Support your local abortion clinic, courtesy of pro-lifers

Planned Parenthood has always attracted its fair (or perhaps unfair) share of protesters hell bent on doing the right thing regardless of who they hurt. This, needless to say, can be quite annoying, especially considering that pro-life protesters have a habit of using grotesque pictures to make their point. Well some Planned Parenthood locations got tired of it and decided to try to turn lemons into lemonade. Pledge-a-picket was their answer, it is a program where you can pledge to pay your local Planned Parenthood money based on how many picketers show up to protest abortion. At present the Planned Parenthood featured in the story has raised $1200 through this method.

Needless to say, the protesters are rather miffed by the idea that their effort is funding the very organization they seek to protest. This leaves them in the uncomfortable position of having to choose between stopping protesting to stop the funds or continue protesting knowing that they are, in effect, giving money to Planned Parenthood. It's enough to make a young atheist girl cry (from laughter).

Neighboring businesses, particularly restaurants whose patrons are often turned off by pictures of chopped up babies, are happy at the prospect that the picketers days may be numbered. Similarly anyone who stands a chance of being harassed by protesters as they go into or come out of a Planned Parenthood building will be glad to know the picketers now have incentive to back off.
