A letter to the editor was published in today’s Kitsap Sun, of a woman upset with the efforts of the Anti-Choice Project, after witnessing our recent protest in Bremerton. Here is her letter in full:
Don’t Force Abortion Pictures on Anybody
http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2009/mar/03/letter-to-the- editor-dont-force-abortiona- on/ I am writing in response to the abortion protesters that I’m sure a lot of people saw on Saturday. I am very upset and horrified by this.
For those of you that did not see it, they had very large photos of dead babies on all four corners of an intersection near Warren Avenue Bridge. My children were with me and I am very appalled that they had to see that. I monitor what they see on television and never imagined that they would see something like this in their young lives.
I don’t care how strongly a person feels about abortion, they should never force these pictures on anybody. I lost a baby girl at 20 weeks and it will be 10 years on Sunday since her death. I can’t imagine how many women have gone through what I have only to have something like this shoved in their face.
If any of you protesters are reading this I hope you’re happy with yourselves. You have hurt far more many people than you will ever help. You have traumatized my children and I’m sure countless others. Thank you for nothing.

This letter has already generated a lot of comments, and we hope it will continue to do so. This is a fantastic opportunity to reach out to those complacent in the killing of pre-born children.
