Pro-Choice Couple Brilliantly Trolls Abortion Protesters

On Saturdays, Grayson and Tina Haver Currin run errands — rather, one particular errand, which they document on their blog, Saturday Chores. Despite what the blog's name suggests, this weekend activity is anything but mundane: The Raleigh, NC husband-and-wife team heads to the local women's clinic to counter-protest the anti-abortionists who congregate there. The Haver Currins even tote their own handmade signs, eclipsing the pro-lifers' misguided messages with humor. The contrast of the couples' contrarian and/or nonsensical signs against the anti-abortionists' accusations of murder is hilarious and surprisingly poignant.
Tina describes the genesis of the idea: "Grayson and I both grew up not too far away, and we’ve seen the clinic in question hundreds of times," she explains. "But, for some reason, on [one] morning in particular, the protestors got under our skin a little more than normal. Grayson suggested that we make a sign that said 'Weird Hobby' and point at one of the protestors. We tried to buy poster board at Home Depot, but they don’t carry it. As we were leaving, I ripped a vinyl sale sign off of a display and took a Sharpie to it. We posted the results to Instagram and Facebook, and people flipped." To see more of their brilliantly juxtaposed signs, click through the photos of this ongoing Saturday chore — and then follow Tina and Grayson on Twitter.
