Face the Truth Recap
— Posted by John (July 20, 2009 at 10:59 am)
Our Face the Truth Tour last week went great!
We had big crowds of pro-lifers at all our sites, and on two sites on the last day we had enough volunteers to hold all 88 of our large signs.
Before the Tour, we realized we only had a few thousand Face the Truth brochures left, so we had another 10,000 printed. It’s a good thing we did, because we now have only a few hundred left—everything else was distributed to drivers and people walking by our display who wanted to know more about it.
It’s not uncommon during a Face the Truth Tour to have some people just happen to pass by and decide spontaneously to join us, but this seemed to happen even more often than in years past. Praise God!
Thankfully, we had no major run-ins with local police departments this year, unlike the last two years.
Most importantly, though, countless hearts were changed after seeing the ugly reality of abortion.
We hope to have a full report on this year’s Tour on the Pro-Life Action League site soon.

The other side’s view:
“Many PLAL members attempted friendly conversation, but merely as a tactic to temporarily distract us from handing out fliers and yelling chants. These smooth attempts at small talk often exposed the appalling, yet not surprising, ignorance behind the group’s agenda…. Aside from the artificial kindness and small talk, one PLAL member stooped so low as to insult one of us with sexist and homophobic remarks. To some, all of the compassion and talk of “Jesus’ love and forgiveness” may seem genuine at first. As the day went on, however, the false exterior dwindled away to expose the truth behind their message; hateful ignorance and a complete lack of respect for a woman’s life and body.”
