JOIN THE NEW YORK COALITION FOR ABORTION CLINIC DEFENSE (NYCACD) AT DR. EMILY’S WOMEN’S HEALTH CENTER TO SUPPORT WOMEN’S RIGHTS!
Dr. Emily’s clinic in the South Bronx has been the target of anti-abortion protesters. Offering free sonograms (administered by unqualified people outside the medical field), anti-abortion pamphlets, and plastic fetuses on display, protesters attempt to convince women seeking abortions to change their minds.
Since June, NYCACD has collaborated with clinic staff to launch a weekly clinic defense campaign, and effectively prevented anti-choicers from intimidating/harassing people coming to Dr. Emily's clinic. Starting September 23, however, the protesters are planning a 40-day prayer and fasting "vigil" called "40 days for life."
Two years ago, with a similar campaign, they thronged the sidewalk and were able to physically block staff and clients from entering the clinic. This year, the goal is to OUT NUMBER THEM; to provide safe escort for staff and patients into the clinic, and to let the anti-choice bigots know THEY CANNOT GET AWAY WITH THIS!
