Oh (heehee) this is just (hahahaha!) awful

HAHAHAHAHA! Ahem. Let me get my shit together here. Okay -- Lifesite, a/k/a "Hysteria R Us", strikes again with "CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Abortion Clinic Escorts sexually abuse praying fetus fetishists!":
"Video footage of abortion clinic escorts in the employ of Vienna abortionist Dr. Christian Fiala are so offensive that a local Bishop was stunned and is convinced that the case must be brought to state authorities. In the video, Dr. Fiala's staff can be clearly seen sexually abusing, humiliating and using grotesque intimidation tactics on pro-life activists who pray silently outside the abortuary."
"Abortuary", gotta love that. So what were these abusers doing to the hapless fetus fanatics?
"The video shows abortion clinic escorts grabbing the genitals of male pro-life activists, undoing pant zippers, threatening to poke them in the eyes, sexually hugging them, making grotesque faces etc. One clinic escort is seen on the video taking a wooden wedge and simulating sex with a female pro-lifer, pushing the wedge into her genital area."
Making faces? That's it? That's the "grotesque humiliation tactic"!? (They've clearly never been humiliated by me.) It sounds like these escorts might have been a little out of control -- if someone grabbed my hooha they'd be nursing a broken face. But how much of the situation happened as advertised, and how much is just the usual sexually-obsessed fetus fetishist persecution fantasy? Let's watch the video, shall we?

Okay, I saw one zipper get pulled *snicker*, kind of a nasty little trick but hey, the escort probably thought it was padlocked. Anyway, lighten up: I once pulled my husband's sweats down on Main Street and he didn't go to the cops about it. Other than the zipper, everything else on that vid was pretty standard kids-being-silly-type stuff: a couple of hugs (of course to these nitwits any hug is a Sexual Hug), making faces, acting out. Nobody got raped with any "wooden wedges", and while there seemed to be a clear and present danger of having one's crotch grabbed, it doesn't look like anyone actually copped a handful.

And you know what? There's something one can do in those situations, and it's called "Don't stand there like an idiot". There's even a simple workaround called "Don't hang out in places where you're not welcome". But what would be the persecution value in that?
