Mrs. Green, I shall try to make this short and sweet. I am a senior in high school who prays at the clinic. In response to your comments about the protesters being violent and offensive, I say the violent protesters aren't affiliated with us. Violent people who claim to be a part of ''40 Days'' prove themselves to not be by their actions. ''40 Days for Life'' is, as it claims, a peaceful and prayerful organization. We are even asked to sign a statement of peace before going out to witness at the clinic. Now I have a question for you. Why are you so offended when asked, "How would you feel if you were the baby and your mother was aborting you?" Is it perhaps because you know that you would not feel anything because you would not be alive? Possibly it is because looking back on your life in retrospect you would see that as a fetus you already had a future ahead of you. Had your mother aborted you then you would not be here debating the issue. In regards to Plan B, by your own words it does not do as it is advertised to do, thus you are lying. To prevent something not only must it come before what it is intending to prevent to keep it from happening but also to prevent something you must have an effect on it. This is what you have said Plan B does after you have had intercourse. What you are saying is that if it is not used before five days after intercourse then you are going to get pregnant. However, a woman can be pregnant within hours after intercourse. Scientifically speaking, a woman who is pregnant would then be aborting her baby by using Plan B.
