Just an update from my post last night the W'04 sticker did indeed come off this morning.

Today we met a bunch of Pro-lifers in Kenosha for breakfast and then prayer in front of the abortion clinic. They're a wonderful and dedicated bunch, and we were even joined by a priest - a young one at that. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the signs. They hold signs while they pray, and I'm not really a sign holder. I held two while I was there (I switched off part of the way through). The first sign was one that said
Abortion
Birth Control
Cancer
Danger! Danger!
Then I switched with one of the ladies for a sign that was the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
It was an overall good experience. When we pray out in front of a clinic in Chicago most of the time people just stare at you when you go by, with an occasional person that flips you off or screams at you. Today there were a two (that I counted) thumbs down, but many more thumbs up and positive honks. It was good to see that.

About Me
- catholicandgop
- Catholic and politically conservative, I graduated with a BA in History (concentration in American) and Political Science. I'm between two parishes; one in Wisconsin that is fairly traditional, and one in Illinois that is fairly liberal. I teach CCD. I work in the food service industry, which basically means I'm working in fast food until I find a better job. I'd like to work for the church somehow. Right now I'm working on getting my teaching certification, although I'm unsure thats the correct path for me. This blog is as random as I am. I hope you enjoy.

Sounds like what we experience at our annual March for Life. Then we have the annual protesters who scream vile stuff at us.
I don't think I ever knew anyone personally who did this at an abortion clinic. Good for you!
I always feel uncomfortable doing it, but I try to when I have a chance (and when I wake up early enough). Usually end up going a couple times a year.
