Bumper Stickers
—
…The day after I decided to launch this website to end legalized abortion, I thought of bumper stickers. It didn’t take me long to realize that this campaign would not succeed without them.
…The majority of people on either side of the issue may go for days or weeks without thinking about it. Then, one may see news coverage of a pro-abortion demonstration or perhaps a pro-life march. Like a bump in a road we’ve hit and passed, it’s back to smooth sailing with nary a thought about the matter for another lengthy period of time. Bumper stickers are reminders, jogging the memory. My bumper sticker is even a reminder to me.
…As we who are anti-murder talk with a person who is pro-murder, giving him/her the scientific fact that life begins at conception and refuting his/her arguments, it is unlikely that individual will suddenly change in the midst of the discussion. Seeing a bumper sticker reminds that person later of what has been said. It renews the discussion in one’s mind.
…Even abortion workers who are daily involved with murdering the unborn need to be reminded of that horrible fact. Many of them have thought about what they’re doing but have filed it away, divorced themselves from the reality of ending a human life in order to continue their work. One abortion clinic worker wrote, “As I have since learned is the case with many ex-clinic workers, I had to fight to ignore and separate myself from my feelings concerning my vocation.”1 The bumper sticker will be a reminder to them of what they want to file away and not think about.
…The bumper sticker may become the first contact someone has with this campaign. People may see it, see the website name, and come to the website to discover what it’s all about. It thus provides a way to contact people we have yet to talk with face-to-face.
…The bumper sticker reveals abortion as murder, what pro-murder arguments always avoid. It also connects the problem with the solution. The reason we still have a million unborn babies being slaughtered each year is the Murder Party and all who vote for them. Vote for the party which is against abortion and against the Murdercrats who are for it. Only politics will end the holocaust against the unborn and those who vote for the Murder Party are casting their votes to continue it.
…Even as late as election day, someone may see the bumper sticker on a car parked outside of the non-campaigning zone and be pricked in their hearts by that fresh memory just before they pull the lever to vote.
…The bumper sticker is a way to change the discussion by putting it in front of people all the time.
