Supporters of Dr. LeRoy Carhart's abortion clinic outnumbered opponents during a nearly five-hour protest today in Bellevue.

About 50 anti-abortion demonstrators prayed at the south side of the clinic. Some were repeating the Hail Mary and Our Father. Some knelt on the ground. Many held rosaries.

About 100 supporters of abortion rights gathered in front of the clinic, many well ahead of the 8 a.m. demonstration start by anti-abortion groups.

By 1 p.m. most of the abortion protesters were gone. About that time, pro-choice advocates began to depart, too. An hour later, just about 20 of the pro-choice advocates remained.

Both sides had promised a peaceful demonstration. And that's what it was.

"No conflicts at all," Bellevue police Lt. Chuck Clark reported. "It was great."

1. In a culture of Slavery to Economic Royalists and their Wars of Choice, Women's Right to Choose

is more of a "sacrament" of Freedom than killing and being killed for TPB.

2. Thank you for your work there, Steve

In a couple weeks I'll start as an outreach volunteer with PP. Those of us who support choice cannot let our guard down.

3. This guy trusts Women! It's men that I no longer trust.

4. Someone should hold up a sign

"Pro-Lifers murder post-term fetuses"

5. 50 anti abortion protesters from 17 states

That comes down to less than three per state. You know that they are circling the drain when this is all that they can muster. If their "movement" were so popular, you would think that they would be able to come up with more supporters.

7. Please stop call them "pro-lifers"

I hope we can all get in the habit of calling them "anti-choicers" instead. It's really two entirely different things.

8. Point taken

Considering the call they put out for anti-choice advocates to show up from around the nation, they fell on their faces!
