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.

It's actually really consistent and bold - it's also the least popular way to advance the movement because plenty of casually pro-life people would stop and go "Huh" if forced to think about their views and IVF.

It is perhaps a bit stupid but it has the same big dick energy of flying Palestinian flags at an unremarkable, modern, liberal Jewish synagogue - take the fight everywhere, all the time.

This makes sense. Thank you for this perspective
