Officials Demand: Remove Pro-Life Sign from Porch!

Here's a sick story. Apparently, this couple can't have a pro-life sign on their own porch. It's a violation of some idiotic "borough ordinance." The ordinance allows posted signs only in places such as charitable institutions, churches, etc. Conveniently, other folks in the community have hung signs that violate the ordinance, but the city chose these particular people to come down on like a ton of bricks.

Paxtang Mayor William J. Parker said he opposes abortion but wants the sign removed because "if everyone with a self-serving interest puts a sign up, we'd have signs all over Paxtang.

"That's a visual impairment," he said. "Where does it end?"

Hey, Mayor Moron, who cares what you want? This is a free-speech issue. No one said you have to like it. Everyone should have the right to hang any kind of sign they like on their property. If you don't approve, that's tough. The First Amendment was drafted with fascists like you in mind, bub.

Interestingly, the ACLU even took a role in this little farce:

Paula Knudsen of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania said the action "cuts to the heart of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights."

"It doesn't matter whether it's affixed to your house, in your yard or to a banner flying from your balcony," she said. "Political and religious messages are protected by the First Amendment."

Hm. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
