Stories from women going to abortion clinics. The first one is great.

10. I suppose so.

I'm just thinking that the woman going into the clinic shouldn't spray somebody with pepper spray because some asshat is hollering.

I went with a friend of mine at least 10 years ago. This was a smallish town in WI. Sometimes there was 3 or 4 people protesting outside the PP clinic. The signs they had were horrible, and they were loud. One of the women reached out as if to grab my friend or me and I told them if they touched us, I was calling the police. She backed off. Later when we came out those people were across the street, and there was a cop car parked in front of them. Neither of us was interested in getting into an altercation with those people, whether vocal or physical. I decided that my friend needed my support more than I needed to stand there and argue. Later in the summer they would show up around town at various corners, and now there were 10 of them. They were in front of the dollar store once and I had to stop at the stop sign. My 5 year old sons saw the signs and started crying and got scared. The signs were HUGE pictures of dead and maimed babies. Word got around and I found out that other moms I knew had scared kids also. Cops were called, petitions signed. Eventually they were made to stop using those signs because of some ordinance against indecent or something signs - I don't remember exactly.
