Abortion protest meets the homeless. Friday morning in Canberra

CANBERRA’S weekly prayer vigil / protest / picket outside the Marie Stopes clinic on Alinga Street had an intriguing backdrop of a homeless man sleeping rough with the shopping trolley containing his worldly possessions.

Suggestions for a caption gratefully accepted in the comments below.

Also from Alex T: “a bunch of old men doing nothing much useful, when there is somebody right in front of them that needs their help”

How quick we judge books by their covers these days. While I don’t agree with their apparent views on abortion, who are we to assume they have done nothing (or less than us) to help others in need. Stop playing to the judgmentalism in us all.
