There are class issues here as well since Planned Parenthood provides a range of services to women who might not otherwise be able to afford them.
Wealthy women do not have to run through a gauntlet of intimidation and threat of violence to access the same legal health care.
And the same people behind these protests are the ones fighting hardest against any increase in services, to welfare, WIC, child are, Headstart, education that would afford e smallest measure of dignity and security these same women. Hell, they are the ones who are always howling for any and all social services to be cut.
They aren't interested in the women becoming independent and contributing members of society anymore than they are in the fetuses becoming that.
They only care about the control they can exert.
