Anti-Choice Project launching new chapters
I wanted to spotlight our newest advertiser, the Anti-Choice Project, which is scouting for like-minded pro-life activists to launch new chapters.
Founded in 2009 by longtime pro-life activists Tom Herring and Andrew St.Hilaire (pictured below), Anti-Choice Project’s goal is to “educate Americans about the horror of abortion… through the public display of babies aborted during the 1st trimester of pregnancy.”
Anti-Choice Project is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that aspires to Dr. Martin Luther King’s statement:
Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.
Anti-Choice Project seeks “to enable and equip pro-lifers to display abortion pictures along the streets of their own towns.” Anti-Choice Project chapters are springing up in cities across the U.S., and their projects include:
- Presence at pro-life rallies and state marches
- Pro-life billboards
- Outreach at congressional town hall meetings
- College and high school campus outreach
- Counter demonstrations at Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion events
- Educating via social media channels
- Articles, letter writing, and quarterly newsletters
There are many ways to get involved with the Anti-Choice Project – by starting a chapter in your area, by joining the mailing list, by volunteering, and by donating to their outreach. You can read about Anti-Choice Project events at its blog.

I guess we are now anti choice when it comes to abortion and they are pro death. As far as Susan Sarandon goes shes had an abortion so no matter what she will not crumble. She will not crack. At least shes not ready to yet. She was pregnant from a man who she later called a jerk and worse. She said staying with him would have ruined her life.

Heather, we are often asked by pro-lifers and by pro-aborts why we decided to name our organization the Anti-Choice Project and so we include the answer on our FAQ page.

Before founding ACP we noted that in many of our conversations with pro-aborts words would be twisted and used as a smoke screen to defend baby killing. The most obvious example of this deceptive tactic is their constant employment of the word “choice.”
We are convinced that abortion remains legal today simply because of the brilliant marketing of abortion under the banner of “choice.” Americans love choice. We love our freedoms; our ability to choose McDonald’s over Burger King, Ford over Toyota, Yale over Princeton, etc. And so abortion was sold to us as another choice.
Once baby killing becomes “Choice,” logic dictates that if you oppose abortion, you are by definition anti-choice.
And in our own experience conducting pro-life work we found so much of our time was wasted arguing this point with pro-aborts and fence-sitters alike: that we aren’t anti-choice — that we think everyone should be able to choose the brand of shoes they wear and the fast food they prefer — but that we are anti-abortion.
But in embracing the pro-abortion label of “anti-choice” we have completely side-stepped their primary argument. It’s no longer a topic of debate. We agree with our opposition: we are decidedly anti-choice when it comes to the choice of killing a baby.
With our organization’s name and with our organization’s method of using abortion victim imagery we have shifted the entire debate away from “choice” and focused instead on what is being chosen. And the minute that happens, we win the argument. Every time.
I agree with Tom – and wonder if any time the phrase “pro-choice” was completed, to say “pro-choice to kill a baby” if the killing would not have stopped years ago.
Oh yeah i dont mind the anti choice label. Like my pastor told me “Just call them what THEY really are…pro death.”
