Pro-life vid of day: Protesters meet Jumbo Tron at U of FL
by Kelli
Created Equal took their Jumbo Tron, displaying images of abortion victims, to the University of Florida campus on March 11. In their latest email, they describe what greeted them when they arrived:
The protesters had said their goal was to create a “safe space” for students, but their actions — such as forming a tunnel of shouting abortion advocates through which all students taking the main sidewalk had to pass — suggested otherwise. Nevertheless, their attempt to distract from our mission failed.
Frantic clapping and shouting cannot hide the bloody faces of victims. On the contrary, it often incites more curiosity in passersby. Students and media alike were drawn to the outreach site to see what was taking place. Some sympathetic to the protesters’ message told us they were embarrassed by their behavior, and we even received the following report from a traveling evangelist on site the same day as us:
Tonight I am praising God that the extreme rudeness and vulgarity displayed by pro-abortion protesters today at UF contributed to at least two young ladies turning to the Lord. . . . I wonder how many other people turned to Christ today simply because they didn’t want to be like the hateful pro-aborts. — Tom Short

I’m trying to count. Were there 20 to 30 protesters?
This is good work, Created Equal! We need to deliver our message, be honest and faithful to it. Let them react to us.
That was the mistake of the RFRA law in Indiana: the good people of Indiana are doing the right thing to protect human rights, but then they let a minority of protesters control the message.

Another edifying example of how sometimes (or often, as in the case of abortion), all you have to do to win an argument is let your opponent do most or all of the talking.
The truth of abortion is becoming increasingly evident to more and more people; as expected, the desperation of the reactions of those who demand its denial follows suit.
