There were about 30-40 of us all together. At this PP there are "pro-choice escorts" (they actually where shirts that say this) and some of them were nice and some of them tried to intimidate us. As we were praying a nice jogger lady flipped us off, a young black man yelled some obscene things to us, people pointed and people laughed.
Some other people came and said the rosary on the sidewalk. There was a protestant man and a catholic man that stood out on the sidewalk begging women not to have the abortions and trying to tell them about the places they could go for help.
A man that worked in the PP came out and walked to his car for a cig, as he was walking he knocked the fliers out of the protestant hands and onto the ground and laughed, as he walked back he paused to cuss the man out and shove him around.
I counted 9 individual women and 3 groups of women that went in that day. Every time one would walk by I swallowed tears and bile and looked each woman in the eye, silently pleading for her to stop what she was doing. One woman as she walked by spat on us and 3 others called us names, giving the "escorts" a little chuckle.
When we were done and walked back we all shook hands with the "escorts", the nice ones and the creepy/rude one and wished them all a wonderful day. Once we got back to the car I couldn't stop myself anymore I cried for a long time and couldn't eat for hours (I have a verrrrryyyyyy strong stomach)
There are a few points to me telling you all this:
1) Liberals/pro-choice people who spout tolerance, learn some.
2) When you see people praying, whether you are Atheist, Christian, Conservative or Liberal, show some respect and don't be rude.
3) People who are pro-life: I talk about this issue a lot and i have always been very pro-life but after this experience I realize that you have to do more than just talk about it, you have to try to help people.

Couldn't be for a pap smear, mammogram, fertility treatment, or for genital warts or an STD... or condoms... or birth control...
Or a routine physical...
No, they were obviously there for abortions, because we all know that Planned Parenthood only offers abortion services, and any hospital in America would be absolutely happy to provide any of the above at a massively-discounted cost, or possibly for free.
Thank you, personwhoisaperson, for doing your damndest to silently shame women out of... getting free maxi pads?

How would you feel if a group of devil worshipers came to your church next Sunday and spouted off prayers to the devil as you made your way inside? It's a public sidewalk, just like the one at Planned Parenthood.
The fact that Planned Parenthood had to have escorts on hand to walk women in tells me that your little prayer group was doing a whole lot more than just praying. Even your "silently pleading with your eyes" was meant as an intimidation and yet you call that respectful? You don't see that as rude? You also don't have a clue why those women being escorted in were going to Planned Parenthood. They do a lot more than just abortions, a fact your kind doesn't seem to take into consideration when you try to intimidate.
