\"Protesters.jpg\"<\/span>Scot,<\/p>\n

Most days, as I leave my job at the community college, these people are
\nstanding at the intersection holding up very large posters of aborted
\nfetuses. Yesterday, there was only one poster holder, but several
\nstudents were holding up blankets to block the view of the poster. As
\nthe poster holder tried to move out of their way they also moved. I had
\nmy camera so I took some pictures (it\u2019s a long stoplight).\u00a0 <\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

My questions: how do you feel about this kind of protest to
\nabortion?\u00a0 I actually pass by another one everyday that\u2019s in front of
\nPlanned Parenthood. Is this an effective protest?\u00a0 What is their main
\nobjective?\u00a0 Who are these people?\u00a0 Do they represent the church?\u00a0 Do
\nthey do more harm than good?\u00a0<\/b> <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span>Sincerely,<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
