Spread the anti-abortion message anywhere and everywhere with drop cards
I wrote in early December that the result of the presidential election is a reminder that stopping abortion starts locally.
Our first responsibility is to make abortion unthinkable in our own family, home church, neighborhood schools, and community.
The group Abolish Human Abortion has developed a series of inexpensive drop cards. Buy them and carry them with you. Drop them everywhere.
Todd Bullis of World Life Organization explains the thinking:
Help spread the message of abolition every where you go.
Most people are happy to live in a world where discussion of abortion only occurs in churches and political stump speeches.
Most people want to drink their coffee, eat their fast food, watch their movies, and go about their day without thinking about abortion and considering what it might take to effect its abolition.
As abolitionists we know that 3,500 unborn human beings are being killed every day, and that this is not something we can just push out of our minds or keep secret. Most of the people in our world don’t know this. Many of the people who do, don’t want to talk or think about it.
Well… one of the primary jobs of an abortion abolitionist is just to get more people thinking and talking about abortion. These “drop cards” are designed to facilitate just that.
(Of course it is okay to drink coffee, eat fast food, watch movies, and go about your day in a normal way, but as an Abolitionist you ought to drop one of these cards everywhere you go. Take every opportunity available to bring the darkness of abortion out into the light of day and spread the message of abolition!)
Drop cards help seed the culture, which is getting people talking about abortion and educating them about abortion and the growing movement to abolish this wicked practice.
Here’s a sweet video, “Talking drop cards with kids!” And following are photos showing 16 (of a gazillion) inventive places to leave drop cards, courtesy of Todd Bullis and Leslie Hanks of the Passionate Pro-Lifer. Click most to enlarge…

This really an awesome idea. Please tell me where/how to get these cards so I can start doing my part here in Australia. Thank you and God bless!

I have been doing this for years with cards I purchased at abort73.com. They aren’t quite as cut and dried as these. When I run out (I ordered about 1000 of them…) I will consider these instead. Sometimes hard and fast truth is the way to go!!!
Interesting idea, couldn’t hurt to try.
Here is where you can buy the cards. I love drop Carding, I feel like I am being sneaky and a little bit naughty at the same time. Like I teach me kids if your going to get in trouble than get in trouble for doing something good. When we leave a store there is 20 cards hidden all over the store.

