I use to live in the building directly across from that location, and while I am not going to defend Brian ( I know him personally) I will tell you that, that location has a history of anti-abortion protesters doing their best to humiliate anyone going there seeking services. Not all of them for abortions.
"protesters doing their best to humiliate anyone going there seeking services"
Well I can see that side of it too. When I was younger, some friends and I went to PP for pap smears and birth control pills. It was awkward being confronted by some of these people (not all of them tried to talk to you, some just prayed). Anywho, we just smiled and politely told them we weren't getting abortions. I guess times have changed, folks are really uncivil. And this guy was definitely out of line, the ladies had a right to protest. I think he has a screw loose, probably mentally ill.

This logic only works if you ignore what prayer is and what the " protesters " were doing. At best, both sides were wrong and you are angry at Rep sims because of gender dynamics which I have never supported.
You dont get a pass for being a horrible person because you are a women.

Yea, your line here makes no sense. Good try though.

You have a warped idea of what a horrible person is. I'm quite familiar with the mindset of people like this woman who show up to pray the rosary I don't agree with their beliefs but they are genuine in their convictions. The problem is that opinions like yours are so simpleton(black and white thinking is for lazy thinkers) people are complex beings.

Your friend Brian is a rabid ideologue who comes off as quite disturbed.

My idea isnt warped at all. As he says in the video, she can pray at home of from her church.
Going to the clinic to pray is purposeful and partly meant as intimidation, as is her argument that she is praying to an all powerful being that can force you to burn for all eternity.
so which is worse, some guy yelling at you, or a prayer to an all powerful being ?????

Being genuine , does not make your convictions good or right. And that is my point, and why your lazy thinker comment reflects far more on you than me.
In short, I take religious people at their word. If they dont want me to, then they should rethink their strategies.

Sorry, you lefties do not get to dictate where and when someone can pray.
What do you imagine these women and young girls are praying that you are so terrified of it?

Im not scared at all, im taking them at their word about their own beliefs. In a court of law, thats actually what you get tried on. Its the reason why people can get out of criminal liability, or be judged for it.
If you as a religious person genuinely believe an all powerful being is going to exact his revenge for breaking his rules, thats a threat.

So you believe these young girls and women are praying for God to exact revenge?
The woman with the three young girls was praying forrepresentative Sims. My guess is for God to soften his heart and open his eyes.
What a disrespectful piece of crap. He needs therapy because he is obviously an unhappy person. jazzy jeff you have some balls for defending him I must say...even though you say you’re not it sure sounds like you are.
Thank you!
And I was not defending his actions, I merely pointed out that this PP location has been notorious over the years for protesters attempting to humiliate those trying to enter. That is wrong as well.
