What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

I love how the prochoice landlord and his friends turned the tables on the antichoice crowd!

Was there a photo with the article? I couldn't see anything if there was. :(

Yeppers.

So long as they don't start it, I'm all for it. (But really, calling people who have NOT called you is jumping the gun.)

I will knit that man a trophy.

But when the protesters showed up at his daughter's middle school in Rockville, Maryland, last September, they took things too far.

One large banner featured his photo, his name, his phone number, and the words "Please STOP the Child Killing" -- even though he's the clinic's landlord, not the doctor. The posters didn't name his children but, since they share his last name, it's an easy connection to make. (Since the protesters did not set foot on school property -- though their graphic signs and photos of mangled fetuses were visible to students -- the presence was not against the law.)

I understand that prolifers have the right to protest and I respect peaceful protest. This steps over the line and puts them in WBC territory.

What the antichoicers did is way over the line. It is one thing to protest at the clinic - and quite another to seek out the landlord's family and protest at the school. And I cringe to think what kind of vile things they would have said if they'd been able to pick his kids out. If they care so much about children . . . oh right, the ones who are already born don't matter. This reminds me of the FreedomWorks/D.C. Douglas fiasco a couple of years back.

You said it. It has happened before at my daughter's preschool, there was an anti-abortion rally right outside the child development center where she attended a few years ago. There was a back entrance that all of the parents used, and I was thankful for it that day. When I returned, the group was gone, photos and all. I was relieved, but disturbed that something like this happened.

Love the counter-protest, which is quite brilliant.

Wonder what he would think of flyers with graphic info about women who died from pregnancy complications or illegal abortions?

I'm a clinic escort at that clinic and I'm hoping I'll get the chance to do my residency there. c:

They have canned answers that range from evasive to hateful. But people do react more to stories of actual women who died than to pictures of fetuses.

I really admire the landlord's statement that they have the right to protest in front of the clinic, because you know menacing phone calls are the least of his safety worries. The presence of protests and lack of a bubble zone make it a lot easier for attacks to happen.

I read that article a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised that pretty much all of the comments were supportive of the landlord! Usually the comments section is a depressing view, but not that time.

[Californiacicle]

Good for him. What a great counter!

[Feberin]

That's awesome! What a great response to anti-abortion people who really stepped way over the line.
