Could you imagine standing there as they lock lips, faces contorting in disgust as they trample upon the malefic beliefs that brought them there? Witnessing the little death as their gold star is forever taken from them. Dropping the fake belly on the ground and sprinting away as jeers and slurs fly from behind you as you avoid being bludgeoned by aggrieved zealots
Abortion is done (at least around here) before week 12. At that point it's barely visible over clothing, specially if the mother isn't the smallest to begin with. So a bit too big hoodie is well enough, no need for fake belly.
But but but herr trump said they were happening up until the point of birth!
Post birth even!
Walking in with a whole ass baby and threatening to abort it unless two men swap spit.
That's the US Army
A person can't just walk in and get an abortion because they don't want the kid right up until the birth. Even in Virginia which has no hard deadline for banning abortion, the bar to clear for an abortion is raised for each trimester.
Third trimester abortions require three physicians to agree that not doing so would either likely be deadly to the mother or "substantially and irremediably impair the mental or physical health of the woman."

A single physician can approve an emergency abortion regardless of trimester to save the life of the mother: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter4/section18.2-74.1/
Yeah, that's a good point. Less cinematic, though.
True. I wonder if their stance would be any different if there was someone at week 35 on the line, but I highly doubt that.
If you could use that to make them feel like they were able to look down on someone, maybe. Smugness feeds their worldview.
They aren't going to kiss. They're going to scream in your face, cry giant crocodile tears, wave a big placard with a crucified puppy on it, and call you a Satanist.
My friend actually was a satanist with many stories exactly like that. Anti-abortion counter-protests have my absolute favorite people. Most of the anti-abortion folks just scoffed, but some literature was offered, 0 opinions were swayed, 0 boykissers were induced, and hundreds of women felt safer entering clinics with dozens to hundreds of people ready to throw down on their behalf.
I'd prefer that people be given their privacy, but physical safety comes first. Especially in this era of social erosion
With as many of them that are in the closet, they might go for this though
