In their “Sexual Health + Identity” section, Teen Vogue\u00a0shares the story<\/a> of volunteer clinic escort Kara McGinley, who\u00a0presents\u00a0the nation’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood, as a place where women go to get “health care.” Pro-lifers who protest and counsel women outside abortion facilities are often peaceful and prayerful, but one would never know that from reading McGinley’s account. Instead she describes them as people who harass, shame, and confuse women. It’s thus McGinley and her crew’s job to ‘protect’ these women from the protesters. She\u00a0writes:<\/p>\n

Protesting is legal. It\u2019s our right as Americans to do so. It\u2019s our Freedom of Speech. But the issue is that most of the clinic protestors cross the line to harass and bully. Our goal is to get the patients in the door safely and block out the protestors and their signs as much as possible. Another tactic is to distract the protestors by interacting with them. If they\u2019re busy arguing with us, they don\u2019t target the patient. It all sounds pretty simple, but it is not that easy. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
