A while back I saw a video of a priest standing outside an abortion clinic praying and holding the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament in it. Is a priest allowed to remove the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament from the Parish? Also, if taking Jesus to an abortion clinic is a regular occurrence, it’s just a matter of time before someone throws a rock at the monstrance, or even takes it from the priest to do who knows what.
 
I’ve never seen that.

And I don’t know the directives such as Canon Law or some other rubric, but I’d think if the Bishop was ok with it, then it’s ok.

I am not sure what that would accomplish. There are surely better ways to evangelize.

Most certainly. In fact, Eucharistic processions through towns used to be a regular part of the Feast of Corpus Christi. They have since, unfortunately, become far less common, or restricted just to parish grounds.
lso, if taking Jesus to an abortion clinic is a regular occurrence, it’s just a matter of time before someone throws a rock at the monstrance, or even takes it from the priest to do who knows what.
Then the person incurs grave sin. Jesus did not shield His face from abuse, but willing exposed it to violence for our sake. This is no different

Yes I saw this in Poland, it was lovely.
 
Just today, there was a Eucharistic Procession around our State University campus…definitely get some interesting looks from onlookers. 🙂

Often I give money to homeless people, and folks ask why I do that when the homeless person is just going to spend it on drugs or alcohol. I figure that how the homeless people spends the money is on them, but whether or not I give them money is on me. The decision to bring Jesus to people who work at abortion clinics is similar. How the clinic workers react to Jesus is on them, but whether or not we give them a chance to react to Jesus is on us.

Code:
  I'm not sure whether he would need the permission of the Bishop or not. But it's an excellent practice, bringing our Eucharist Lord to the place where souls need His presence most. 
   It's a.reminder that we in the US need to take up the practice of Eucharist processions more often - we are in quite a pitched battle everywhere.

As someone with family working hands on with homeless folk I would strongly urge you not to give money especially as you are aware where it will go. Please. Cannot urge this strongly enough, YOU have a right sense of personal and social responsibility but they do not and remember that if they are drunk or drugged they will not be admitted to refuges. Also they live among sharks called drug dealers who have no scruples in fleecing them of whatever cash they have, Here in Ireland the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in Limerick set up outside an abortion clinic. It was not well received. Time and place.