I love the video with Russell and the kids talking about the drop cards.
ordered!
I love this idea. I always carry a fetal model in my purse to pull out and use. I also love billboards. I have been having a discussion with a prc director who state that this brings pain to the post abortive women and she therefore disagrees with me.
I am not out to hurt but to stop future abortions. I love to hear testimonies of people who see a billboard and don’t go to their abortion appt.
But I love pointing out to the masses that our silence on this issue makes us complicit.
I’m excited. I’ve ordered 300 cards!
Susie,
Billboards do not bring pain. The pain is already there. And many post abortive women reach out for help because of the billboards.
Totally agree! Billboards are wonderful!
I’ve been dropping cards at our local Air Force base, and at our local VA Medical Center.
I am also ordering about 300 of these! LOVE this idea! I’ve seen it on facebook but never realized I too could purchase and use these cards.
I would love to do something similar with cards with the Optionline/Nuturing Network/Gabriel Project hotlines & prenatal development printed on them as well as cards with post-abortion healing resources.
Great idea. They would really be useful on college and high school campuses. and at hospitals that do abortions.
FWIW, if you want your own message, there are many places on line where you can get “business cards” printed cheap with whatever message you want on them. I mention this because of Ladybug’s comment that she would like to do it with specific organizations she supports. You can also buy card stock in roughly letter-sized sheets perforated to card size and print your own. Or you can go to a local print shop. Business cards are not expensive.
What a brilliant idea! I’m going to make a few sets. One will say something like “Keep women free, Keep Choice”. Maybe “Womens rights, maintain the fight”. Another something along the lines of “Live with reason, not fantasy”. I might use that saying “You can be good without god” too. All with simple background graphics supporting the stated message. Love it!
Yes! Reality -I love your vague platitudes!
Did you read all the way through what I said before you reacted MEB?
The bit that said “All with simple background graphics supporting the stated message”?
For example, if the card amongst the sunglasses shown above simply stated the words “Murdering humans is wrong” most people might think it was an anti-war message, or an anti death penalty message. Maybe even a gun control message given the current climate. As you say, a vague platitude. It is the graphic added to the card that clarifies that it is an anti-choice message. My cards will work in exactly the same way.
What a brilliant idea! I’m going to make a few sets. One will say something like “Keep women free, Keep Choice”.
Go ahead (shrugs). Of course I disagree with your message, but I certainly support your right to to express your beliefs.
Anyway, with all the talk over marriage equality these days, how about “Equal Rights for Unborn LGBT People?”
how about “Equal Rights for LGBT People?” first?
LOL! Reality cracks me up! Of all the living, growing, human children who have been murdered before their birth, I’d guess that a fair number of them would have grown up to be LGBT adults. Everyone’s a person at conception, even Reality and Worst-Dennis-Hopper-Film-Ever-Fan. Like I always used to say to cc: I would fight for even YOUR right to live, no matter how much we disagree on various subjects.
If I can get cards without AHA on them I would love to participate, I will not promote this cult called AHA. when given the opportunity to vote pro-life they refused and sat on their high horses and took a give me all or nothing stance and encouraged others to do the same, Even William Wilberforce was willing to accept progress in increments, aha cards only encourages others to participate on their page where one will be insulted both intelligently and emotionally. They have blood on their hands in my eyes.
Whoa, no editing feature or did it go by so quickly I missed it?
You can believe that a mountain is a soap bubble and that a mother isn’t really a mother if she murders her child, but that doesn’t make you correct or rational. You can repeat ”we’re killing creatures not people!” daily like a mantra and you can keep killing, but still: a mother is a mother at her child’s conception. A father is a biological father at his child’s conception. If he pressured his gal into an abortion, it wouldn’t erase his fatherhood and it wouldn’t ‘unperson’ his child. It would in fact make him the father of a dead human being.
All human beings are people. All of them at all stages, all of the time. It’s the all people channel, lol!!
Reality, we are glad you come here because a lot of people read but don’t comment. Jill’s blog is amazingly open to all comments, even while the abortion advocates delete or block pro-lifers on most of their websites. But, I would respect an abortionist more if they bluntly stated what abortion is: a currently legal form of murder. So, I triple dog dare ya to print: “murdering your pre-born child is your legal right..for now” on your cards. But, you hide behind euphemism and soft-sell phrases. Not too afraid to murder your children, but too afraid to call it what it is.
“Reality, we are glad you come here because a lot of people read but don’t comment” – me too
A fetus becomes a ‘child’ when the pregnant woman decides such.
‘Parenthood’ is achieved when the conceptors decide it is so.
These terms are subjective and applied according to personal perspective.
From what I’ve seen and heard here over an extended period of time, from the self plaudits regarding donating or supplying diapers and cots, and a number of other factors: it is pretty obvious that your fetus fetish expires about the same time after birth that Peter Singer suggests is the time when personhood is achieved.
Todd is correct, it can really get the adrenaline going! I’ve decided
if someone asks me what the heck I’m doing, I’m going to reply,
“These are Public Service Announcements” ~ sounds official.
Yes, Reality, pro-lifers are so identified by concern about babies, BUT most of us are also concerned about victims of euthanasia (which can be any age). FURTHER, I see the same folks at other volunteer events: pro-lifers also show up to volunteer at soup kitchens, pro-lifers often give to schools, homeless shelters, college scholarships, etc.
When I’m raising money, for example, for my scholarship fund, I don’t call it the “pro-lifer scholarship,” I call name it after the university to which we send the money. Pro-lifers don’t abandon their concerns for people once they start drinking from sippy cup: we simply call those other charitable activities by their appropriate names.
“how about “Equal Rights for LGBT People?” first”
Yes you and I agree Reality. Full marriage and civil rights for all LGBT people, born or not.
Reality:
So, I triple dog dare ya to print: “murdering your pre-born child is your legal right..for now” on your cards. But, you hide behind euphemism and soft-sell phrases. Not too afraid to murder your children, but too afraid to call it what it is.
Three dog night eh ninek?
It’s not murder.
It is a fetus.
and ‘for now’ is certainly incorrect
Haha, my “fetus fetish” expires when the baby is no longer a fetus. Then it becomes a “human life fetish” as I support the poor, the homeless, troubled teens, single mothers, victims of disasters & tragedies, medical research, food pantries, and many other charitable causes that support LIFE.
Lol!! Sometimes it’s so cold it’s a 3-dog-2-cat-2-human-and-an-extra-blanket night!
How about a card saying “Stand up for the Choice of ripping the arms and legs off your fetus”
PS the term “child” includes offspring still in the womb (fetus) as well as adult offspring who have at least one living parent.
I will contemplate the cognitive dissonance of pro-abortion rights advocates.
Why do you object to the term “kill”? The act of abortion renders a living human, dead by means of an instrument, in the absence of natural causes. The act of causing the death of a living member of the animal kingdom is called killing.
The use of pro-choice euphemism does a grave disservice to women who have had abortions, then afterwards learn what abortion actually does and how it does it. Be honest.
Sounds a bit bbrrr! ninek. I’m lucky, I live in a place without extremes.
Show us a picture of Choice along with the vague platitudes.
You’ll find some in a shop near you – soon – Barb
“You can be good without god”
.
Thanks for the reminder. There are pro life atheists out there and right here.
“Keep women free, Keep Choice”.
Riiight. Never felt more “free” than when my ex was pressuring me to abort our daughter because her life wasn’t protected by law and he wanted strings-free sex. FREEDOM! HAHAHAHAAHAHA. Freedom. Yup. I was soooo freakin’ free…under the thumb of a narcissistic would-be murderer being used as his plaything, and a bunch of pushers telling me how leik, totally awesome and stuff abortion is, and how it totally freed THEM up to like, backpack around Europe, cuz that’s waaay more important than anyone else’s freedom to like-LIVE-and stuff. Especially their kid. Freedom. Right.
lol, hippie’s comment wasn’t even showing when I typed mine.
Speak of the devil, and he (or she?) shall appear. XD
I just think I am going to ignore the little religion digs from both sides now. If some religious people want to believe I can’t possibly be a good person with no belief in God, and if pro-choicers refuse to accept that there are plenty of non-religious pro-lifers (which I suspect they are doing willfully, since we talk to them all the time), then it’s useless to constantly try to make them see reason.
“It’s not murder.
It is a fetus.”
lol, more ridiculousness. “It’s a fetus”-as if I wasn’t “a fetus” at one point in my life, or you yourself at some point in yours. Might as well say “It’s not murder as long as the person is _x value_ old.” since “fetus” is merely a stage of a human being’s life. If it doesn’t sound right with other stages (examples: “It’s not murder. It’s a neonate.” or “It’s not murder. It’s a child.” or “It’s not murder, it’s an adolescent.”, or “It’s not murder. It’s an adult.”), it’s not right.
Asinine concept on its face.
Pro-life atheist #3 here, even though we don’t exist LOL.
I have to say, Jack that I tend to agree with you. Religious type conversations around here rarely if ever are productive. I think I will try to stay away from them as much as possible.
“I have to say, Jack that I tend to agree with you. Religious type conversations around here rarely if ever are productive. I think I will try to stay away from them as much as possible.”
Well I have had a couple illuminating and productive talks about religion on this blog, and those are very interesting and educational for me. It’s the conversations that start out “people can’t be good without God” or something like that, those just tend to snowball out of control and end up making me mad lol. So I just want to avoid those. And I have no interest in trying to convince people who have talked to several pro-life atheists/agnostics on this site and still try to paint the pro-life movement as a religious thing.
“Well I have had a couple illuminating and productive talks about religion on this blog, and those are very interesting and educational for me.”
Glad to hear it. Personally, I can only think of negative ones right now, but maybe my memory is emphasizing the negative.
“It’s the conversations that start out “people can’t be good without God” or something like that, those just tend to snowball out of control and end up making me mad lol.”
Those are the ones I’m remembering right now, hence my pessimism on discussing religion.
”And I have no interest in trying to convince people who have talked to several pro-life atheists/agnostics on this site and still try to paint the pro-life movement as a religious thing.”
Truth be told, people like that are so desperate to stick to their talking points that they are unmoved by facts. I think it might be useful for others who may be reading this to find out that pro-life atheists/agnostics exist, but it is of little benefit to the people we are talking to.
Hi JDC, X, Reality, etc.
One of the main reasons religious PL often say stuff, is because they are often awed by existence …. their own and others. That sense-of-awe is a huge part of X’s zeal. We appreciate that a great deal.
I wonder just how far this sense of awe goes. Do you reality assume that such a notion is mute when it comes to science? If so please explain to me what a vacuum is. Like the closer it is to zero, the more powerful it is. If nothing is an absence, why would a nothing have power over things? Why would something that close to zero have any influence at all?
Haha, my “fetus fetish” expires when the baby is no longer a fetus. Then it becomes a “human life fetish” as I support the poor, the homeless, troubled teens, single mothers, victims of disasters & tragedies, medical research, food pantries, and many other charitable causes that support LIFE.
Yep, me too. That’s why I am getting into an outrageous amount of debt to get my MSW. I’m going to stock up on those cards and leave them all over campus! And quite a few pregnancy resource centers do outreach to their clients a long time after their babies are born.

