Activists plan to show graphic video of live abortions on JumboTron on Alamo grounds



San Antonio, Texas -- Ohio-based activist group Created Equal plans to show live video footage and photographs of abortions near the Alamo on Wednesday.

The group, along with locally based Love of Truth Ministries, will show the abortions live on a projection screen, which they classify as a "JumboTron TV," as well as answer questions and hand out brochures near the historic shrine, said executive director Mark Harrington.

Harrington warned that the images are graphic, and parents should to find an alternative route when traveling with children throughout the event from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

"It's not something we choose to do, and frankly I would be willing to stop showing the photos if the killings would stop," he said. "If it saves one life here at this campus or at The Alamo, then it is worth exposing this, or maybe offending some people's feelings."

With pictures of dead kids autopsies who died from child abuse.

Years ago someone I knew brought home library books of coroner's reports and pictures. The kids section was ghastly. I'll never forget the little 5 year old with the hairbrush embedded in her skull.

Comes to mind whenever those busy bodies stick their noses in private medical decisions.

I'd like to push the retroactive abortion button on all of them.

Equal's Demonstration Booth, at the Alamo. Abstinence is a Texas Education Agency approved Health Curriculum Objective. There is nothing wrong with displaying homework at the Alamo by holding out a brochure while walking that could have a title like, 'Doing My Homework.' People could see the results of irresponsible abstinence.

Suppose Planned Parenthood is in the process of receiving a permit for its peaceful demonstration at the Alamo?
