Ultrasound Bus a Game Changer in the Fight for Life

HOUSTON — Six days a week, a big blue bus parks right across the street from Houston's Planned Parenthood clinic. At 78,000 square feet, it's one of the largest abortion facilities in the United States. The bus, operated by Houston's Coalition for Life, offers women contemplating an abortion a second chance. It provides free ultrasounds and pregnancy tests to any woman in need. Life and death decisions are literally made on the bus. More than 7,000 women have stepped aboard since it opened four years ago and nine out of 10 have decided to keep their unborn children.

9 out of 10 have decided to keep their unborn child. Taking the fight for the right to life to the streets. The Supreme Court, ignoring the right to life, shot down NC's law requiring ultrasound. The numbers of abortions are going down and this is attributed to the better images seen on ultrasound. Delay God's judgment of America, support or start an ultrasound program for the unborn.

Sort of shocked the power mad anti-Christian lesbian mayor of Houston has not tried to shut them down though police intimidation...

I think the article meant the PP Clinic in Houston is that. It mentions it as the largest abortion facility in the country.

"Because there's a 24-hour waiting period, they [the women] will go into the facility for their ultrasound," she told CBN News. "Then they come out afterwards. Then they go back in for an abortion so the hope is that they will pass a prayer warrior who will hand them one of these cards at any given time."

Remember the 24 hour waiting period went into effect on July 1, 2014....Thank You Texas...

Here's a sobering chart from NARAL

Correct, of course. I just thought the way it was written implied at first glance that the 78,000 SF was the bus size.

Yes. It was a little confusing. Bad reporting, actually. Perhaps a better tack would have been Bus in the title, then a description of the largest Abortion facility and then the bus and how it is beating the facility.....

This is something useful, positive, and life promoting. Yet we as conservatives continue to pursue an electoral politics strategy to accomplish positive change. It Doesn’t Work! 40 plus years of trying to curry political favor by ProLife Inc has left us in essentially the same place as we were in 1973 with regard to the legalities.

I like this analogy so I’ll use it again: conservatives are in a situation akin to a very bad marriage. In this marriage over time the wife has shot the dog, burned dowm the house, sold the children’s kidneys on craigslist, and drained the bank account to buy crack. And now we come home to find her banging the neighbors in the front yard.

The vast majority of our so-called conservative political leaders advocate staying the course. Because “this time it’ll be different.” The more “aggressive” of our “conservative leaders” go so far as to suggest some Stern Marital Counseling.

Rare indeed is the conservative leader who suggests doing anything different. Something that might even work.

Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood clinic director, writes:

"Abortion facilities don't want women to make that maternal connection [when they see an ultrasound of their baby] because then they lose money if the woman chooses life. . . Almost all the women walking in to have an abortion think it's a baby; when they ask you questions, they say, 'What about my baby?' They call it a baby, but the clinic workers are not going to respond in that same kind of language."

Abortion clinic says seeing image of preborn child may "make the decision harder"

Easier to murder a fetus than the meaning in Latin “unborn child.”
