Where There's A Will, There's A Way

One of the many jobs we have here at EMC is standing outside our centers handing out information to inform the public on the damaging effects of abortion on men, women, and children.

Our traditional setup involved a table with a television and DVD player run by a generator with our fetal development models and various pieces of literature ranging from what to do if you’re considering an abortion to your sexual exposure based on how many partners you’ve had in the past.

Usually, our tables get a lot of positive attention from people in the neighborhood. We get a lot of, “Wow, I didn’t know that,” and “You guys are angels,” but what we didn’t expect was for the NYPD to close up our shop.

Technically speaking, in NYC, you need a permit to have any kind of table-setup out on the street so when the police said, “Nope, gotta take it down,” we put our little pro-life heads together and figured out a way to make it work.

Half to spite the police and half to keep on educating we set up a chair below our 149th street center and strung out an extension cord to the television which sat in one person’s lap while the others handed out our literature. So far, no one’s said anything.
