Of all these, one sign is memorable.

In one quite small town, their cemetery borders the highway.
At the front, is a tasteful, legible, not large sign that commemorates aborted babies buried there.
i intend to stop and take a picture. i’ll add it here if i get one.

i wonder what impact that sign has on young minds? recognition of personhood? dignity of human remains?
not flushed down a toilet?

i have not found a picture of the sign online. the cemetery, yes, the sign, no.

For me, a poignant message about the sanctity of life as i drive along.

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.

But who do you want to respond, and how? If you want to prevent abortion, it's probably important to address the most common abortion, the woman who already has children and doesn't think she can handle more. What do you want to say to her? How can she find help? How can she grow into what is needed for her to be a good mother to her current child and to the new one?

So perhaps:

Children are precious - before and after birth! We can help, call ####.

That is a good one.

Last month at a Cape Town, South Africa, pro-life rally, I held a hand-lettered poster which read, "No one should be killed because they are inconvenient." After a while I switched it up with another hand-lettered: "Honk if your mother didn't abort you." That got many smiles and responses, including Muslims, bus drivers, and a semi driver who sounded, loud and long. :clap:
