Some people will not change their hearts and minds until they see the gruesome reality of abortion.

They need to see this more often.Not too much that the senses become numb. great job.
and...
I have seen this truck or something similar in SD last year. Unfortunately, it may not exactly have the effect they wish it to.
While the Bound4Life prayer tent was in Sioux Falls, I spent time there. One of the things God laid on my heart was the weight of the burden carried by the post-abortives. The church has increased their guilt and shame, when the church was meant to be there in love, mercy and grace. The church needs to wake up, repent and change how it receives the post-abortives (men and women, alike).
The Truth Truck and anyone bearing the gore of those type of pictures is causing a renewed harm, pain, guilt and shame to anyone who is post-abortive. It re-opens the wounds. I have to wonder if those pictures, in reality, really do stop anyone from aborting. This is my opinion, as well as my observations and what I have heard from those who are post-abortive. If the pictures are driving the post-abortives further away from the church, away from their healing, increasing their pain...I question if it is right.
I also feel the pain, when I see those pictures myself. I lost my son at 6 months along, a stillbirth. The pictures cause me great pain because of the size of the babe pictured, etc. It re-opens my own wounds of pain and I have not aborted.
A flip-side of that coin that should be seriously considered.
There is nothing in the pictures that is untrue.
My whole life I have seen images of savagery in the mass media—Both Kennedys and M.L.King, Jr. being shot down,the napalm girl and the executed prisoner from Vietnam,the self immolation of Buddhist monks in various protests,our prisoners returning gaunt and wan from North Vietnam and the USS Pueblo incident,right on up to Abu Ghraib.
These pictures, if they were for a lefty cause, would be in our face and awards given right and left, such as AIDS advocacy over the last 25 years(yes, we are still fighting a preventable disease 25 years afyer we figured out how to stop it).
Kids today watch horror slasher movies, emulate the rap gangsta lifestyle, and love violent video games.
So what’s the matter with a few pictures of cut up babies?
Oh yeah, that might prick the conscience.
The truth is over the last 35 years, 50 MILLION babies have been aborted in the United States alone.
We have eliminated over one third of TWO entire generations of American children. And yet violence, sexual abuse and physical abuse of children and women is at an all time high.
It is the truth. And some people can’t handle the truth.
I have fought this evil for twenty years,and I hope I don’t have to for another twenty.
Then we covered elective abortions. The instructor was factual and the photos were not overly graphic, but the reality of what actually happens during the procedure stood in stark reality. When describing the partial birth abortion, the faces of the students showed utter shock. The instructor asked for a show of hands for those that had never heard the description before. Probably 75% of the students had never heard the details of this barbaric procedure. They were visibly shaken.
The instructor is strongly pro-life and yet presented the truth without exageration or unstated bias. It was powerful.
Wow!!! Good for them. Time for a donation.

RNCLife] To Friends of RNC/Life -
The Republican and the Democrat
A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below.
She shouts to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consults his portable GPS and replies, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolls her eyes and says, “You must be a Republican!”
“I am,” replies the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answers the balloonist, “everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’re not much help to me.”
The man smiles and responds, “You must be a Democrat.”
“I am,” replies the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” says the man, “You don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”
