Kitsap Sun Delays Publication of ACP Editorial Response

On October 14, 2009, the Kitsap Sun Editorial Board published a condemnation of the Anti-Choice Project (ACP) and those who work to expose abortion through the use of graphic images. Co-Founders of the ACP, Tom Herring and Andrew St.Hilaire submitted their response two days later. Today, three weeks later, that letter was finally published. We cannot help but suspect that this was an attempt to marginalize our response to their criticism. Shame on the Kitsap Sun, waiting three weeks to print our reply to their attack piece against the ACP. Click here to read the edited version and please voice your support for the ACP and your opposition to the horror of abortion, which the ACP is working diligently to expose, by commenting (nearly 100 comments already)! Below is the unedited version: Dear Editor, You rightly observe that our pictures of unborn babies shred to pieces by abortion are offensive. But rather than express your outrage with the local abortionists who show up to work every day at 623 Riddell Road — financially profiting from the act depicted — you condemn those working to expose the horror of baby-killing. We are radically reshaping the way people think about abortion. We are focusing the debate away from abstractions like “choice” by showing the reality of what is being chosen. Our pictures dispel the myth that abortion is a complex and nuanced moral dilemma. They prove that it is an act of violence which kills a baby. The Anti-Choice Project is here because abortion is here. We are here because Washingtonians are not very bothered by abortion — not sufficiently bothered,...

Making Abortion Impossible to Ignore or Trivialize

From the Kitsap Sun: Rob Rudnick would rather be flipped off than ignored. Driving a box truck with graphic, billboard-sized pictures of aborted human fetuses on it, he gets a lot of both. Rudnick, of Bend, Ore., was cruising Wheaton Way, Warren Avenue and Highway 303 on Monday afternoon as part of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform’s Reproductive “Choice” Campaign. Rudnick, 55, said he would prefer a negative reaction than none at all. “So far today I’m not seeing as many thumbs up,” he said from the driver’s seat. “It’s usually very polarized. Either I’m getting a thumbs up or the bird, but mostly I get indifference, which is the least healthy of all responses.” Local groups have long demonstrated against abortion, often carrying signs with pictures like those splashed on the truck. But they’ve never had a vehicle like this to elevate the issue. “One picture is worth a thousand words, and I believe this picture is worth a thousand sermons,” Rudnick said. “It’s like a television where you can’t change the channel.” The protesters strive for shock value to make abortion impossible to ignore or trivialize, said Glenn Stockton, president of Bremerton-based Samuel’s Hand Coalition. “The tendency is to have an emotional reaction and blame the person holding the picture,” he said. “We understand that, because it does evoke strong emotions, but the intent is to educate people about what goes on inside abortion facilities. We believe that once that is known and clearly understood and people witness these horrifying photographs, that the killing will stop.” Stockton invited friend Darius Hardwick, Northwest operations director for Center for...

Kitsap Sun Publishes Police Report

The Kitsap Sun has published the police report of Sunday’s incident of assault against one of our demonstrators. The report inaccurately describes the assault as merely being soda thrown, when it was really the whole cup with soda and ice in it that was thrown square in the face of one of our protesters (see video). Join in, defend and support the ACP and help us denounce all acts of violence, including the killing of abortionist George Tiller, the act of assault against our demonstrator and most of all the dismemberment of children in the womb by abortion.
