http://www.ppsp.org/PledgePicket-index.asp Planned Parenthood Southeast Pennsylvania is asking people to pledge them some amount of money for each protestor that turns up outside their clinic during Setember and October; a billboard will display a running total of the amount raised. This is kinda neat: essentially they’ve arranged things so that the greater the effort their antagonists put in, the more money they raise. The runing total is a work of genius too: without it there wouldn’t be much point doing this. (Though I can’t quite figure out why this part is so important.) It also raises the intriguing possibility that the pro-lifers would start up a pledge-a-picket scheme of their own. They could even make one up: psychologically, it would have the greatest effect if its total fluctuated randomly, but was always slightly more than Planned Parenthood’s. 03:22
