“…we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.” – Dr. Martin Luther King,...

The following is a response to a letter to the editor entitled, “Don’t Force Abortion Pictures on Anybody.” Ms. Habighorst is traumatized and takes offense to pictures of aborted babies. This is understandable; after all, those of us holding the pictures are deeply offended by them as well. But could someone please explain why Ms. Habighorst — and countless other Americans indifferent to the daily slaughter of unborn human beings — is more offended by an image of unspeakable injustice than by the injustice the image depicts? If abortion is a morally acceptable “choice,” why do pictures of it make pro-aborts so angry? Ms. Habighorst is horrified that her children might be subjected to pictures of abortion. It is regrettable, and we never target young children with these images. Yet it is undeniable that these photos change minds and save lives. And so we must decide which it is we care more about: the sensibilities and feelings of born children, or the lives of unborn children. We at the Anti-Choice Project (www.antichoiceproject.com) operate under the principle that lives trump feelings, and so we will be using the photos. We will be bringing them to an intersection near you. Let there be no mistake: we are very sympathetic and extend our condolences to Ms. Habighorst who discloses that she herself suffered a miscarriage 10 years ago. But if we acquiesce under the pressure of hurt feelings and painful memories, and concede to participate in the cover up of “Choice,” America will not stop the killing. Yes, the truth hurts. But the lie hurts so much more. As Dr. Martin Luther...

A letter to the editor was published in today’s Kitsap Sun, of a woman upset with the efforts of the Anti-Choice Project, after witnessing our recent protest in Bremerton. Here is her letter in full: Don’t Force Abortion Pictures on Anybodyhttp://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2009/mar/03/letter-to-the-editor-dont-force-abortiona-on/ I am writing in response to the abortion protesters that I’m sure a lot of people saw on Saturday. I am very upset and horrified by this. For those of you that did not see it, they had very large photos of dead babies on all four corners of an intersection near Warren Avenue Bridge. My children were with me and I am very appalled that they had to see that. I monitor what they see on television and never imagined that they would see something like this in their young lives. I don’t care how strongly a person feels about abortion, they should never force these pictures on anybody. I lost a baby girl at 20 weeks and it will be 10 years on Sunday since her death. I can’t imagine how many women have gone through what I have only to have something like this shoved in their face. If any of you protesters are reading this I hope you’re happy with yourselves. You have hurt far more many people than you will ever help. You have traumatized my children and I’m sure countless others. Thank you for nothing. Amy R. Habighorst This letter has already generated a lot of comments, and we hope it will continue to do so. This is a fantastic opportunity to reach out to those complacent in the killing of pre-born...

Today’s protest went really well. Thanks to all those who were able to come out! It was a fairly busy Saturday afternoon. Tom did a count and estimated about 3500 cars drove past in the hour and a half we were out. That’s 3500+ people who have probably never seen “Choice” like this before. As we were leaving, we had a car drive by and throw eggs at us. Fortunately, their aim was a mile off. Another virtuous display from the Tolerant...
