Pro-Coburn Abortion Trucks Hit Tulsa

The abortion controversy is hitting a little too close to home for some Oklahomans. Tuesday, trucks carrying graphic anti-abortion billboards were seen making the rounds in downtown here, stirring up plenty of emotion on both sides of the issue.

That anti-abortion message shows pictures of aborted human embryos and fetuses in a push to sway voters heading to the polls in November.

"They shouldn't be allowed to display that graphic picture on the trucks over and over downtown while I'm going to lunch," said Christy Mueller, who supports the right to an abortion.

So far, the pictures have accomplished what Bill Calvin and the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, or CBR, set out to do which is evoke emotion. But they're also trying to influence this year's elections, specifically the U.S. Senate race between former congressman Tom Coburn and Congressman Brad Carson.

This brings back some memories. In 1992 some nut ran an ad with a bunch of aborted fetuses during a Braves game on July Fourth weekend. It was a day game and I was eating lunch at the time. Fortunately, I think the guy lost his primary race.
