Now the controversy rages on in places like Long Island. In Hempstead on Friday, volunteers sat outside Planned Parenthood's abortion clinic on Fulton Avenue, handing out flyers, according to spokeswoman Jacquelyn Marrero: 'Abortion is your legal right in New York State' and 'Abortion is health care.' In Wading River, the state president of the anti-abortion March for Life was rattling off plans to change the minds of what she calls 'the abortion tourist': abortion-seeking women whose home states ban abortion and will come to places like Long Island to terminate a pregnancy.
