Why would Fundies attack an Oncologist?

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

I was just remembering a situation from when I was in High Schools, where members of the local Baptist Group, Picketed, Threatened and even blockaded the hospital she worked at until they were forced to let her go to end the harrassment. Oh, btw she was an Oncologist (cancer specialist), who did nothing but screen people for Breast, Uterian, Skin & Testicular cancer.

I mean even with the funky reasoning of Operation Rescue what could they possibly have against saving someone from a certain painful death by cancer?

I think... its because they treat cancer with stem cell research. Maybe.

Because they are idiots and didn't bother finding out what she actually did.

Maybe the cancer was God's will and she was interfering with His holy work.

I don't suppose they have a website that explains their "reasoning"?

Maybe they were just confused.

Probably didn't bother to look up "oncologist". Morons are everywhere, look out for them.

Well ya' see y'all buncha heathens and fags, this "doctor" is a woman, and as such should only belong in the kitchen or bed poppin' out more Children of God. Also, she specialized in uteran cancer...THE UTERUS IS THE TOOL OF THE DEVIL IT SUCKS MEN'S SOULS INTO IT'S BLOODY AND WARM DEPTHS. Any part of a woman is not to be tinkered with because it is inherently evil. ESPECIALLY anything that has to do with disgusting reproduction!

That's some of the funniest things I've ever read. If not funny, it's at least absurd.

Like somebody said earlier, those morons are still living in the 16th century and they think women should be in the home. Or mabye they thought she was "unholy" because she cured breast and testicular cancer. (That's a stretch for a reasonable person, but not for fundies)

As DPDarkPrimus said, because they're idiots. There is no logical reason.

I was pissed off because my Granny is in Chemo again (Yup it runs in the family, just like the males get all sorts of skin cancers....)

Actually what happened was they called her a "Butcher" because of the nessessity of surgery in order to save lives, also because she made arrangements with plastic surgeons so that folks could feel "Normal" after the surgery. I figure it was a wierd Christian Science/Baptist thing that got blown out of proportion when the Contacted "Operation Rescue" terrorist group....

God LOVES america and wishes the republican party well on its fight against the terrorists who ALL came from Iraq to blow up the WTC with Saddam's dirty, chemo, anthrax Nuke.
Thankfully the threat of Iraq's bioweapon production has been halted and found, BOTH trailers are now in US custody, that 100 billion was well spent.
Now the great Bush will give the US a $350 billion tax cut, to the entire american people, except families in the 10000-26000 double income, they still won't get the childrens tax benefit of 1000 dollars that he promised in the State of the Onion, oh and maybe he'll help the failing school system too.

Because the devine light will protect them from evil! :roll:

Seriously though, its probably a case of 'monkey see, monkey do'. One idiot starts a crusade, and a bunch of brainless fundies follow.

That's what I don't get about souch groups. OR claims to be pro-life, right? Then, in this case, the true pro-life thing to do would let her save lives. It's stuff like that that convinces me that they're doing it for something other than concern for human life.
