1. I don't care about the dyspeptic looking people

standing near the clinic, thumbing their beads. After all, their religion commands them to pray for the "innocents," even though Rome's abandonment of the Limbo concept means those "innocents" are having their tickets punched for heaven, unlike the mournful souls outside trying to bribe their way out of hell by thumbing their beads at the abortion clinics.

That doesn't bother me. The people who come for the sole purpose of howling abuse at women bother me. Anyone who comes anywhere near the women going into the clinic bothers me.

A government that doesn't know where the line is between protest and terrorism bothers me.

3. I guess their god doesn't hear them at home

They have to go out in public for him to pay attention.

6. 1st amendment

applies here - as long as they aren't blocking access to the property, etc. You're allowed to be pissed off just as much as they are allowed to pray....
