head no going and coming. Think I will email the church."
Has anyone else encountered this sort of thing? My friend is curious if this has happened elsewhere in Vancouver or Portland, or anywhere for that matter. My friend said the sign about "you can't be pro-abortion and a Catholic" appeared to be professionally printed.
My friend has been attending this church for many, many years and cannot recall this church being targeted before by Rethugs in this fashion. Comments and advice? My friend is very upset, as a lifelong Catholic and Democrat.
One note: the two Rethugs were on a public sidewalk, not church property.
