Anti-Obama protesters splash graphic abortion images via plane, truck around South Bend
http://www.wsbt.com/news/local/43922462.html

A group opposed to President Barack Obama’s upcoming commencement speech protested high above the Notre Dame campus Tuesday.

The group, The Center For Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR), had a small plane circle the campus starting about 5:30 p.m. with a 50-by-100 foot banner of a dead 10-week-old fetus behind it.

CBR also is responsible for displaying large abortion photos on the sides and backs of billboard trucks in the South Bend area, which began this week. The trucks and the plane will be a constant presence until the May 17 commencement speech, said Mark Harrington, spokesman for CBR.

At a later date, Harrington said, the plane will switch between the billboard seen Tuesday and one that will read: “Abortion is Terror,” which also will show a picture of a fetus.

3. Not necessarily insane, but definitely an anachronism
Like the Flat Earth Society, you see.

Just as the Roman Catholic Church sided with Aristotle over the heliocentric universe and tried to shut Galileo up. You just can't stop scientific inquiry.

5. "If you're prenatal, you're OK. If you're preschool, you're fucked!"
George Carlin on the 'pro-lifer' stance
