I live right next to churches that protest it all the time.
Here's the problem though - I don't understand if you're arguing the name of the organization or the fact that they offer abortion at all. If it's just the name you're objecting to, because it has stigma attached to it, the stigma exists solely because of religion. Science even does not claim to tell a person when exactly "life" begins. And that is the problem of the religious, not the secular. The religious have no problem using those services regardless of the name when they have issues, so why do they continue to attach the stigma to it at all?
