Oh Traci, I'm so sorry you dealt with that.
near my home there was a clinic that tended to have pro-life protesters demonstratating all the time. It was a HUGE building with a AAA, a dentist... blah blah... it is/was also the only 'blood draw lab' on my side of town.

When my son was about two, I needed to have blood drawn every month while I was taking this medication.
Most times I got in without incident as they had to stay on the side walk on the street, not in the parking lot.

One day, I have the day off, I have my two year old, and his 7 yr old cousin. I go to drive in, very slowly take a right into the lot...(because I drive like a granny)... some protestor lays his sign flat on my windshield. His very graphic fetus sign.

My niece get so scared , starts to cry.. my son, has no idea whats going on. I roll down the window, Please remove your sign. he throws graphic things into my car, and someone else put their sign in my view. I pull in, I get out.
What are you doing?

We want you to know what you are doing to your unborn child!
My unborn? I'm getting a blood test, and I have two children in the car! One of whom NOW thinks youre about to skin her!
No she doesnt she knows better.
Oh, you think so?
I go to get back in the car.. someone walks up to her window, sign down.. honey we... she screams! Auntie, they're gonna kill me!!!

Did they back off? No. What are we supposed to do?
I'm all for you supporting your opinion, but for pete's sake. THINK.
I did clinic support. I've seen them bully a woman, harrass men going to get dental work done...

But if,imo, your point is to keep the children safe, dont fargin endanger them!
