2. Only poor women have to tolerate this, so sad.

Why aren't these asses targeting the rich ob/gyns who do this for their rich clients all the time - because rich people are Gods and they cant touch them. They know the poor are vulnerable, these are the young women that can't afford to have children for the most part, so that's who they target with their fake shaming. They want to force the women to do what they want them to do - it's all about control and hate - they want to fuck up the young women because she's daring to buck them and their hate of women.

...for hours. Just to help those patients get safely into the clinic.

And the MAN bellowing at this poor woman going in? WTH? He's a MAN. HE will never be pregnant.

Men bellowing about abortion - especially to any woman - THAT should be illegal.

7. When you work as a clinic escort, you're not there to debate the protestors. You're there to protect

access and remove barriers for the most important person: The patient. It's not about you or the protestors. You just need to get the patient inside as quickly and humanely as possible. That's it.

you can bet plenty of people are as resilient as they need to be to handle this just fine. Keeping the spit in my mouth would be my biggest struggle.
