IMO, pro-life wackos that protest at abortion clinics and attempt to intimidate patients deserve to be attacked. Some of these same pro-life wackos have blown up clinics and shot doctors.
If I am on the jury, anyone that beats the crap out of a pro-lifer walks away scot free. Beating up pro-lifers is a net good for society.
At this point in time, she was not protesting nor was she doing anything to any patients. She was standing there with a camera and narrating what she saw.
I'm glad you will never be on a jury, you'd be weeded out of the jury pool in a heartbeat.
When I was in a car accident two years ago, they towed my car before the ambulance got there since it was a freeway off-ramp during rush hour, so I was just standing at the side of the road waiting for the ambulance. When they got there, they put a c-collar on and strapped me to a backboard. It was most likely a spectacle and since it's public property, anybody could have videotaped it and I never would have known. I don't even care b/c that's their business if they want to be nosy. I definitely would not have assaulted someone if I had seen it. And it's completely within their rights to photograph or videotape something happening in public, even if it has to do with receiving medical care.
Here's another example. A cashier at Walmart looked like a complete fool with crazy colored hair and long fingernails. A customer in the lane next to me (so it was behind me when I was facing the cashier) apparently took a picture of the cashier with her phone. The cashier called a supervisor and made a scene, she wanted the customer to delete the picture. But it's a public place, and if you are doing something out of the ordinary, people have every right to capture that on film.
Awesome. After Annie photographs Janelle's house and publishes it on Facebook as an example of a crack house, we'll be outside your doctor's office next time you visit, so we can tweet about your sexually transmitted diseases.
Hey, public place. It's our right. Right?

If that grandmother cares so much about children, her time would be better spent volunteering with neglected and at-risk kids, instead of being a pest outside of Planned Parenthood and attempting to harass, humiliate, and interfere with what are perfectly legal and legitimate medical services.
It's not up to you to dictate what this woman does with her time and which charity causes she wants to pursue.

Since nobody else seems to want to do the research, I did a little myself (it is my job, after all!). Whether or not YOU would mind being filmed, there are specific laws on the matter - and it seems she was violating at least one.
Most audio recordings without consent of one or all parties are illegal.
You cannot film or photograph if it interferes with police, fire, medical or emergency operations (since she was clearly interfering with medical/emergency operations, they could get her on that technicality)

There's a big difference between video-taping Tea Party people who are making a public display of themselves, and video-taping a person who is clearly in a medical emergency, or else they wouldn't be on a stretcher being loaded into an ambulance. You don't even see news media usually broadcasting victims of say a car accident being removed in stretchers. Why? Because it's unnecessary, ghoulish, and an invasion of privacy.
Not all trips in an ambulance are an emergency, just FYI.
FYI: It seems to be perfectly legal to take STILL photos of individuals, as long as they're in a public place... so provided she didn't try to enter the building, she could have taken pictures instead of video footage.
Those "tolerant" liberals - viciously attacking an elderly woman peacefully exercizing her 1st Amendment rights.
Democrats - why should we vote for you again?
Well, I'm no liberal or democrat. I just don't feel the need to stick my nose into other people's business. I certainly don't think it's right to video patients and spread rumors about them. Just as I defended Rand Paul's filabuster concerning the government's use of drones and our privacy, I'm defending this woman's. At least I'm going easy on Grandma, I think I said I'd shoot a drone if one came nosing around.

More hyperbole from you. This is comical.
A "botched abortion" sounds pretty serious. Are you calling those who have identified this as the cause for the ambulance liars?
