One abortionist talks about how antiabortion protest that his clinic actually led to an increase in business:
“They 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.”
This indicates that large media events in front of clinics, as opposed to peaceful sidewalk counseling, often work against the pro-life movement and, in fact, lead to more abortions.
