I was introduced to this comic by Google while searching for some references to debunk a few myths a friend of mine believed about abortion. This was a few months ago, been following along just finally decided to post.
I went to an abortion clinic in my home state, once, and managed to actually get most of the protesters to disperse - I told them about ectopic pregnancy. I brought printed diagrams, some statistics from DHHS, and even called a local hospital on a borrowed cell phone and had a RN confirm it all over speaker phone.
The rest? Religious zealots on a warpath who would burn a doctor at the stake for saying that modern medicine is a good thing. I knew those people existed, had seen them on TV... but encountering one face to face the first time was an unnerving experience. I'm generally a very solid person but I was definitely shaken after that exchange.

thanks for reading. i applaud your ability to express many of the fallacies of the pro-life movement to demonstrators. i'd love to do that myself, but i'm extremely uncomfortable talking to people when i can't hide behind a computer screen so i'm not sure how effective i'd be.
