So in closing, yes, I see a HUGE difference in the two issues. If the abortion protesters had chosen to use their rights peacefully, then there would have been no problem. But they didn't. They used them to intimidate and harass.

German police turned water cannons on school students outside the US consulate today during their first clashes with demonstrators protesting against the war in Iraq.
Violence erupted when some protesters broke off from a peaceful march of about 20,000 pupils in Hamburg and headed to the US consulate, where police said Palestinians armed with wooden sticks joined them and began attacking police securing the building.

In New York City, around 100,000 people marched at lunchtime from Times Square to Greenwich Village's Washington Square Park, filling 20 city blocks.
A few clashes took place as police chased and surrounded a small group who broke away from the main march.

WHY SMASH THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM?
The World Economic Forum is an exclusive, invite-only organization composed of political leaders, trade ministers and corporate CEOs from around the world. Incorporated in 1971, the WEF acts as a 'think tank' and driving force behind the global economy. The WEF's summits allow the richest and most powerful corporations in the world to mingle with trade representatives from nations, and with each other, to make business deals and determine the global political and economic policies. The economic and political elites who come together at the WEF are neither elected public officials nor concerned philanthropists looking to aid the poor and disadvantaged of the world. They are capitalist scum looking for new markets to exploit and faster ways to turn a profit, completely unaccountable to the public.
DISRUPTIVE PROTEST IS ONLY THE BEGINNING...
