Billboards representing opposing sides of the abortion debate are popping up around Columbus, Ohio. Less than two blocks from the Columbus Planned Parenthood surgical abortion center, a new billboard reads, “Killing A Baby Is No Way To Plan Parenthood” pictured next to an eleven week fetus.

Your Right.” The anti-abortion billboard was designed and funded by a group of abolitionists who view abortion as murder and seek to abolish it in the name of Jesus Christ. The pro-abortion billboard was funded by feminists. Both billboard projects were a grassroots effort funded by obviously passionate individuals.
