In reply to the discussion: Churches Protest & Harass Abortion Clinic Patients? Reverse the Tables at Their Churches. [View all]raven mad
(4,940 posts)I understand that by writing back, it helps keep the thread alive (see, newbie here....).
My poor stepdaughter, nearly 7 years ago, had no money and was pregnant. She had no intention of aborting my (now) incredible grandson, but did not want the kind of garbage counseling she'd have to endure to get free prenatal care, or indeed, even a free pregnancy test, at the local nonprofits - except for Planned Parenthood. I drove her there. The gauntlet we had to run just to get in the door of the building that houses this wonderful service was absolutely disgusting.
I actually threatened one man with some quite nasty retribution if he laid another finger on my stepdaughter, and would have followed through - with steel-toed boots on, it would've been quite painful for him.
Don't target folks like the Friends or the Unitarians. Target the churches of those folks who stand in the intersections, on the sidewalks, and in front of the clinics, preventing those women seeking care from getting same.
BTW, we got in the door and the folks at PP apologized profoundly, even though it was not in any way their fault. My lovely daughter got excellent prenatal care, had an easy midwife attended birth, and I got the most wonderful grandson in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!
William! You amaze me!
