Anti-abortion protests target area churches

An anti-abortion group targeted Salem Heights Church (Oregon) for the second time, displaying graphic images of aborted fetuses Sunday. The 4-foot-by-8-foot posters angered some passersby and neighbors. Leaders at Salem Heights Church tried to dissuade the group from coming and sent out a letter warning neighbors and church members. The letter affirms the church's teachings on the sanctity of life, but also disapproves of the group's tactics. Display organizer and Salem resident Darius Hardwick said he understands the images are difficult to look at, but he hopes they will inspire Christians to get involved in the anti-abortion cause.
