Ban on the Display of Aborted Fetus Signs (Need help in Wisconsin, please FREEP this poll)

MONROE, Wis. -- An abortion opponent who publicizes his protests with large scale pictures of aborted fetuses said he's ready to continue his fight against Monroe if the city adopts another sign ordinance.

The Common Council will hold a public hearing tonight on a second try at a sign ordinance.

The first one it adopted was declared unconstitutional after Pastor Ralph Ovadal (pictured last summer at a Mazomanie nude beach protest) and Christ the King Church challenged it.

The previous ordinance restricted the signs to 3 square feet, except for business signs.

Ovadal and his followers had taken their large signs to the city's business square where Planned Parenthood has an office.

City officials agreed to repeal the first ordinance and dismiss citations against Ovadal and his group to settle the federal lawsuit.

Ovadal says the new sign proposal is simply the old one dusted off.

Ovadal and other church members were cited earlier last year for placing literature on parked cars in Monroe that was critical of Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and for displaying signs in a grassy area along side Highway 69 in Monroe.
