We're having a quieter time of it here in VA, mostly because PP seems to be walking lightly--we've had very little opposition from them (the pledge a picketer sign has only been out 2x so far).

PP's lot is definitely not at capacity and many days there's barely a trickle of cars, although unfortunately it's not empty either.

Maybe the PP staff realized calling us--the old ladies with their rosaries, the lady with the broken foot on crutches, the pregnant mom with her 3 kids--a threat made them look ridiculous. Even the college group here has been quiet. PP did seem to have a hand in recruiting high schoolers to counter-protest for a few days, but even that's quieted down.

A family coalition here that's been fighting PP's illegally zoned presence here for 4 years just filed an injunction asking for immediate relief for the landowners named in the suit...immediate relief = closing PP's doors! Please pray the judge will grant this (so far, all judgements have gone in our favor).

On the praise side, we've had a number of post-abortive women come to talk with us about counseling and healing options, including one who lost 9 children to domestic violence & abortion.

one strange note--my husband was out by himself for a few hours today and a PP worker came out to talk to him. He just let her ramblingly attack him about why he hasn't personally adopted scores of foster kids, etc.

He just had to stare in bewilderment as she asked him, "So why should babies be born? Why shouldn't they be killed?"
