Again with the clinic stuff
Geez. It's like I have nothing else to talk about.

Apparently, some Planned Parenthood people were annoyed by this Post-Gazette article about the proposed buffer zone legislation. Honestly, I don't know why. The article seems fine to me, and if anything the picture of the creepy fuck of a protester that goes along with it just makes our case even more effectively. Incidentally, the guy in the picture is my favorite anti. On the first day that I escorted, back before the protesters started to recognize me, as I was walking into the clinic, this protester (we call him Al) called to me, "Jesus loves you! He wants your baby to live!" He likes to admonish us "young ladies" that we should "be glad [our] mothers didn't go in there, otherwise [we] wouldn't be here today!" The article doesn't give full justice to Al's bloody crucifix, but I think you can just make it out in the picture -- he's glued a little plastic fetus onto it next to Jesus. Al and his wife, Sal, come to the clinic every week.

But I digress. There's going to be a hearing about the legislation at City Council on Wednesday morning. It starts at 10, which sucks because I have class until 10:30, but I'm going to head over directly afterwards. You all are, of course, invited to join me. Should be good times.

You leaving from campus? Where do you want to meet?

My favorite was the heavy woman who brings her whole family. It's kind of surreal watching a middle aged woman shake her butt at people and shout nah-nah. (She had a disagreement with the volunteer coordinator)

I don't think I know her. Meredith brings her whole family, but she's quite skinny, so it must be someone else. There's plenty of good antis to go around.

In front of NSH at 10:30?
