There is a group of people outside the Planned Parenthood here who are going to be there 24/7 protesting abortion for 40 days. What do you all think about that? Is it a good method of protest against abortion, or could a better one be had? Also, is there anything they could do that could better help those who are having abortions/getting abortions, or is this the best way?

NOTE: I DO NOT want to hear your thoughts on why abortion is or is not wrong. Those belong here, here, or here, but not in all three. What I want to know is your opinion on how abortion protests-- this one in particular-- are handled, and if there is a better way in stopping/controlling abortion, or even if it should/should not be controlled. But please don't tell me abortion is wrong, or that we don't know about a mother's circumstances, etc. Those belong on any of the other threads.

Picketing (most often in the forms of yelling and screaming) has never been a good method. It just gets people angry and defensive, even folks who are normally calm and collected. It brings out the worst in everyone. It's like there's a huge cloud of hate hovering over everyone, and it doesn't matter whose side you're on; you're victim to it.
