@SuperSnekFriend @Turkleton @lykanthrocide the thing with many (not all, lately the ones in my area moved to the "free ultrasound" tactic) pro life activists is many use the PETA model of protests, while not protesting some of the other things that Planned Parenthood is caught doing. By the PETA model, I mean using shock value to try to "scare people straight", which many times comes off as nothing more than WBC style protesting.
Many are effective at making pro-abortion protesters lose their shit, and "shocking" people, leading to assaults and whatnot. A lot of people never looked into the WBC model, but at their peak they were winning lawsuits and court cases because the people protesting them were just as bad.
Yet what many of the ones I've seen (who prefer to do more than standing outside a Planned Parenthood with essentially gore pics) have done is set up entire frameworks and this is worth talking about. The "right to life" groups in my area have a whole framework of "pregnancy centers" that offer free ultrasounds and convince you to give up your unwanted kid as an adoption, and they have more of them than Planned Parenthood has locations around here. Even more interesting is how this is a tactic I see outside Planned Parenthood (which has protests daily even on weekdays), they will offer free ultrasounds.
