Cocky ReligionA religious protestor cockily mocking supporters of pro-choice advocates and potential patients outside of an abortion clinic in Baton Rouge, LA - a daily experience at clinics. Lousiana was inundated with TX women seeking abortions at the time of this photo; abortion is now banned entirely there.Date | Location: May 2022, Baton Rouge, LA
Intimidation TacticsSomething I've experienced repeatedly with these protestors - intimidation tactics. Not only do they photograph my face aggressively once they realize I do not support their efforts, they also have photographed my license plate in an attempt to scare me.Date | Location: September 2023, Dayton, OH
Men Deserve To Be HeardA protestor (so conveniently and frequently men) violating the property boundary of the only abortion clinic (now closed) in Mississippi while shouting at clinic patients in the parking lot. Clinic escorts, as seen here, ensure protestors do not trespass - only patients are allowed on the premises.Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
Not Your Body, Not Your Choice"Anyone have Alanis Morissette on speed dial? She's urgently needed for an impromptu performance of ""Ironic.""A male protestor outside of the only abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi, which has since closed due to the fall of Roe v. Wade. A common demographic of protestors: men (who will never face this choice) & the elderly (who no longer are affected). Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
Do Not Trespass Against UsAnti-abortion protestors and a clinic escort holding the tension between the public road and the private property entrance of the abortion clinic. The protestors frequently physically block the entrance to the parking lot, preventing patients from being able to access their medical care (regardless of what care or procedure).Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
High Horses (Keep Talking Down To Me)One of many male protestors outside of a clinic in Baton Rouge, LA, who were very combative and antagonistic, demeaning and insulting. A frequent experience has been one of patronizing moral superiority from old, male protestors when engaging with them outside of the clinics, particularly in the south. Date | Location: May 2022, Baton Rouge, LA
Excuse Me, Ma'am, Can I Talk To You?A protestor harassing a patient in the clinic parking lot to come speak with him (as he cannot cross the property line), presumptuously assuming her to be seeking an abortion. Taken in Charlotte, NC.Date | Location: September 2023, Charlotte, NC
Gifts From *Your* God (Not Mine)A protestors' vehicle parked outside of an abortion clinic in Dayton, Ohio. While talking with these protestors, they repeatedly spouted substantial medical misinformation, including but not limited to: the ability to reverse an abortion (which has been significantly debunked by medical professionals), abortion raising a woman's risk of developing breast cancer (also debunked), and the ability to re-implant an egg from an ectopic pregnancy in the uterus (also debunked).Date | Location: September 2023, Dayton, OH
Privacy Rights (Hide Your Face, Fucker)Irony on a multitude of levels - a man, outside of women's health facility, protesting women's rights to bodily autonomy, exercising his right to privacy - the audacity. Taken outside of the Pink House, in Jackson, MS - the last (& now closed) abortion clinic in Mississippi.Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
Our Favorite GameAnti-choice protestors outside of the then-sole abortion clinic in Jackson, MS. During the entirety of interacting with them, they both made it clear this was not really about protecting the lives of babies, but rather harassing women as their own form of entertainment - the left protestor purposefully hit me with his sign not long after this photo was taken.Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
Bible Banging BeltOne of the appropriate accompanying props of the anti-abortion right wing movement - religious paraphernalia (that ironically enough descibe ethical tennants these protestors never seem to quite embody - love thy neighbor, for instance). Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
"This Is Intimidation," She Said, Hypocritically Verbatim Discussion:Her - "This is intimidation"Me - "Like you're not intimidating patients? You harass women, I harass you"Her: "I'm not harassing, I'm helping!"Proceeds to immediately flag down car pulling into clinic driveway with frantically waving hands and pamphlets. Date | Location: September 2023, Cincinnati, OH
"You Listen To The Man When He's Speaking" (The Epitome of Mansplaining)A pastor outside of a clinic in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who was very combative with me once he knew my personal opinion on the matter. He told me that I was a sinner and a slut, that I would go to hell, among many other derogatory things, as well as that a woman should happily and willingly sacrifice her life in a complicated or life-threatening pregnancy.Date | Location: May 2022, Baton Rouge, LA
Put A Smile On That FaceThe facial expression equivalent of "bless your heart" from a southerner. A condescension via a religious sense of superiority.Date | Location: September 2023, Charlotte, NC
Pastor With His Poster A religious zealot waving his poster outside of the only (and now defunct) abortion clinic in Mississippi. The microphone he's seen wearing is connected to an enormous speaker through which he blares his preaching across the walls surrounding the clinic at women seeking medical support.
Who Needs HIPAA?There's no such thing as a right to medical privacy when it comes to going to an abortion facility. Nearly every vehicle is blocked by protestors, who then attempt to bombard the driver &/or passengers with pamphlets and inauthentic requests to "talk." These same cars then struggle to also leave the lot, and frequently, photos of their license plates are taken by these protestors.Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
New Kind Of Noise ComplaintSince protestors are not allowd to physically cross onto the clinic property, some take it upon themselves to bring their own speakers, through which they scream obsenities and sexist terms at, or to read biblical texts and passages to patients on the other side of the wall.Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
Come CloserA protestor outside of a clinic in Dayton, OH, yelling across the parking lot to a patient waiting for her Uber ride. Many patients are from out-of-state, now that West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, & Tennessee have all completely outlawed abortion.Date | Location: September 2023, Dayton, OH
The Baton Rouge StoogesBecause nothing screams misogynistic and patriarchal tendencies like 3 old cis white men trying to gang up and bully a young woman documenting their attacks on her (& all women's) bodily autonomy.Date | Location: May 2022, Baton Rouge, LA
The Religious RightAn abortion protestor's vehicle outside of the sole clinic in Mississippi. A clear indicator of the blurring of the line separating church and state.Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
Quick To ConsoleA moment of action caught on camera - whenever a woman comes oustide of the clinic, these protestors in Dayton, OH are quick to jump up and race to the parking lot entrance, in an effort to deter women from pursuing abortions.Date | Location: September 2023, Dayton, OH
All Day, Every DayThe scene I've watched play out over and over again outside so many clinics across this country. Why is a patient's right to safety and privacy not actually respected in this country?Date | Location: May 2022, Baton Rouge, LA

Violence Against Women, DemonstrablyInjury incurred by the older Mississippi fuckboi, who used his sign to repeatedly cut off and block my attemptsto photograph their activities, and ultimately drew blood with the edge of his posterboard.Date | Location: May 2022, Jackson, MS
