Some clinics have certain people who do certain jobs and answer certain questions women ask. When the nurse at our local abortion clinic arrived to work Tuesday [May 20]\u00a0morning I asked her, &#8220;Are you the nurse that tells the women that it don&#8217;t hurt?&#8221; She didn&#8217;t answer. So I said to her that &#8220;whoever is telling them that it doesn&#8217;t hurt is lying to them.&#8221; She went into the clinic. 10 minutes later the same nurse walked up to me and this is what happened.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Following the altercation at the beginning of the video, one of the abortion workers became more and more agitated speaking to Paul, who then said, &#8220;I want to help you.&#8221;\u00a0 He repeatedly\u00a0offers them help throughout the video.<\/p>\n<p>Another worker accused Paul of &#8220;stalking&#8221; and said, &#8220;You need to watch what you&#8217;re doing, because we know every single thing that you do.\u00a0 You wipe your f****** ass, we know&#8230;we know everything about you&#8230;I just want to let you know that you need to watch your f****** ass.&#8221;\u00a0 She also claims there are &#8220;legal things&#8221; she can do to protect herself from the Paul&#8217;s pro-life work.<\/p>\n<p>There is no one more equipped to handle this kind of hostility than Paul, who has saved <a title=\"who has saved numerous babies during 40 Days for Life campaigns\"

has an amazing story of becoming pro-life and coming back into the Catholic Church after years of being lost, so he understands the pain and brokenness many lifestyles can cause.\u00a0 Tuscaloosa sidewalk counselors also distribute literature from <a title=\"And Then There Were None\" href=\"http:\/\/www.attwn.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">And Then There Were None<\/a>, which helps abortion workers transition out of the industry.<\/p>\n<p>As pro-life law after pro-life law passes, the abortion industry is becoming desperate.\u00a0 The <a title=\"the truth about abortion\"
