Is holding big media events outside abortion clinics during pickets counterproductive? It can be. According to an abortionist named Caleb Barrington:
“They [pro-lifers]would stage a picket at the office and would at the same time make it a media event. They would call the press, they would all arrive, and the next day I would get twice as many phone calls because people would know I was doing the abortions – so, in fact, they made my name known.”
