In her August 18th letter, Danielle Rye says she is offended when she sees our aborted baby pictures along the streets of Kitsap County. She imagines this disruption of her otherwise pleasant commute as a bad thing, but effective social reformers know that individuals need to be bothered about an injustice before enough people will rise up to stop it. The Anti-Choice Project uses pictures to bother those with a functioning conscience because we realize that injustices which are covered up do not end. When abortion is hidden, abortion is tolerated. When it is seen, everything changes. As abolitionist William Wilberforce once said, “You may choose to look the other way, but you can never again say you did not know.” Ms. Rye is outraged that her child saw our signs, but these images save lives and lives trump feelings in our book. The law, of course, is on our side: “It would therefore be an unprecedented departure from bedrock First Amendment principles to allow the government to restrict speech based on listener reaction simply because the listeners are children.” (9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Center for Bioethical Reform v. L.A. County Sheriff Dept.) Ms. Rye ought to realize that we are here because abortion is here. The only question we have for those who can’t bear to look upon “Choice” is—If it’s wrong to SHOW what goes on in an abortion clinic, why isn’t it wrong to DO what goes on in an abortion...

Earlier this month, our newest chapter in Missoula, Montana began hitting the streets to show those in Missoula what abortion means to unborn babies. This is all part of our mission to expand the efforts of the ACP so that one day abortion may be exposed in every major city across America, so long as it continues to be a legal and acceptable “choice”. Our Missoula chapter is being headed up by Amy Stinnett (pictured above), a pro-life activist with a strong passion for saving babies. We are thrilled to have Amy on our team and know many lives will be spared from abortion because of her courage to show the truth in Montana. If you are near Missoula and would like to get involved, please email us at...

Warning: Explicit and vulgar language contained in this post. Speaking in reference to my audibly-shaky voice when responding to Chad Smalley (who has been charged by the Poulsbo Police Department with a misdemeanor for inciting a fight in this video), YouTube user kiastar67 writes: “He was a PUSSY and afraid. Stop lying. You fucktards are sad and OBVIOUSLY lying. He was saying he was sorry for showing the kid as you can tell in his inflection and tone. You instigate BS and get scared when someone gives it back.You people are sad and small and do it because you THRIVE on drama. I would have done worse,.You lucked out that he didn’t curb stomp your ass.TAKE YOU LUMPS AS YOU DESERVE THEM AND STOP HIDING BEHIND A SIGN,” I write in reply: “He was a PUSSY and afraid.”…”You people…do it because you THRIVE on drama.” I’m confused. Are we scared of the drama that follows our protests or are we protesting because we thrive on the drama? For the record, by the time Mr. Smalley’s spittle was hitting my face I had made up my mind not to fight back. Yes, my nerves were shot; guilty as charged. But I was not apologizing to appease Chad or to ask forgiveness for showing the picture to his son. Rather, I was sorry that his son had to see the pictures, and I was responding in the negative to Mr. Smalley’s request we get off “his” street. The whole point of standing on a sidewalk with a large sign depicting dismembered children is to show the horrifying, conscience-pricking truth to a...

In an even more aggressive effort to discourage tobacco use, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released graphic warning labels that it will require be placed on cigarette packs by the fall of 2012. Here are just a few examples: By forcing smokers to view these disturbing images, the FDA is sending a clear message: maybe something so harmful to your lungs, teeth, and throat is not such a good idea. This is an effective approach to truth in advertising which we thought should be applied to the abortion industry as well. Notices placed on the front doors of every Planned Parenthood and abortion facility across the country, warning women about the reality of abortion. Here’s just one example: We think the message is clear: maybe something which does this to your baby is not such a good idea. What do you...
