Harassment at Planned Parenthood
Freedom of speech is not freedom of harassment. It would be nice to see people who are against abortion do something constructive, like build a park with a playground and a preschool, a neighborhood store, a neighborhood restaurant, a neighborhood recreational center, maybe even a church with social services. Then surround the central park with nice apartment buildings for mothers and/or fathers with young children and pay one of them to stay home with their child.
So instead of harassing people on the street, go out fundraising. Show mothers and fathers with children that you support them, that you are willing to help them financially with food clothing and shelter and services to help them grow intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually.
