Pro-life billboards<\/a> across America are known for the messages of hope, compassion, and truth about the value of human life in the womb. But now, a small pro-abortion group in Minnesota is attempting to counter pro-life messaging by plastering their own roadside billboards containing messages promoting abortion.<\/p>\n

Pro-life Across America is an organization dedicated to helping mothers to obtain resources, and to humanizing preborn babies through education on fetal development to fight the abortion industry’s lies. The non-profit, non-political organization has four star rating of over 91% on Charity Navigator<\/a>. Their testimonials<\/a> illustrate the important role these boards have had for some women who chose life for their babies.<\/p>\n

But some in Minnesota can\u2019t stand seeing the pro-life message so prominently displayed in their community. \u201cI\u2019m really frustrated with the amount of anti-choice billboards going up,\u201d said Kristin Brietzke, a government worker, according to City Pages<\/a>. Intolerance of the pro-life message in the public square is an attitude common among abortion activists today, as evidenced by efforts to pressure Google<\/a> against giving pro-life pregnancy resource centers equal space in response to searches for keywords like \u201cfree pregnancy test\u201d or \u201cpregnancy symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brietzke and Kelly Searle, an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota, started Minnesota Billboard Project, a pro-abortion advocacy group. Their billboard project aims to counter the success of pro-life billboards by raising money to commission a series of pro-abortion billboards, which they plan to roll out at the Minnesota State Fair.<\/p>\n
