askye at 12:07am on 18/09/2005I saw this on alterjess 's lj.
Every time protesters gather outside of our Locust Street health center, our patients face verbal attacks from them. They see graphic signs meant to confuse and intimidate. They are sometimes blocked from entering the building and occasionally they are videotaped. They are offered anti-choice propaganda and free rides to the closest "crisis pregnancy center."
Staff and volunteers are also seen as targets. We are all called murderers, are lectured to about committing sins, and are told we will pay the "ultimate price" for our actions.
You can stand with others in the community against these acts of intimidation and harassment
Here's how it works: You decide on the amount you would like to pledge for each protester (minimum 10 cents). When protesters show up on our sidewalks, Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania will count and record their number each day from October 1 through November 30, 2005. We will place a signoutside the health center that tracks pledges and makes protesters fully aware that their actions are benefiting PPSP.
They give you the option of capping your pledge, which is what I did.

I mouthed off to some protesters (3 very old men, like it's their business) in front of a Morgantaler Clinic in Ottawa this May. It was very cathartic.

I used to temp at Planned Parenthood. When someone would call the switchboard with threats we were supposed to tape the calls. I'd argue with them.
