There's a protest at Planned Parenthood, just outside of Flint, MI

I saw the report on a Flint Police Operations Facebook post. I steeled myself to click on the comments and was very pleasantly surprised to see that every single comment I read was outraged at the protest, and some saying they wished they had known about this because they would have planned a counter protest.

So I started to wonder, what would these protesters do if a group of 'open carry' pro Planned Parenthood people showed up, openly carrying, to protect the Planned Parenthood workers?? Hmmmmm.

1. I would not want supporters of PP carrrying guns like the RW patriots did

after the shooting of the Marine recruiters offices. yet have to admit it is tempting to some degree.

2. I definitely would not like to see it, either, but the scenario causes me to ponder.

We do still have those open carry people standing at the driveway to our local recruitment office, too. Funny thing is, they are at such a distance from the office, and they are always sitting around, smoking and talking, I doubt they'd even notice anything amiss, or be able to get there in time to prevent an attack.

3. Doctors and other staff at many clinics have carried for many years.

Usually, the carry is concealed. The anti-abortionists Will kill you. They have a track record for doing just that.

The act of OC should be done very advisedly.

Good luck finding some of them!

(What, has nobody ever noticed that the political candidates rated low by NARAL are pretty invariably rated high by the NRA, and vice versa?)

Planned Parenthood would tell them to, ah ... go away.

I think the anti-PP demonstrators would be sure they had died and inexplicably gone to hell.
