My Feelings on Planned Parenthood Protesters
Honestly I never knew about any of this until just last week. I was driving down forest park and I saw protesters holding signs reading "Pray for the babies." I did not even know that they were standing in front of planned parenthood because I did not know we had one so close to our campus. After the class talk we had I am not really happy about these protesters. I understand that people have a lot of feelings about abortions but they should keep in mind that no woman WANTS to have an abortion. It is something they have to live with for the rest of their life, and in most cases is something that has to be done. Having the choice of losing a child is very hard to deal with, so having people yell at them and protest about it does not make the situation easier. At the end of the day, until abortion is banned, women are going to still have them. Protesting is not going to change their mind, because when they pull up to Planned Parenthood, their minds are almost 100% set on having an abortion.

I agree. It breaks my heart that women, already making a difficult decision, have to be attacked by complete strangers for the decision they are making.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, it is a strange concept to me that these protestors feel very morally sound in their decision to shame these women, while their time could be better spent on efforts to lower the level of unplanned pregnancies, or improving the American adoption system, though I doubt that they care much about either of those things.