Well, pro-life black women aren’t supposed to exist either, so welcome aboard!
Whoa, no editing feature or did it go by so quickly I missed it?
It seems to be broken, which makes formatting posts a pain in the neck. Online rich-text editors suck!
Susie Allen, I’m post-abortive myself and I have even gone out to the University when they have come to town with the Graphic Images of abortion. I believe it is important that we share the truth before women make the decision to have an abortion and preferrably before they are even pregnant. This is when they are most open to the truth, and once they have confronted the issue and formed a commitment to the truth, they are less likely to go through with an abortion if they become pregnant. It really pains me when people involved in the cpc’s insist that we shouldn’t do this or that which speaks the truth of abortion because it will “hurt” post-abortive women. It is that pain which will drive them into a healing program and then propel them into working to end abortion.
I intend to hand out, at the upcoming March for Life, one of the AHA cards, probably 53 million killed, and one, same size, with all of the information on how pro lifers car find out more and order cards.

Jill, I like giving credit where credit is due. Mark Crutcher at Life Decisions had this idea years ago … http://www.ldi.org/Abortion_Information/Pro-life_Product/?id=14
Bryan,
I’m very aware that I can design my own cards & have them professionally printed, however working two jobs, I do not have the time to do so and was posting my comment as indication I would like more information if anyone knows of these types of cards already available.
Thank you and God bless you for sharing your ideas…so simple but yet has the capacity to change the way that people think.
You can attempt to be good without God … however, can you stand sinless before Him when you die? http://www.180movie.com/
I think these cards are very well done with a powerful message. I was going to order some, but then I saw all the anti-Catholic stuff on AHA’s Facebook page. No thanks.
