It's interesting I read this...yesterday I went to Planned Parenthood. I use their services because I have a very high insurance deductable and PP is much more affordable than going to a local ob/gyn clinic or using my family practitioner for such services.
Anyway, there were a bunch of protesters in front of the clinic yesterday. One of the protesters was kneeling in the grass right in front of the parking entrance, holding her necklace cross up, and praying fervently. It startled me somewhat, especially because they all gave me the evil eye as I drove into the parking lot, but it really didn't surprise me. With all of the talk of defunding PP, abortion being an ever-present political topic, and the bullshit conservative outcry about PP's abortion statistics, I'm sure this type of activity will continue, especially leading up to the next election cycle. I'm astounded by the apathy displayed by Americans at the eroding rights of women in this country. It's disgusting.
