	A new way to irk the protesters! Tired of ads?

From Penn.:

quote: Every time protesters gather outside of our -- health center, our patients face verbal attacks from them. They see graphic signs meant to confuse and intimidate. They are sometimes blocked from entering the building and occasionally they are videotaped. They are offered anti-choice propaganda and free rides to the closest "crisis pregnancy center." Staff and volunteers are also seen as targets. We are all called murderers, are lectured to about committing sins, and are told we will pay the "ultimate price" for our actions. You can stand with others in the community against these acts of intimidation and harassment Here's how it works: You decide on the amount you would like to pledge for each protester (minimum 10 cents). When protesters show up on our sidewalks, --- will count and record their number each day from October 1 through November 30, 2005. We will place a signoutside the health center that tracks pledges and makes protesters fully aware that their actions are benefiting ---.

Honestly, while I'm not truly in favor of the organization (personally frowning upon abortion~), I have to say this is a brilliant way at striking back at the protesters (especially since a good many of them are... well, not as "Christian" as they purport to be~).

Clever responses to situations

I'm with you on clever responses but... will the protesters care?

This crowd isn't thinking straight to start with. I don't see how this will have any effect, indeed most probably won't understand.

The beauty of it is... if the protesters don't care, and stay around, they win--more money for them. If the protesters do care, and taper off, they win--they can run their business without the mob's interference.

For them, it's a clever win-win.

You assume they are going to generate significant amounts of $$$. I doubt they will.

That doesn't matter. The idea is to make them aware that they are actually helping the people they are trying to shut down.

What if a million protestors show up and impoverish the pro-choice movement, forcing them onto the street and ultimately to death. Talk about the backfire that would be!

I'm more worried that other, less savory, groups will pick up on this idea...
