They are still out it: 1200 protest women's clinic
You'd think this crap stopped in the 1980s.

1,200 picket women's clinic
Group sues Aurora over sign limits

August 26, 2007
By MATT HANLEY Staff Writer
AURORA -- The rhetoric continued to ramp up Saturday during the largest protest yet of the Planned Parenthood clinic scheduled to open next month on the far East Side.

Police estimated that 1,200 people peacefully picketed near New York Street and Oakhurst Drive -- with the large majority being anti-abortion advocates carrying signs, praying the rosary or chanting slogans.

Both sides of the abortion issue state their cases Saturday during a demonstration near the Planned Parenthood facility that is set to open next month on the far East Side of Aurora. The Pro-Life Action League also is in the midst of a 40-day vigil to protest the women's clinic.

They heavily outnumbered the 20 or so pro-choice advocates, although each side promised that every person in attendance was standing in for dozens -- or hundreds -- who wanted to be there.

2. Yeah, Of course.
These conservatives can't or won't trust a woman to make the right decision regarding their bodies. They trust corporations to make the right decisions about our lives.
