Clinic
Defense assists women seeking health services at the Women's Health
Specialists clinic. We escort clients from the parking lot to
the building, sing over the protestors, block cameras, and support
clients who are upset by the harassment. We need volunteers to
help us Saturday mornings. Since the election of George W. Bush,
protestors feel renewed energy to push their values and religion
onto women seeking reproductive health at the clinic. We must
be equally t\renewed in our efforts to assist these women in obtaining
the health care they deserve. For more info, check
