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,...

Director of Planned Parenthood Quits After Seeing Abortion

Claim:  “Showing people horrifying images of abortion is ineffective and doesn’t change minds.” Tell that to Abby Johnson: The former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in southeast Texas says she had a “change of heart” after watching an abortion last month — and she quit her job and joined a pro-life group in praying outside the facility. Abby Johnson, 29, used to escort women from their cars to the clinic in the eight years she volunteered and worked for Planned Parenthood in Bryan, Texas. But she says she knew it was time to leave after she watched a fetus “crumple” as it was vacuumed out of a patient’s uterus in September. If seeing an abortion can change the heart of a Planned Parenthood clinic director, what kind of impact will abortion pictures have on everyday Americans? Read the rest of the...

Video: Protest at Bremerton High School – Part 1

The Anti-Choice Project recently paid a visit to Bremerton High School to show students there something their teachers refuse to show them: what abortion means to a defenseless baby. High school students can seek abortions, even without their parents knowledge… much less their consent. Kids old enough to have an abortion are certainly old enough to see an abortion. For more on why the ACP shows teenagers these horrible images, please see our Frequently Asked...

ACP Comment on Kitsap Sun: Photos Are Enlarged

“Cean,” a user on the Kitsap Sun writes: “The photos they display are a lie, as they are enormously enlarged.”  The images used by the Anti-Choice Project and the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform accurately depict what effect abortion has on the unborn child. These images of aborted babies are pictured with a common object, such as a coin or a hand to give perspective, so no matter how enlarged, anyone can recognize that the victims here are often smaller than a quarter. But their deaths are no less disturbing, and no less horrifying because of their size. In fact, we should express even greater outrage at an injustice whose victims are so small they cannot even defend themselves. Nearly every billboard you pass down the street has pictures of enlarged people and products on them. If they were to show the actual size of the cell phone, hamburger, or whatever it was being advertised, you wouldn’t see it driving by at 25 mph. And so we enlarge images of once tiny and precious human beings, who were torn limb from limb and pitched in the trash, in order that their unjust killing might be known and exposed to the light of human conscience. “Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.” – Dr. Martin Luther...
