Anti-abortion truck to visit Portsmouth By PHYLLIS NOAH, PDT Staff Writer
A billboard truck with graphic anti-abortion pictures plastered on the sides of it will be rolling into Portsmouth on Thursday in a “Reversing Roe” tour.
The tour has been driving through Ohio cities since last Monday. Portsmouth will be the last stop on the tour of 15 cities, although Mark Harrington, executive director of the Center for Bio Ethical Reform Midwest and president of Reform America, says that the truck won’t really stop, but rather will drive around town letting people see the graphic pictures on the sides.
The tour coincides with President Bush’s nomination of John G. Roberts to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the U.S. Supreme Court. A bill to ban abortion in Ohio, HB 228, has been introduced as a test case against Roe v. Wade by 16 Ohio legislators in the Ohio House.
