Divided Opinions Over Anti-abortion Trucks

Debate has raged in the state of Florida regarding abortion after two trucks featuring graphic images of aborted foetuses were driven around its main roads.
The trucks feature billboard-sized photographs produced by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, an Ohio-based pro-life organization.
Spokesperson Paul Troiani said the campaign aims to raise awareness of abortion.
“We’re concerned this issue is being trivialized. These pictures tell a different story,” he commented.
A number of people called the police after being disturbed by the pictures as they traveled through Fort Myers, but officers were unable to issue citations under freedom of speech laws.
The trucks are to continue across the rest of Florida this week as part of a tour called the Key States Initiative.
Abortion is legal in the U.S. under federal law, but many states pass their own regulations regarding restrictions.
In Florida, a woman does not need parental or spousal consent to have an abortion performed.
What would it take to get a copy of “The Silent Scream” in the hands of every registered American voter?
This being accomplished the chances of diminishing the percentage of voters pro-abortion, may be dramatically decreased.
