#ProtestPP Seattle

Leave a comment

This last weekend I joined the crowd of people outside Seattle’s Planned Parenthood. At 320 other locations around the country many others did likewise, protesting the country’s most well-known abortion provider. It was wonderful seeing all my friends from around the country posting their pictures on Facebook.

Much like last time in Seattle, the counter-protest presence was rather weak. I counted maybe six people who were identifiably there in support of Planned Parenthood. In contrast, the pro-lifers covered most of the city block:

As you can hopefully see, as usual there was a real cross-section of people present, both men and women, young and old.

This afternoon I came across something which made me chuckle while I was out taking my afternoon stroll with Scott Hahn (Dr. Hahn couldn’t make it in person but was considerate enough to be present on my iPod).

I was walking through one of Seattle’s many lovely parks and I came across some children’s play equipment:

I noticed that the bars of the fence enclosing the area had names written on them. I assumed that these were the names of the donors who helped pay for the equipment. It was then that I noticed one particular entry:

Taking a little break…

Hey everyone,

As those of you who have been following my Twitter feed will know, I just moved from San Diego to Seattle to be closer to my loverly girlfriend. As such, life will be a little hectic for a while so I’ve decided to take a break from blogging for the month of June.

See you all then,

David.

A little update

Life has been a little busy recently with lots of travelling so I’m rather behind with writing more substantial posts, sorry. I think that should change by the end of the month and I can start knocking out all the posts which are currently 90% complete.

TOTOh, and if you’re in Seattle this week, then please come to my Theology On Tap talk tomorrow on “Reading The Bible For All Its Worth”. I’m very excited 🙂
