Why don't "pro-life" protestors ever seem to know where to protest? (lemmy.world)

Probably about once a month I drive past these protestors at a fertility clinic. They are always protesting abortion and saying how so many babies die there.

This particular clinic does not perform abortions at all. Ever. It never has.

Today one of their signs also said "babies are orphanized here." What does that even mean? Do they think parents are killed there? Or is it because people leave their embryos stored there?

Do they also think babies are "orphanized" at hospitals when a parent leaves their room to go to the cafeteria?

I just can't understand these people.

They protest at a planned parenthood in a strip mall here. It can’t be seen from the road, but they protest near the road. There’s always at least one person in the middle of the day, almost always some old dude (but not the same old dude).

Makes them look like they are protesting the pet supply place. Or a burger joint. If not for them I wouldn’t even have known there was a planned parenthood there.

Also doesn’t do abortions. Not even the medication ones. They screen you and send you to another location that does, last I heard.
