For about three minutes today, I inadvertently became an anti-choice protester, or at least acted like one. But knowing how many bomb threats have been made, when I passed the local clinic well before opening and saw a huge car idling in the parking lot, doesn't it make sense to write down the make, color, and license plate?

It wasn't until later (yes, I was keeping an eye on it as I ran my morning errands) that I saw a guy come out and check the clinic door and another person in the car and realized it was a set of really early clients. Mind you, Eeyore had already set up camp, so if the idea was to beat the protesters in, it didn't work. But by the time I left, it was only a few more minutes until the escort shift arrived.

Meh. In a post-9/11 world, at a place that's a known target for homemeade nutjobs, you were just being alert and concerned. Just think how bad you'd feel if it *had* become a thing and you'd done nothing.

I mean, you didn't actually call the cops or anything, right?

I wouldn't call you anti-anything. I'd call you an alert citizen. Kind of like the guy who kept the Times Square bomb from going off.

No; for all I knew it could have been an escort eating breakfast in the car waiting for another escort to arrive. (We're not supposed to put on our identifiers until there are two of us, to stop he said/she said stuff if one of the antis tries to take us on while we're alone.)
