I think in passing, I saw a diary about "Abortion Trucks" the other day. I had no idea what they were talking about.
Walking down the street today, I figured it out.
I was in downtown Chicago today and a bloody severed hand of a fetus rolled past my face. It was sitting in a dish, next to flesh stained surgical tools in high resolution. The image was probably 10 feet by 7 feet.
As the truck rolled past, I realized that it was on all three sides of the truck.
In the upper right hand corner, taking up about a fifth of the photograph was the official KERRY/EDWARDS logo. the word ABORTION was across the truck as well but I didn't look at it long enough to figure out what it said. I kind of went into shock.
I've now seen absolutely everything. I went to the March For Women's lives and saw the 40 foot posters with similar images along the sidewalk, but it was expected. I was at a Pro choice march, and guessed there would be dissent.
Can someone please tell me how an activist or a political person can even BEGIN to deal with this issue? There are trucks rolling around my city with horrible, private images emblazoned on them, and Kerry and Edwards logo right there.
I am a First Amendment advocate to the extreme, however there must be some sort of public decency law that keeps images such as these off of the public fairway. If I put a photograph of two people having graphic sex on the side of a truck, would I get in trouble by the law?
Just wanting some information on my end, trying to see if anyone else has seen these.
