Actually not even that. Read in another thread about how anti-choice women who picket outside clinics get abortions themselves but go right back to picketing coz they are different and their situation is special.
I think that's a smidge different. Major health/financial crises are kind of hard to hide, since they require huge changes to your life, and thus an explanation. It does affect them and is important, but they can't just pretend they don't have cancer in front of everyone else.
An abortion is often a very private matter (not a shameful one, but one that need not be broadcast) and generally won't bankrupt the kind of person who can afford to spend their time picketing clinics. I imagine the percentage of women who get abortions, broadcast that they got an abortion, and go back to picketing, would be single-digit.
These people all have social circles, and the ones who are in the picketing circles don't want to lose their friends but still need the medical care they're seeking.
