From an abortion clinic escort:
The crazy protesters (ie the women) had just arrived though, and once they saw us out back with a young woman who had obviously been crying, one of the crazies (Rosary Lady) started saying, very loudly, “You don’t have to do this,” and such forth. Well, PM very snarkily replied “We’re not.” Rosary Lady then tried to get them to go next door to the “Mother Child Welcome Centre” but PM told her, in an unimpressed tone, that they had already been. That was when their ride showed up. Before they got in the car, PM turned to me and said, in an explanatory way (as if she owed me an explanation!) that Patient was too far along in her pregnancy and that’s why they hadn’t been able to get an abortion.
It was a strange experience. First of all it was the closest I’ve ever come to crying at this job, and secondly I think it’s the maddest I’ve ever been at a protester. She should have stopped her bullshit when she heard that they weren’t going through with it. She’s not having the abortion – what more do you want? Do you have to try to brainwash her as well?

In fact, most crisis pregnancy centers offer women tangible help with their pregnancies- everything from baby items and diapers to a place to live. This was the help they were offering the woman.
If there is nothing wrong with a woman changing her mind, why was the escort close to tears at a woman not getting an abortion?
