Wish me luck...protesting the protestors tomorrow.
I'm going to my local women's clinic which provides abortions every Tuesday, and am going with a friend to hold one sign that says "I SUPPORT YOUR CHOICE" and the other "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE". I've had a few death threats since early this year, and had a few pro-life psychos follow me home, so I'm hoping my doing this doesn't lead to anything violent. These nuts are so looney, it's hard to say what they'll do next.

I'm so sick of women being made to feel guilty about their choice - like no one supports their decision. It's hard enough to do as it is.

8. Being intimidated by bullies is a shortcut to hell
never mind what the road is paved with.

We have to stand up to these bullies. We have to be in their faces, telling them they're wrong and we won't be pushed around.

Yes, a bully is likely to lash out. However, most of them are cowards and will crumple as soon as we turn on our heels and fight back.

If you're followed home by some of this scum, take a detour into a fast food or convenience store (well lit with lots of people) and ask them to call the police.

You can be brave without being stupid, and you don't want these pigs to know where you live.

4. I seriously suggest
You drop the second sign "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE"
That message is targeted at the wrongdoers, and yes they are looney. You cant change them you will only invite grief on yourself. For they will cast the stone and they are sinners. Not point provoking this group of people. They usually are prone to voilence.

7. Yes, I echo the sentiment please do be careful.
I carried a sign in Florida that said Keep Abortion Legal and ended up getting chased to my car by one of these whackos. They are very prone to violence despite what they proclaim to be supporting.

Just put your good running shoes on and bail if it gets ugly. You never know who's side the cop that shows up is going to be on.

9. I'd drop the "Sin" poster.
Instead, how about stastics?

Under Clinton, abortions were down 25%, under *, they're up almost 40%.

Double check my numbers, the data may have changed slightly.
