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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Pilot program? Ba-dum-bum!

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

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.
