Philadelphia Marathon - Planned Protest
View Full Version : Philadelphia Marathon - Planned Protest
For those of you who ran the Philadelphia Marathon last year, you may remember a certain
anti-abortion protest on the course that was set up on Kelly Drive so you had to pass it twice (Mile
15, and again at 24).
If you're running the marathon this Sunday, be ready - looks like the same group is going to be
back again. The group is called "The Full Quiver Mission", and they go around the country
protesting abortion.

Marathons have become their latest favorite venue; if you ran Richmond, you were subject to the same
group and their method of protest.
This isn't the start of a Pro-Choice/Pro-Life Debate, please! I just want any runners to know that
these folks will be out there again with signs, bullhorns, and about 1/2 mile of very active
protesting; It can certainly break your concentration if you're not expecting it.
Good Luck to everyone running Sunday - I'll be there for my 7th Philadelphia, and 18th marathon -
the weather looks great!

Thanks, Bob. Looks like they're mostly out to generate publicity for themselves with these
ridiculous tactics. Not like they're going to convince anyone - they're chickensh*ts for staging
something like this in front of several thousand people who aren't going to bother to slow down or
stop to debate them. Ooooooo ... how brave. They're just trying to p&ss people off and get on the
news. Ignore them, folks, and keep running. I'm just going to keep going and try to focus on the
positive ... namely, cheesesteaks afterwards!
Ciao, Michele Chelli
I bet it will be mostly men in the group.
Men who think that THEY should decide what a woman does with HER body.

We are the bosses, so why shouldn't we?

Take it to another group. We don't need an abortion debate here because we've got HRM and runners
vs. joggers.

Don't forget GPS devices and oil changes. ;)

Come to think about it, I should attempt to start the most controversial thread in r.r's history:
If Bush decided to run a marathon without paying for entry on six weeks training while eating
nothing but pork rinds, should he be using the Galloway walk-run training method or should he go
for broke and try running under six minute miles, (since anything slower than that is jogging,
of course)?
cheers,

Good, but you forgot to mention "..and is it okay to to run the race with his 4yr old grandson and
which mp3 player should he wear for racing and should he use 220 minus his age to work out his max
HR and Nikes must be the best shoe to run in, right?"
I can see this list growing and growing. ;-)

It matters not, because without his secret service coverage, he'd be shot withing the first
mile anyway.

If he follows his normal thoughless actions he would only know how to go balls out and then try to
fiqure out what to do about half way. He never has been able to see beyond the nose on his face. Any
doubts, look at Iraq - we are in deep ****!!!!
Bush == Ready! Fire! Aim!

Nobody mentioned whether running backwards on a treadmill accurately simulates downhill running
outdoors in a tailwind, either.

Of course Al Gore's/Clinton's method would be better. They would mandate that running a marathon
would be dangerous and legislate control over it. Then when they would run the marathon it would be
the start slow, slow down in the middle, and walk to the finish method.

What kind of BS is this? The democrats ran a successful government by leaving the average person
alone. What you are referring too is giving corporate america the free reign the money-grubbing
bastards want, just like the chimp is doing now. Remember the record high gas prices a recently?
Unchallenged by the government, we only heard promises of "we are investigating" and that was the
end of it. Yeah, just stay out of everything is the answer. Democrats are now, and have always been
for the people, republicans are for themselves and lining their pockets and their buddys. Did
Clinton encourage the idiots at the post office to spy on their fellow americans? The average postal
worker (mine at least) is to stupid that after delivering mail to the box for 6 years says he can't
put a check in it because my name wasn't on it, so I conveniently pointed to the 4" letters with my
name emblazened on the MB. And the chimp wants lobotomized vegetables like these to spy on us? Oh
BTW, Got a job? No. WMD? No Saddam? No. Osama? No. thousands dead for nothing, and we went from
being the worlds leader, to be the wart on the ass of humanity. Yeah, good job, keep it up morons...
>You almost say that as if it were a bad thing!!!
If it was your child dead in Iraq for absolutely no reason but to appease the ego of a few powerful,
vengeful, ignoramuses, I think you'd feel differently. They didn't die for freedom, they died for
cheap gas prices that never happened.
