Anti-Abortion Tour Returns to Aurora, Naperville Area July 19
Tour kicks off July 11 with stops in nearby communities.
The Pro-Life Action League will bring its anti-abortion demonstration back to the Aurora area on Saturday, July 19.
For the ninth year, demonstrators will stand at intersections bearing signs as part of the annual "Face the Truth" tour. Friday marks the first stop on the tour.
The group is known for its outspoken opposition to abortion, which often includes demonstrations using graphic images of aborted fetuses.
Demonstrations are scheduled at the following times and locations:
- 9 to 10:30 a.m.: Aurora Planned Parenthood, Eoloa Road and New York Street
- 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Washington Street and Ogden avenue
- 3 to 4:30 p.m.: Fox Valley Mall, Route 59 and Aurora Avenue/New York Street
On its website, the Pro-Life Action League explains its reasons for using graphic images of abortion:
"While [drivers] may find the pictures disturbing as they pass by, we see no evidence that any real harm is done. In fact, a child who sees the truth about abortion may be spared grave harm later in life by avoiding any involvement with abortion."
The organization has demonstrations planned throughout the Chicago area and suburbs July 11 through July 19. View a schedule of planned demonstrations here.
