Demonstration at the 1611 Peach St. Professional Building

The next demonstration or "informational picket" at the site of Erie's pending abortion facility will take place today from Noon to 1:00 PM.

This will be the 317th demonstration since October 30, 1999. The demonstrations have been taking place at least twice a week, at a regular time every Saturday afternoon and at various times of the day on randomly selected weekdays.

The demonstrators meet on the public sidewalk on the State Street side of the building.

With increased activity in the third floor office suites that are to house the abortion facility, we anticipate that the demonstrations will become increasingly important, and more frequent, in the coming days and weeks
