"Abortion supporters" outnumber opponents 2 to 1 outside Dr. LeRoy Carhart's clinic

[usregimechange]

About 100 women's rights supporters were on hand Saturday outside an abortion clinic in Bellevue, Nebraska.


BELLEVUE, Nebraska (CNN) -- A woman walked slowly toward the door of the abortion clinic when a nearby protester screamed, "Don't kill your baby!" But the shouts on this day were drowned out by women's rights groups who gathered at the Abortion & Contraception Clinic of Nebraska in Bellevue, just south of Omaha.

"Welcome! Welcome! This clinic stays open," abortion supporters chanted in unison, their voices rising every time anti-abortion activists tried to shout at patients arriving at the clinic.

Anti-abortion groups, led by Operation Rescue, and supporters of abortion rights rallied Saturday outside the clinic operated by LeRoy Carhart, one of the nation's few remaining doctors who perform late-term abortions. Carhart was best friends with George Tiller, one of the world's most well-known doctors performing abortions.

Tiller was shot in the head at point-blank range on May 31 as services began at Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas. Scott Roeder, a 51-year-old anti-abortion activist, is charged in Tiller's killing. He has pleaded not guilty.

The rally in Bellevue came nearly three months to the day after Tiller's killing. A massive police presence, including heavily armed rapid-response teams, monitored the demonstrators. Streets were blocked off, and police kept both sides separated with buffer zones in between. Abortion rights supporters outnumbered their opponents nearly 2 to 1.

2. I Guess the Economy Has Gotten

SO MUCH BETTER that those anti-choice idiots have the time to sit out there to protest someone else's PRIVATE ISSUE. I didn't see these jackholes protesting the Wall Street crooks when the economy collapsed. Talk about MISPLACED PRIORITIES. :mad:
