Abortion protesters should back off

Everyone makes mistakes in life. Some mistakes may be more severe than others. Regardless of the severity, the people who made the mistakes should be able to fix them however they choose, without any interruptions. Abortion, for example, is a solution to a mistake that someone may have made. Since I am pro-choice, I believe that if abortion is the best option for someone, then it is OK.

The people who stand outside of abortion clinics praying, protesting, holding bibles and rosaries, and verbally attacking individuals who walk by or walk inside are not helping anything. Those people are not changing anyone's minds, or making anyone think twice about abortion. The only thing they are doing is serving as a roadblock for the people whose minds have already been made up. In most cases, abortion is not an easy decision to come to. For the protesters to interfere with that, is not only annoying, but it is also rude. They have no business getting involved.

It is understandable that some people are into their religion, and are strong believers of what they preach. But for these protesters to heckle innocent people is not right. Life is about making mistakes, and learning from them. If the protesters actually had the people's best interest in mind, they would back off and let them live their lives the way they want to. They should be able to make their decisions for themselves.
