Pledge-a-Picket at Planned Parenthood

i passed their handheld signs
went through their picket lines
they gathered when they saw me coming
they shouted when they saw me cross
i said why don’t you go home
just leave me alone – Ani

Anti-choice protesters make it very difficult for Planned Parenthood clinics to provide information, support and a choice for women in need. Protesters work in the most egregious ways to emotionally wreck these women, many of whom are already suffering tremendously. So, when i saw that Planned Parenthood started a campaign called Pledge-a-Picket, i had to pledge. Basically, you can pledge to contribute based on the number of picketers that visit. Thus, every picketer gains Planned Parenthood money by engaging in their egregious behaviors. Their activities are no longer purely destructive – they are inverted to help PP do its work!

Please join me – pledge some picketers.

Note: i know this happened last year too – this is a new campaign that ends November 30
