Here's a little dittie I gleaned from a local newspaper on a new tactic for
handling right-to-life protests of abortion clinics.

Picketing for dollars:  Pro-life pickets found themselves in an awkward
position recently raising funds for the facility they were trying to close
down.  When the Portland Women's Feminist Health Clinic heard they were
targeted, staff got on the phones and, with the help of the Community Clinic
Defense Coalition, solicited sponsors.  The more picketers that showed up
and the longer they waved their signs, the more money they brought in.
According to Leila Whittemore, Clinic Defense Director, the fundraiser
brought in a much needed $700.  "Not bad for only three pickets," Whittemore
observed.
