Section B: GETTING PP OUT OF YOUR TOWNYou have a Planned Parenthood facility in town. Either it's been there for many years, or it just opened up. Maybe you have been fighting its coming and, despite your best efforts, it is here. There are a number of legal, non-violent actions you can take to lessen Planned Parenthood's business and make it think about leaving.
Education - the first thing you should do is start educating your community. If you have not had any of this activity in your community before, read Part I of this booklet for all the things you can do. We will assume in this section that you have already begun doing the things outlined in Section A above.
Picketing - The single most effective thing you can do to fight an existing Planned Parenthood facility is to establish a regular (at least weekly) picket. This single act will lower PP's business, tarnish its community image, and result in increased public attention to its programs and philosophies. All these effects will work to your benefit.
The more frequently you can picket PP's offices, the better. However, you should at least plan a weekly, two-hour picket. When you picket weekly, you do not need large numbers. The frequency will have its effect and will cause morale and business problems for PP.
Most Planned Parenthood facilities do not perform surgical abortions (all do give out the Pill, Depo-Provera, and Emergency Contraception and, therefore, are providing the means for chemical abortions). If your PP does not do surgical abortions, your pickets should concentrate on chemical abortions (primarily targeting the Pill) and the fact that PP comes between parents and their children.
Access to kids - Planned Parenthood is anxious to get to teens and younger children. It often establishes programs in schools and with the YWCA, Girl Scouts, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and anywhere else kids, especially teens and pre-teens, gather. You should investigate each of these organizations in your town and, if you find PP involved, get it out. You can use any of the techniques described in this plan to lessen PP's influence and get it "uninvited" to the group.
Access to money - Planned Parenthood needs money to operate and is very good at getting money from the government. You should investigate your local city, town and county governments and determine if any money is going to Planned Parenthood. Part 3 of this plan (below), "Defeating Government Funding of Planned Parenthood," will give you step-by-step information on how to identify and defeat government funding of Planned Parenthood.
Newsletters - Once you start fighting against an already established Planned Parenthood facility, you should send a monthly newsletter to your supporters and all who sign your petitions. The newsletter need be nothing fancy, but it should keep your people informed on what is happening. It can be used to notify them of weekly and special pickets, tell them of upcoming critical dates, and relate any successes you have experienced. In addition, you can include some national information on PP from STOPP International's Ryan Report. See the conclusion below to learn how you can obtain this publication.
