Of course, this discussion raises two questions:

1) How do these advocates of “alternatives to abortion” feel about adoption by same-sex couples?

2) If they’re really just trying to save innocent lives, how come they’re not protesting outside of the headquarters of Koch Industries?

UPDATE: More on the folks who pester Planned Parenthood. This is a crowd that inspires warm and fuzzy feelings, no?
