Crazy Man..


People like this get me angry. There is a man, Dan Holman, who stands in front of planned parenthood clinics and harasses women he believes are going to have abortions.
Here is an example of a day in Dan's life:
"Two women turned into the lot. One of Holman's fellow protesters rushed toward their SUV with anti-abortion literature, but the women ignored the protestor and parked in front of Planned Parenthood. Holman was sure they came for an abortion.Holman picked up his unamplified megaphone, which he calls the "Truth Horn." The women opened their car doors. Holman wore a wide-brimmed hat like a pilgrim's, and black clothes to show he's in mourning. "Your baby wants to live!" the 62-year-old Keokuk man shouted. "Your baby don't want to die! It's a beautiful little boy or little girl, your son or daughter, but not yours to kill! Your circumstances will change! You can't bring baby back to life once it's dead!"Holman's voice echoed. The women walked toward the clinic door. Holman wanted to prick the women's consciences. He does this, he said, because he's the last line of defense for a baby's life. In the culture wars surrounding issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, Holman is a front-line combatant."
It is hard enough for a woman to make the decision whether or not to keep her baby, every woman has a right to choose what she does with her body. The decision she makes is what she feels is the best one for life situation at the moment. It is not an easy decision, and it is not a happy one. The process is usually emotional and confusing. This man is not making the lives of these women any easier. First of all, he is a man, he will never know what it is like to be pregnant. He will never know what it is like to make a decision like this, ever.
He may feel like he is helping, because in his own crazy mind, he thinks he is. However, he is just bringing more pain and anguish to women who have alot on their plate already. Who is he to judge?
