Ignore the sign
A sign outside Planned Parenthood, 123 E. Indiana Ave., when protesters are present reads, “Please do not stop in the driveway and talk to the protesters. They are not affiliated with Planned Parenthood.”
Of course they’re not affiliated with Planned Parenthood. But why are they outside the facility? Because they know the truth as to what goes on inside the building: That unborn babies are being killed by abortion. They are willing to stand up for what is right.
Rather, I say, “Please ignore that sign, and don’t even enter the parking lot.” After all, former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson realized she was on the wrong side of the fence at her former facility in Bryan, Texas. She could not help but talk to the people from Coalition for Life. Her life changed, and she became pro-life.
When are the rest of the Planned Parenthood workers going to follow suit? Johnson wanted out of the facility badly, and so should all current employees. Johnson now stands on sidewalks outside Planned Parenthood facilities. She and others on the outside are there to help women choose life and not death.
