Some protesters against the right to abortion were also present to denounce family planning, a list of references to abortion in the service menu at New Orleans clinic website.
Ashley Robins, 28, an employee of a restaurant and a political activist who organized the event, said that the rally was conceived by the citizens of New Orleans, not the Organization Planned
Parenthood. A calendar rally intended to stage the protest against abortion that he believes that this clinic is intended for Claiborne Avenue on Saturday morning, he said.
"Basically we have chosen to come in front of the Town Hall because we want that Board members and all stakeholders to see our number, (listen to) sound and we know that New Orleans is a very pro-choice," said Robins. "We don't want (protesters against abortion on Saturday) became more powerful than us."
The audience mostly women, some using symbolic clothing pink, others carrying signs made by hand, who sat in the shade on a small hill on the edge of the square Duncan as the Robins and Planned Parenthood representative Pamela Steeg and Patrice Sams-Aitana speak.
Meanwhile, a small group of anti-abortion protesters distributed near the Park's entrance, with a stop sign on its own.
Some hill climbing small groups Planned Parenthood Pro. A strange game that occurs as the perpetrator's father provided pro sought, whenever possible, to remove the protesters with their own brand.
Protesters of the Anti-Abortion is Sue Meyer, who describes himself as a proud partner and mother.
Meyer what every Government stopped funding family planning, arguing that the dollar that can be used to finance other clinics not associated with abortion.
"Abortion is not health care," Meyer said.
Joanne Moulton, the 75-year-old retired nurse standing behind the crowd, was the opposite opinion. Moulton, who calls herself a radical life, stalwartly supports family planning.
"We have a right to good health," said, "I want to determine my health and I want that my daughters and their friends are deciding Your health care, not a lot of politicians."
2016 December 12 article in the Washington Post reported that Congress could soon cut more than half a billion dollars in federal funds for family planning.
"Strengthened by the joint supervision of the Republican Congress and the White House for the first time since 2006, anti-abortion activists see a historic opportunity to ban a specific procedure and may reverse the Roe v. Wade Supreme
Court decision legalizing abortion Nationwide over the past four decades," according to the report.
