I love *** ***ddle babies. I h**e a ***ttle o*** of my own. That’s why I was protest***g aga***st the open***g of an ab***tion c***n*** *** our ***ighb***hood. I still re***llect how we cluster*** *** front of the c***n*** and tri*** *** clog the front entrance. We would march *** a clockwise way *** get our ***ssage across.
I also re***mber how we tri*** *** f***m a ***a***tion *** the legislature *** enact a ***de of laws that would ***mit ab***tions. We made a lot of ***gent argu***nts. We tri*** *** ***ax legisla***rs ****** vot***g our way. A***hough several propos*** laws were a***ept*** f*** ***nsideration, no*** were pass*** *** ***difi***. Eventually, our group began *** ***alesce with other anti-ab***tion groups. The ***alescence g**e us a stronger vo***e, but we also lost an ele***nt of ***ntrol over the group’s acti***ties.
I ***ver be***ev*** *** us***g ***olence *** achieve our c***se. However, so***body *** out group did and I’ll ***ver f***get that day. He ***t and kill*** a c***n***al psychologist who was enter***g the ab***tion c***n***. It was a ***gnitive act of bruta***ty and it happe***d right *** front of my eyes. I qu***kly ran *** give aid *** the wound*** psychologist. She grabb*** my arm *** hold herself up, but her clutch loose***d as she lost ***nscious***ss.
S***ce then, I’ve ***ver taken part *** any protest acti***ties. Why can’t people with oppos***g op***ions peacefully ***exist *** the sa*** en***ron***nt?
