Photos in the war against abortion
The saying "a picture is worth 1000 words" could not be more appropriate than when used in the abortion struggle.
Each year the Pro Life Action League does its "Face the Truth Tour" in Chicago and suburbs that puts an end to the lies from the abortion-on-demand crowd claiming "it's only cells and tissue" or "a choice."
In Mundelein, a car stopped and a mother and her pregnant daughter stepped out. "We wanted to let you know that your being here today saved a life. We had scheduled an abortion, and after having seen your signs (which depict the actual abortions of 12-, 21-, and 31-week-old children), we will not be having it." Two lives saved through the use of our signs.
The most common complaint about the display of graphic abortions is concern about its impact on children.
In my case, seven children and now 23 grandchildren, have seen the truth from their earliest age.
What is worse, a child temporarily upset, or a child dismembered in his mothers womb?
Sadly, in today's world, life has become cheap, and children must be taught at an early age what abortion does to their peers. Those who might have been friends, classmates and spouses.
The first amendment of our constitution allows citizens to display messages to the public. Courts consistently uphold this right.
Pictures depicting the truth of abortion are indeed hard to see because abortion itself is evil and disgusting. When we put and end to the killing of those who cannot defend themselves, then we will put the pictures away.
People sometimes holler "get a job, or go home." I can truthfully say after over 35 years in this struggle for sanity, that I have never had a more important job, nor ever felt more at home than on the streets of America with the message of what abortion does to our children.
