God Bless these people. This is an absolutely amazing idea and should be lauded. No taxpayer funding for it, no lobbying in the legislature, just a group of folks doing God’s work.
Once a woman sees that there’s a living entity within her, it must be mind-blowing! I cannot wait for my fiancée and I to get pregnant, and she’s really excited at the idea that she’ll be bearing a gift from God, a child whose life means as much to the world as every one of God’s children.
I wonder if this group takes donations...
Just tweeted to my few followers to look at the article. Thanks
While the purpose is admirable, the approach is kind of chancy, and his insurance must be in the stratosphere.
Hard to imagine many women taking up a stranger’s offer to climb into his van, even to see her etchings.
That’s great news. I just posted the story on facebook page
Libs in Virginia went absolutely berserk over this, but in the end, Republicans won out. A state senator named Kathy Byron was the sponsor of the bill, and the hero in all this.
Any pro-choicer who claims to want abortion to be “rare” simply cannot oppose this bill. Of course, they all did, because in reality they don't want abortion to be rare.
“What a great idea!”

Good for them!!!
(It’s also good mental therapy to get away from all the contentious GOP Primary posts for a few minutes!)
Thanks for posting this article. Incredible.
The alternative to abortion group in Worcester has offices almost next door to the abortion clinic. Problem Pregnancy offers ultrasounds and counselors, and there are people outside the abortion clinic ready and willing to guide young women in for those services.
Wonderful report but have concerns:
“The Stork bus ... doesn’t require a permit or special permission to park. It will fit in a parking space or even at a meter. It is an abortion clinic’s worst nightmare.”
If the Stork bus is statistically successful, it will bring the abortion crowd down on it and there will be permits and red tape to follow. Count on it.
It would be good to formulate as part of a business plan to obtain operating permits before it becomes a news item, a permit in every city and town where it is intended to be operated and with pre-approval to operate in areas known to be within a short walking distance of abortion clinics.
There will also be attacks against the bus, graffiti, angry sign waving abortion supporters and smears in the press that it is a right wing religious intrusion into their bodies. The business plan should have procedures on how to deal with these contingencies.

Watch for these people to be shut down by government—the Abortion is Sacred crowd is dangerous. They will attack these people.
Thanks for posting this article. I just passed it along in e-mail.
