On November 15, The Hudsons organized a gathering of some teens to go down and picket the Albany Abortion Clinic.

Waiting for the 15 passenger bus to leave for Chicago.

During the ride on the bus, certain member of the group assaulted our ears with loud raucous noise from the speakers which they considered music.  Yeah, right.  It's just bad noise with a loud beat.  Admit it Pete!  Rap isn't music.  And it's bad for your brain to boot.

Anyway, once we got there, most of the teens got signs to hold and march around the abortion mill.

There's Joe Luminello and Mary Klocek on the left, and Joe Scheidler wearing his trademark hat on the right.

While they were doing the, Pete Lesnewski, Tommy Ryan, Chris Suchomski, Anthony, and I went around the neighborhood distributing pamphlets to people about how to stop this horrible business in their neighborhood.

We split up, with Tommy, Chris, and I covering the majority of the streets.  (That's why they got pictures.  Always hang around the guy with the camera if you want to be famous)

Eventually we ran out of pamphlets, so after distributing hundreds of them, we headed back to base, were the sign-holding crew was still hard at work.

There's Moe on the right, with Mr. Scheidler and his hat in the middle.

Since they already had enough people marching around with signs, we got big signs and went over to hold them by the street so that passing cars could see.

A van actually stopped, and they talked with two ladies inside about abortion for awhile. (and if they'll email me at turelio17@yahoo.com, I'll put their more detailed version of the story up here)

We actually saw one woman who had been going in to the abortion clinic, but after talking to a counselor for awhile, she decided to go to The Women's Center instead.

The whole time, they had a group of people praying, which is the most effective weapon.  (our group from left to right: Abegail, Elisabeth, Maggy, Anthony, Mrs. Hubson and baby, Mary, Chris, Johnny, little hudsons, Moe, Joe, Tommy, Me, and Mr. Hudson)

As we were leaving, I took a picture of the sign, and when I got home, did a bit of photo editing.

After all our hard work, we needed something to eat, so we went tot he Subway down the street.

And of course, since the way home went past a Krispy Kremes, we had to stop there, and everyone knows the rule that you can't eat Krispy Kreme doughnuts without a Krispy kreme hat on.

Poncho didn't get any doughnuts, but he looked like he might mug someone for them.
