That's why the JMO.<br /><br />I thought the demo looked very professional. It is obvious that a lot work went into the organization, and I know it will have a strong and positive ripple effect that will promote the fight for OBCs for all.<br />Bravo to everyone who contributed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-35022235936700102232010-07-28T19:14:47.144-04:002010-07-28T19:14:47.144-04:00My feeling is tee shirt slogans should never be mo...My feeling is tee shirt slogans should never be more than 4 words, no matter what the subject:-) This sounds more like a sandwich board, even if the sentiment is heartfelt. <br /><br />To me it seems more like a conversation stopper, like right to life signs that say "abortion is murder" or Tea Party signs about the president being another Hitler. What does one say to someone wearing one of those?<br /><br />Not my taste, But I guess everyone can make and wear their own shirt.maryannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-22261980056476167572010-07-28T18:36:10.673-04:002010-07-28T18:36:10.673-04:00Personally, I love the t-shirt...and the message a...Personally, I love the t-shirt...and the message and can see that it would encourage conversation. and I'd wear it proudly at any demonstration.Lorraine Duskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285341379272250245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-19489742851630167032010-07-28T16:35:01.458-04:002010-07-28T16:35:01.458-04:00Sorry guys..

You don't have to agree and you don't have to wear it, but I can make that statement if I choose to.<br /><br />I can tell you form wearing the shirt many times at confernces and adoption events, that the "Crackwhore Birthmother" part DOES get folks attention and they DO come in to see what the rest of it says:<br /><br />Front: So not a CRACKWHORE, Not just a BIRTHMOTHER, not a family building angel, nor a saint,nor a selfless strong girl either<br />back; "Just a MOTHER missing her CHILD.. adoption separates mothers and children.. no one would choose an eternity of this"<br /><br />You can see it best here: http://www.cafepress.com/AdoptionTruths.80813799#FauxClaudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794052679215498158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-52567945840501685392010-07-28T15:55:03.074-04:002010-07-28T15:55:03.074-04:00Crackwhore Birthmother tee shirt is ok as an in-jo...Crackwhore Birthmother tee shirt is ok as an in-joke at a meeting, not ok at a public demonstration for adoptee rights.
