Have you seen these driving down the street

ABORTION TRUCK - WARNING GRAPHIC PICTURES

While I get the point they are trying to make....I DON'T think it's appropriate to be driving around with pictures of dead babies on the side of a dang truck (the southern is coming out of me...uh oh!). I personally don't want to see that. I REALLY don't want my child to see that. I mean how the heck do you explain that to a four or five year old?

I am against abortion but I DO NOT agree with this way of "campaigning".

What do you think!?

that was horrific!

That is horrible. I always say what is this world coming to next. There seems to be more bad in the world than good many times, and not only that I don't know how some people can even have the heart and/or will to drive these trucks with such pictures. I hope I never see one, because I dont know what I would do or say just yet, but I sure know how I feel about it.

I cannot believe that this is even legal. Im against abortion but that is too graphic to be driving around for kids to see. this is highly upsetting

I think what I forgot to say that you may or may not have figured out is that these "signs" are HUGE. I am talking they are ON THE SIDE OF A SEMI TRAILER basically. That makes it even worse!

Very pro-life person here, but I think those are just plain wrong.

I understand these people want to make a point and add some "shock value" to it, but I wouldn't parade down the street with a picture of a dead mutilated murder victim to prove that murder is wrong, you know??

I also don't think that it is fair for me to have to explain to my 4 or 5 year old why the baby is bloody and mutilated. It is not something little children should see, or even know about right now.

Every time I see people in front of the abortion clinic with the gutted baby signs, or one of the trucks (and I have seen one twice) it makes me so mad, I just want to scream.

There are other ways to get your point across.

That is disgusting. I hope I never see this truck. How in the world would my children react and how to explain?

There just isn't any boundaries in society anymore. I went to the Alachua County Fair one year and there was a church group giving out small plastic fetuses. My little girl was asking what it was. I was so upset. On the way out of the Fair I walked a different way not to get near that booth again.

I personally don't like abortion but this is wrong to put your point across the shock value way.

I remember when my 11 year old son was about five. At the time, Ocala had the clinic across the street from the courthouse(not sure if is still in use or not). There used to be a group that picketed in front of this clinic. Whithin their signs, they would have the huge signs of baby's that had been aborted. Unfortunately, we used to have to drive past this every Friday. Most of the time I was able to keep my childrens attention from these signs but one day my son saw the signs. Of course my son freaked out. In his tears he asked what happened to these babies and why these people had pictures of them. I cannot even explain how my heart hurt to have to try to explain to my five year old what was going on. A conversation that should have come at a later date.

I do have to say I agree, somewhat, of what message they are sending out. I do feel that SOME people use abortion as a form of birth control. They do not worry about pregnacy until it's there and that's the way they choose to handle it. But my point is show these pictures to the people walking into the clinics. These are the people who need to see the message they are sending...not innocent children. I should not have to be forced to have a conversation with my child way before the appropriate time.

Abortion is always a touchy subject. It was not for me, my children were very much wanted. I have also never been pregnant from rape or had my life in danger or my babies life in danger from a pregnancy either. I have my feeling on the subject and I believe it's wrong but it is an individuals choice. You cannot force someone to view a subject your way. That is their judgement, not yours. Educate and spread the message to the people you intend on informing. Do not devistate innocent children.

Very unneccessary to advertise such a personal subject. Everyone has their own beliefs. If they think that this will stop abortions they are so wrong. I do believe that the woman or girl in so many cases should have the option of adoption.

I just don't think that this approach is the correct one. They are going way too far! There are lots of small children that do not need to see this. So far, I've been lucky enough to not see this while out with my children...and I sure hope it continues that way.

Like most women out there, I believe this is horrific! Yes, the thought of this vehicle being parked around town and knowing what goes on in there is definitely not something that needs to be paraded down the streets.

While I am pro-choice... I only believe that choice should be given in very dire circumstances such as rape, or life threatening situations. With these issues, a building in a stationery permanent location should suffice.

Let's not parade the death of innocent children in our streets. It is nothing to celebrate.
