A Sea Of Red

Anyone seen this flying by today? Aparently the banner has blood on it with something like "No to 10 week Abortion. I heard about it flying over LU. I looked outside a minute ago and saw it a mile or two away but couldn't make out the banner. It looked like a piper cub.

How'd they fit all that on one banner?

It says TEN WEEK ABORTION and has a phone number on it. There's absolutely no way to tell if it's pro-abortion or anti-abortion. Apparently there's a picture on it that conveys the "no" on it but you can't make it out.

AHH Shaddup. You know where the closed qoute goes.

saw that driving home. From where I was I thought it had the judgement house logo on it, but couldnt tell what it was or what it said.

Sounds subtle. I've always been a fan of this subtle guy

It says "10 Week Abortion", and has a picture of an aborted fetus, much like those billboard trucks that the pro-life orgs drive around.

But honestly, other than all the other things you can say about it, what is the point in flying this over LU? Are they protesting LU's newly built abortion clinic and "pro-choic" stance? Are they trying to compete with the Godparent Home? I really don't get this at all.

Dude, I know you have help in the room, but you really should be screaming at your wife to push, not posting on flamefans.

It's been circling Madison Heights for 45 minutes or so.

especially pictures about abortion. what if someone glances at your screen while you await your childs birth, and there you are looking at stuff about abortion

Sorry, I was driving when I saw it. Didn't want to abort myself by trying to take a picture with my phone.

And on that note, congratulations to LUconn, little boy born at around 4:00 today.

Both times I saw the plane and banner it was way to far away to take a pic with the camera phone. Sorry!

Lynchburg, VA - A pilot took a pro-life message to the skies Monday in Lynchburg.

You may have seen this banner flying over Candlers Mountain. The banner says "ten week abortion" and shows an aborted fetus.

The pilot works for the Center for Bioethical Reform, a pro-life group known for its use of graphic images to argue against abortion.

Officials with Liberty University say they had no part in the flyover

We're told the plane will fly again Tuesday.

ok so why is lynchburg a target city for this?

Saw it circling LU and work again today!

Maybe it's a pilot program to see if it's worth taking abroad.

Pilot program? Ba-dum-bum!

Taking a broad? Isn't that how they got the problem in the first place? Ba-dum-bum!

Lib, you really shouldn't be drinking over the holidays!

cider, i had some delicious cider yesterday and thought of you, maybe creepy since weve never met, but to each his own

Hope it was sweet cider and not the hard stuff that Medic drinks (the hard stuff will stunt your growth).

ya know, I had that exact same thought when reading this yesterday but thought... "NO, that wouldn't go over well on this board"

thank you for not sharing my inhibitions.

hey, its not like I'm having Jager bombs for breakfast.

hmmm...

This campaign is one reason I'm glad I'm not in Lynchburg right now. I've been there during the more traditional picketing campaigns and it's a real appetite ruiner.
