to protect other women from religious fascists.

would be standing at the top of the stairs leading to Planned Parenthood, yelling at the crowd "I'm going to have an abortion JUST TO PISS YOU OFF" and then standing back watching their heads explode.

P.S. I don't even have a uterus anymore, but what the heck, they wouldn't know it.

P.S.S. On the other hand, would this be considered "fostering a riot"? Damn, that takes all the fun out of it.

What is the matter with people that they can't just mind their own damned personal business?

Oh, and one last observation: The Supreme Court justices obviously didn't take the safety of women obtaining medical services (of any kind) at PP in favor of allowing nut-jobs to accost women. SHAME!

All this would do would be to make it harder for women trying to enter the clinic.

because I don't really know the procedure. But how do the antis know what days abortions are scheduled? Is this something the clinics broadcast? And do they only do it on certain days? I'm not trying to be snarky, but I really don't know how this works.

as a fake prospect. No, not broadcast.

"This area is monitored for security and customer-service reasons."

Let's see how courageous those "counselors" are, when they can watch themselves screaming, waving signs and stalking women on Youtube.

At Planned Parenthood, abortions represent a very small percentage of what they do.
Second, there generally are camera set up to monitor activity, generally watched by a guard inside. Does not change any behavior. why would it.

The threat they are using is: "We get personal. We know your face."

The health center could do exactly the same: "We are watching you. Do anything controversial and your face ends up on the Internet."

And yes they know. The cameras (at the clinic where I escort) are totally visible.

I haven't read of abortion protests recently, so I am out of the loop.

The clinics serve the public. As a result, each individual protester has to be told to leave the property in order for them to be trespassing.

You leave the "screamers" on the sidewalk, and put a nice clump of 4 people silently standing in front of the clinic door. When those 4 people are asked to leave, they don't, since a cop is not usually present. When the police do arrive, they move. And are quickly replaced by 4 different people, repeating the process.

What you described is theoretically no different than what we have today with the buffer zones-- except doing that today might violate state laws. My point is that the USSC did NOT tell states that they had to tolerate games like this on private property, but only that the states could not block protest on public property. So, for example, a state could make it a felony to do as you have described. Further, an officer does not need to be present to personally witness any of this stuff. A perfectly legal video of a protestor refusing to leave private property when asked is all the officers need.

The issue is that some planned parenthood locations are very much public property, but there you go.

which isn't practical without hundreds of protesters.

The US Supreme Court thinks terrorism is just fine -- as long as it's levelled at women.

America sinks even lower....

Of course, their buffer zone is perfectly constitutional.

women, who are already escorts, my hat is off to you.

Good thing so many of DU's pro choice people are also supporters of the Pope. That way they win no matter what, you know?
