At the demonstration outside the Planned Parenthood outpost in northeast Washington on Thursday, there was little sense that either side was resting, despite the chant of “Roe is dead” coming from the few dozen demonstrators. Anti-abortion vigils and services were slated to continue over the weekend.
Meanwhile, as Pavone began to speak, abortion rights activists affiliated with the group Catholics for Choice unfurled two massive banners behind him from the roof of the clinic. One read: “Most people of faith support legal abortion.”
Asked about the banners, Pavone was dismissive, insisting they were “irrelevant” before adding, “You can justify anything and slap the label ‘faith’ on it.”
