Are these people in every city now? I get stopped on the street downtown by people asking me if I have a minute to talk about planned parenthood quite a bit now.
I find this very annoying, and have found that the best response is to politely tell them that I do not support what they are doing. I don't feel strongly one way or the other on the issue but do not appreciate being stopped in the street like that.
I would much rather give money to the homeless people who stop me on the street. I understand why they are there, but the planned parenthood people should just set up and let people come to them instead of stopping every person who walks buy in the middle of the work week.
Are these crazy people in your town too?

Haven't seen them but plenty of other street corner solicitors are here.
I'd rather give money to PP than the others.

PP is a business. I'd just ignore them.

Haven't seen PP soliciting here. But every church and "AAU Basketball Team" within a 50 mile radius has been set up at some intersections I go through on the way home.
The only one I've given to regularly is a local soup kitchen that I did community service with in HS. I honestly wish the city would enforce the laws they have against it.

What I hate, is there is an intersection on our side of town, every damn weekend, there are 6 to 8 people with buckets trying to get donations for whatever. I don't know why Bham police don't do something about this. And about every 2 weeks, a woman is there, claiming homeless. Her cousin or something like that, posted on a Trussville FB, who she was, and basically stated she's on drugs and all this other crap, trying to keep people from giving her more money to support her habit. Ultimately, it's B'hams fault for not cleaning this up.

I doubt they're from Planned Parenthood - probably anti-Planned Parenthood group or just someone running a scam.
