I've heard that the "legalities" (what we mean by that is politics) of protesting abortion clinics is quite a hot issue. Technically since I was NOT an "abortion protester" with "that group on the sidewalk" but a private citizen with a legal reason to be on the property, I suppose I COULD have looked, stopped and talked to ANYONE about ANYTHING legally... except abortion. It would make an interesting Supreme Court case, dontcha think?

"do not talk to anyone, stop, or even look at anyone" !?!? Where are we? Communist Russia, Nazi Germany, North Korea, ...United States?

Wow, what a gutsy thing to do. And so you get threatened with criminal charges by the woman who is enraged to find out that she doesn't get to terminate one nascent human life that she had scheduled?

Boy, I would so give my lunch money to your legal fund. You're a rock star.

Hi Kirk,
I've always thought I'd like to do a prison ministry! The protesters were VERY aware of the boundaries. They never touched the asphalt of the driveway. Since I wasn't part of their group and had legitimate work in the building I was free to talk to anyone on the grounds, so I wasn't trespassing. Given the tension and legal issues with abortion protests I am sure that no protesters would fall for such "bait" and set foot on the property. IMO The doctor has a tough case to prosecute with my situation since I was not part of the protest group.

Just think of all of the people you'll be able to witness to from jail! lol

Really, this is outage! I wouldn't put it past the doctors or the cops to place a couple there to 'pretend to be getting an abortion', just so they can arrest the protestors.

Thank you Jason. I told the general contractor what happened and that he might be getting a call from the police. I got a call today from him, and he said the building's property manager called him. The abortionist filed a complaint with the PM and they were going over the surveillance video tape to see if I did anything they can use to press charges. He will keep me posted and I will keep the bloggers posted.

You were very thoughtful in the way you approached this couple. You have provided a good example. Thank you for having the humility to relate this story publicly.

If the abortionist pursues this somehow, I would like for you to contact me so that I can help you find legal representation. That is, if you need help. My email address can be found at my blog.

I'm not sure that I caught the whole gist of what happened. If the abortionist is interfering with your livelihood, you might want to talk to a lawyer.

Please don't allow yourself to be bullied.

All the best,

Jason Kranzusch

2007-05-27T07:24:00.000-07:00

I thought about that too. If the "victim" doesn't press charges, usually the "state" won't pursue it. This isn't about injury to the woman, its about losing a client.

Um, how can the doctor press assault charges again...

2007-05-26T21:56:00.000-07:00

Um, how can the doctor press assault charges against you? She's not the "victim," and the "victim" isn't there to accuse you . . . how does that work?

LOL! Yeah, he was bigger than me and half my age....

It annoys the living daylights out of me that I can be arrested for something as silly as trying to comfort a child, or protect a strange child from getting run over by a car, but if a gym teacher mocks my kid in front of the entire class, that's OK, because the teacher is part of the Establishment.

And if you did get arrested for assault, you'd probably never be able to locate that couple to help defend you. Come to think of it, don't you think a Hispanic guy would have cut your hand off if you actually *had* assaulted his wife?!?!
