Ah! Now that's an interesting post. So they are not an expression of your belief in a particular deity. No, you are telling me they are political speech opposing a legal procedure that is in fact, per the SCOTUS, protected by the Constitution.

Well now we have a whole new kettle of fish. Should we allow political signs in our yards as apparently crosses are political speech. And of course political speech is protected by the Constitution. Except when it isn't because you signed a contract or due to a reasonable local law.

Thank you for honestly telling me what those little crosses meant. That is wasn't burial spots for dead pets, or generic advertising of your adherence to a faith. No, the motivation is to make a political statement about abortion and the effects of Roe v Wade. It would be interesting to know how many homes with little white crosses have pro-choice Christians.
