Planned Parenthood 2018 09 25

 

September 25 2018. About 50-60 local activists showed up on University Ave in front of the Planned Parenthood office to show their support for the organization. The rally was called in response to the beginning of the "40 days of life" campaign by the so-called "pro-life" movement. About 25 counter-protesters from the reactionary movement showed up along with almost as many police officers. The protests were heated but no violence erupted. Police physically blocked groups from clashing at times. No one was arrested.

Neighbors seemed generally supportive of the activists as did the Planned Parenthood staff. One sign carried by a demonstrator was especially telling. Only 3 percent of Planned Parenthood's services involve. The rest consist of birth control and treatment of diseases. Love and prayer earn't going to reduce the number of abortions. Birth control will. Perhaps the pro-lifers would get better results if they gave donations to Planned Parenthood to expand their preventative services. But then it was never about any life, it was about control of womens' bodies. In the words of the demonstrators, Not the church, not the state, people must decide their fate.
