Counter-protesters from Baylor University amplify pro-life protests at CVS pharmacy

After a year of monthly protests at the CVS pharmacy near Baylor University, a counter-protest has emerged. Pro-Life Waco delivered its first outreach at CVS across Interstate 35 from Baylor in April of 2024. Our top outreach goals are 1) chemical abortion education and 2) exposing the CVS and Walgreens commitment to joining the abortion industry.

College Democrats of Baylor, an official student organization, organized a modest counter-protest to our monthly hour-and-a-half protest on February 26. This resulted in a news story in the Baylor Lariat newspaper. They promised to come back in March.

On March 26, we were outnumbered by about 20 to 15. Nevertheless, the counter-protest amplified our pro-life impact on the vast sidewalks of this corner drug store. The expansion of the visual display on the sidewalks was something thousands of travelers could not avoid seeing. The counter-protest ramped up our enthusiasm, which continued as we had lunch together at a nearby restaurant.

For the most part, the interaction was respectful. I persuaded four counter-protesters to accept our chemical abortion flyer. This included JW Lastrape, the president of College Democrats of Baylor.

The only disrespect came from members of the NoZe Brotherhood, a very unofficial student organization. This woke group prides itself on outlandish dress, masks with oversize noses, and irreverent actions. One NoZe brother attempted to distribute condoms to our pro-life representatives.

Following months of pharmacy outreach, PLW leadership created Pro-Life in the Public Square (PLPS). The goal of this new organization is to promote public square outreach — activism that reaches the broad spectrum of public sentiment on abortion.

Our top priority is a strong national response to the entry of two national pharmacy corporations into the chemical abortion business. PLPS offers a totally free Quick Start Pack to pro-life groups and individuals who will join the national collaboration for continuing pharmacy outreach at a local CVS or Walgreens. The Quick Start Pack includes 10 signs (with four different messages) and 100 chemical abortion flyers.

PLPS also provides financial support for two additional public square outreach initiatives: 1) church and local group yard sign campaigns, and 2) billboards in small towns with a major highway running through.

Given the current weakness of the local public square outreach within the pro-life movement, a revival of this branch can strengthen the pro-life movement in the post-Dobbs era.

I took one of my Econ classes from Dr. Pisciotta at Baylor back in the 80's; he was/is a good man.

No one paid much attention to the mysterious NoZe Brotherhood even then; their heyday was long before when they were the counter to the Chamber kids.

From my observations, a lot of boomers didn’t work right up until retirement age. That’s why they’re willing to act like chimps and apes for forty bucks an hour.

There is older and then there is Methuselah. These women so old they probably heard Socrates give lectures.
