Parenthood Clinic Opening Met With Protesters
April 2, 2012 3:42 PM


FERNDALE (WWJ) - Dozens of people lined up outside the Planned Parenthood in Ferndale on Monday, as they protested against the newly opened clinic.

Protestors chanted, prayed and carried signs to voice their disapproval over the first clinic of its kind in Oakland County. President and CEO of the clinic’s local chapter, Lora Lamerand, said that it will offer many services — but not abortion.

“We will do breast exams, provide birth control, check people who ask for it for sexually transmitted infections and we’re hoping to offer services to the LGBT community of Ferndale,” Lamerand said.

Monica Miller, who organized the protest, said she’s aware the clinic will not offer abortions, but it still doesn’t change her position on the matter.

How many children do you have? If you don't want more children (or any at all) , how are you preventing that from happening? Are you fertile? How often do you have sexual relations? Questions too personal for you? Too bad.

Oh, unless you have been living under rock, it's not just abortion anymore. Moring After Pills kills babies. Plain old regular BC pills are abortion too! Abstinence for the unmarried. Married? Sex must have consequences, even for you. It's your DUTY to make babies. You have a ring on your finger. That will solve ALL problems. God tells you how many kids you should have. NOT YOU.

Rich people can have two kids because they can afford not to. If you are poor, you are doomed to have 5+ kids, whether you want or can afford them.

"These people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?"

It will have broad support from the community.

These people were probably bussed in.
