Churches Protest & Harass Abortion Clinic Patients? Reverse the Tables at Their Churches.

35. Soup kitchens on the sidewalks of the church while they are in

session. Give them a chance to know and perhaps give back to the community. Maybe drive a bus (or 40) through downtown and offer homeless people or those in need a meal, let them go through lines on the walk outside.

On their front steps, overflow in their parking. Private but public access, certainly more than a clinic, yes?

Maybe some water, a black magic marker, and a sandwich in a plastic bag with some info when we return them. Treat them nicely for awhile, give them some exposure, let them see more of the city that they may during a day, give them hope. In return, they get looked at, maybe some anti-abortion literature, which might make dandy sign-making material later on. (One gets thrifty and creative when they are homeless, if they can keep their spirit intact). But, generally, it would probably be a very positive outing.

Jesus would have said "y'all come on in", I think. Seems a church would be a natural place to start up a soup kitchen, and there are a lot of hungry people out there.

We could have the church swimming in a world of homeless people in need in no time. Give them something else to get interested in, help them forget all about barriers. Be great PR for the police department when they came to help. They might even have the phone numbers of some really good social workers, help these folks find jobs around there, all sorts of good things. Heck, the church might even have showers, and some have that big bathtub right up front.

Maybe we could make friends and suggest they not do the whole "abusing the people at the clinic" thing any longer while we are there.
