We had some of these trucks in Sioux Falls during the last election cycle....they were followed all over town and forced by police to move whenever they stopped in a parking lot anywhere. There were at least 2 of them...older pick-ups with campers on that had the sides plastered with pictures and slogans.

While I know it got attention, there is one part of it that concerns me. Seeing gory graphic pictures of aborted babies may open the eyes of some people but what it does that is harmful is increases the pain, shame and guilt of those who are post-abortive. It forces them that much further away from the saving grace and healing they need. It also hurts those of us who have lost babies to still births, miscarriage or other ways... I am not sure that the gore of it needs to be part of the message. The message can still be conveyed without the gore of it all, and without the increased hurt to others.

Bears repeating.
