I know that about 5 or 6 of them were there for abortions because the part of our group that was there for counseling asked them, and they answered yes. The rest i don't know.

Yep. That's what it was. What a very mature reply.
The wackos associated with this college oppose birth control because it encourages sex, which makes the devil dance.
We oppose birth control because it encourages sex before marriage, and we, as Catholics, believe in abstinence, which, if you think about it, is birth control. And it's 100% effective.

Your church doesn't believe in birth control after marriage either but that doesn't stop a lot of Catholics from using it.

You are a teenager and think you know whats right for everyone on the planet who isn't you. That isn't something to be real tolerant of, it's something you outgrow.
Or, good grief, maybe some poor woman was going there to get tested for STIs and had those creeps staring at her and pleading with her not to do it. What if a woman was intimidated not to go--all that praying & protesting and ending up saving Chlamydia trachomatis from a nice round of antibiotics, and possibly rendering a woman infertile.

The bible thumping freaks would say "She would never have contracted a disease if she wasn't having sex"

I support birth control because I think the lack of it discourages sex within marriage. Also I think it is a great way to allow humans live sustainably and peacefully on this earth by controlling population through individual decisions about family size rather than relying on the old standards of famine, pestilence, and war. The second reason is more important than the first, but the first has been personally important to me.
You ask people if they are having abortions? WOW...the fact that you feel you have a right to ask is amazing.
How would the OP feel if a group of atheists went to a Catholic Church to protest and started asking all the priests if they are pedophiles?? Would he preach about tolerance for the atheists?

Okay. So, a group of pro-lifers just asked them "are you here for an abortion?"
And, they answered "yes" to a group that they knew would make their decision all the more difficult by shaming and judging them?
So, considering that nationally, 3% of PP's provided services are abortion, what are the odds that there would be so many women coming in for abortions, whom were willing to admit to you that's what they were there for, for the duration of your rally?
I don't believe you. I'm sorry.

hahaha thanks for the laugh.
Well, again, your story comes across as implausible, and shows a total lack of knowledge at what Planned Parenthood actually does most of the time. Facts that you seem to ignore to play the "victim of intolerance" card.

Yeah, I know. I was raised Catholic. You know how many of my former friends from church or from youth group ultimately went on to conceive out of wedlock? ... more than my non-Catholic friends.
Is this an indictment on Catholics in general? No. However, it highlights something: reality. This is a reality that was always here, it's just that once upon a time women were shamed into never talking about it, or marrying men that they didn't want to marry to cover it up.
You're entitled to your beliefs and I'll make no effort to sway you from them as it's not my right to do so; but it is my right, and I'm entitled to tell you that these beliefs are unrealistic, fantastical, naive, and antiquated.
