abortion clinics, with signs etc.....?

Nope I live in a very liberal and tolerant city

Yep. They call it the chain of life or some moronic thing. I don't THINK it's wbc level hatred but they do line up

Westboro Baptist Church, but I call them the Westboro Bastard Church.

But to answer the question in OP, no I haven't.

No but I have seen them other places. Every once in a while there would be a few people trying to rile up students around my university (I don't get it either).

Its weird, because I live in Canada, and the majority opinion from the government (even the conservative ones) seems to be "we aren't touching that"

Only in movies, really.

"Sir, this is an Arby's"

lots of those protestors actually use the services of planned parenthood and then go right back to protesting once they have had their own abortion because the protestors believe that only they had a valid reason for getting an abortion

---

man, lit clinics on fire near where i live.

Wish I could join them sometime

It's the same logic of chainsmokers who want cigarettes banned - punting personal decision-making and responsibility to someone else.

I remember them coming onto my campus back in college once, having their grade school aged kids help them hold up a bunch of gore to try to turn people away from abortion. I haven't seen it too much elsewhere, thankfully.

There are billboards and stuff. No protesters really. When I lived in the city where there actually is an abortion clinic there were some protesters sometimes

---

AK means Alaska just FYI. So many people make that mistake. I think Arkansas is AR

yall should ask those protesters if they would be wiling to adopt and raise those babies. im sure they would be singing a different tune...

Yes, I grew up right by an abortion clinic which is actually right across the street from a Catholic school and literally every morning theyd be out there with their aborted fetus pictures yelling at schoolchildren to not get abortions

Then every Saturday theyre out there for several hours praying. Several drag their children along with them. Ive driven by in the morning and then a few hours later to see the same group of people and the same children who look absolutely miserable.

Imagine wasting all that time and making your kids grow up to fucking hate you for making them stand in a hot parking lot every Saturday instead of doing fun kid stuff lol

They have also paid for a giant billboard in a busy part of town that went up last summer saying ALL lives matter. Born and unborn

---

Yes. In my city (St. John's, Canada) every few months there are one of these

Every time (for the last 3+ years, based on what I witness) there had been a MAXIMUM of 7 people (city is 200,000+, not including 50,000+ in the surrounding area)

They get yelled at a lot, but they persist I guess

I mean there are other options. Some states have programs that can help the mom with the adoption process a lot.

Nah theyd rather just teach abstinence only sex education and restrict access to birth control, causing even more unwanted pregnancies and even more abortions.

---

Yes, they were there for a month outside of a planned parenthood. Got more amusing when pro-choice supporters started protesting right next to them.
