On a recent day using our technique of street outreach via pamphlets, TVs, and fetal models in the Bronx a few very encouraging things happened.First or all, for a place where a very high percentage of abortions are committed - almost everyone who mentioned something to us was supportive of our work. In fact, even if they were 'pro-choice' they would respectably approach us and say, "Let me ask you a question - what about when the girl.... [insert a common excuse for abortion]?" And they would ask sincerely and earnestly and we would respond with the pro-life response.
Not that we were just amongst fellow pro-lifers in that neighborhood - but even the pro-choicers listened and probably most importantly - the ignorant learned. And believe me - that would not happen in a white neighborhood in Manhattan.
Very many people love our fetal models and we love teaching about fetal development and I think that, in particuliar, may be the most positive effect of taking pro-life activism to the streets of New York.
