Here in Bristol, TN, "clinic escorts" (a.k.a. "deathscorts") use bullhorns to drown out the gentle voices of our prayer vigilers, and also play a pre-recorded crowd soundtrack which sounds like the confused roar emanating from street demonstrators who isn't quite sure about what their slogans are supposed to be.

It's raucous and unnerving, and I can only imagine it raises the stress and the blood pressure of both their staff and their patients.

It certainly belies their claim that they want their patients to enjoy a calm, serene, dignified baby-disposal experience.

I would ask where they would come up with something so evil but then I remembered the saying "Satan works constantly every minute of every day."

Well, that’s something else. It’s necessary to make lemonade out of such situations. Reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from Zulu, when the Zulus are chanting loud enough to wake the dead, but the Welsh choral group starts loudly singing a hymn that catches on, and the outnumbered soldiers successfully drowns the assembled impys out.

Suggestion: Perhaps bring boom boxes and loudly play Johnny and June singing I’m Going to Jackson, or If I Were a Carpenter in response, every time they pull that. The Man In Black is among the immortals of music, and doesn’t get rattled. Also try recording the racket they make, so they can’t play the wide-eyed innocent victims in court, bitterly complaining how horrible it is to hear Johnny Cash and June Carter (those two racists!) caterwaulering at them, when they’re just going to peacefully kill a baby.
