Bravo to all these people who have the guts to SHOW the TRUTH! Right to abortion laws may never be overturned, but I guarantee these folks sure changed a few minds when the hundreds of thousands of cars went by this horrific signs. Yes, tough to look at. Yes, tough to stomach. But, these people are some of the only voices the unborn have. Bravo, brave people of life!

I think it's great that we live in a country where these people can protest. The same country that affords me the legal right to have an abortion if I so desire. Bravo to those who are Pro-Choice.

Thank you both for your comments!

These people and their graphic photos are disgusting. How many unwanted children have they adopted?

Eugenics at work.

There is a reason a woman has a choice. The radical protesters don't know the circumstances of every situation. I have just recently moved to Wheaton and was digusted when I had to drive by this. I also don't think the police would have been as friendly if this was such a biased town. I am a little disappointed and hope this isn't what goes on around here since i bought a home in what i thought was a tolerant town.

Vincent, I have news for you. Women who choose abortion are making one of, if not THE most important difficult decisions of their lives. You seem to think they do so with no more than a second thought. You believe the stereotypes and nothing more. You have no understanding of the circumstances, nor do you care. It's too bad you and your conservative friends couldn't care less about these babies once they are actually born. Need money for food or housing? Too bad! Want to go to a school that provides enough resources to be effective? Too bad! Want health care insurance in case you get sick? Too bad!

And there are thousands of disadvantaged children being born into terrible circumstances. Charities may have the best of intentions, but they cannot provide all that is needed. I do not endorse abortion. It is a terrible thing. The mother's "soul" is destroyed a bit. But it is a choice that should be left personal.

I think Democrats should have a right to choose.

P.S.—thank you everyone for keeping this clean

I am all about people having the right to form their own opinion on this topic. However, I have a problem when people are showing graphic pictures like these for all to see. How do you explain that to kids in the car when they ask you what that is? It's inappropriate and disrespectful to expose young children to graphic images like that and it opens a dialogue that no parent needs to be having with their kids. There is a time and a place for everything, but a busy intersection with graphic pictures is not the way to do it.

I am with Stephanie above. I drove through Palatine today and was shocked by what I saw. There is a time and a place for everything, and I agree a busy intersection with graphic pictures is not the way. I have rights too and although I am not in favor of abortion I would prefer not to have your rights and pictures shoved down my throat.

Thanks for the heads up! If they want adults to see this, let them. But I'll make it a point to skip this area when I am with my children. Exposing them to these issues at this age is unacceptable. As for the comments that looking at a poster of a dead fetus is going to stop someone from having an abortion (a previous commenter "guaranteed" this) I'd love to see the evidence. It seems to me that this group could do more good by looking into why people who are likely to have an abortion and help them to not get pregnant. Then abortion becomes moot.

Americans have spent billions of dollars on this issue, campaign contributions, TV ads, picketing, religious events, legal fee's ect.

With all that money we could have saved the aborted children and given them a strong head start, but instead we demonize each other, and remain a divided country.

Now would be a good time to reform the abortion laws, let women from all side of this issue start a new dialog with a common goal to reduce the number of abortions.

Men have a roll to play in this as well, by not getting women pregnant.

As a former fetus myself, I'm so happy to see people defending other helpless fetuses. The abortion issue always gets clouded by people shouting rhetoric about "circumstances of the mother", "the situation is tough", "how many unwanted babies have you adopted?" "gay rights", and so on. All of that is just noise. Abortion stripped down to his fundamental argument is quite simple. Is this unborn baby a human being and therefore entitled to its life just like rest of us? And if so, shouldn't it be protected and held in high regard by its own kind, its' fellow human beings who are able to come to its defense? Animals do better than us when it comes to this issue. This really shouldn't be an issue. Science has proven time and time again that in fact a human baby is growing inside a woman when she's pregnant. I've yet to read a story about a woman giving birth to anything other than a human being. Basically once we can all agree with common sense that a baby (who is completely innocent and has all the potential in the world) deserves to be born then all these separate issues can have a focus. Keep in mind that everyone holding these signs, upset by these signs, posting comments and reading these comments were once former fertilized eggs, zygotes, embryos, fetuses, babies, toddlers, children and all human beings.
