Visual assault on Jefferson

Dear editor,

Regarding Iris Barrie’s letter of June 19 (“Demonstrators infringe on others’ rights”), thank you, Iris, for writing the letter I have been meaning to write. The visual assault that occurs each day in front of Planned Parenthood is offensive. The fact that it is directed by a man is even more offensive. No man has a right to tell a woman what she can and can’t do with her body.

Planned Parenthood in Napa does not even do clinical abortions, so what are they protesting? Educating women against STDs? Birth control? Counseling? Low-cost OB/GYN care?

It makes my blood boil every time I drive by that eyesore! I’m with you, Iris, let’s get rid of the offensive mess on Jefferson and continue to educate and help women.
