Anti-abortion activists at Armstrong this afternoon
02/04/2016 3:23 PM by John M
Two activists from the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform took a place at the edge of the Armstrong High School property, said a prayer, and propped themselves behind large photos of aborted fetuses this afternoon after a similar action at Thomas Jefferson High School on Tuesday.
School security and administrative personnel engaged the activists, as students bustled by seemingly entirely more concerned with just not being in school any longer today.
A post on the public Thomas Jefferson High School Facebook group indicates that the school system was given prior notice that the activists would be in place, though it is unclear if this was communicated to parents or students.

Shouldn’t they be protesting FOR wider availability of contraceptives, then..?
It would be interesting to see the reaction from Henrico or Chesterfield if they tried this at Godwin or James River. This is “freedom of speech” at its worst. More racist undertone than the Confederate Flag “heritage not hate” crowd…..disturbing.
Frank, thanks for that drama queen rant. You’ve made my day. CHEERS!
I really don’t understand what they thought this would accomplish, though I suppose we are talking about it…
@8 totally agreed, and better yet why not have the health dept. or other city depts. talking about high teen preg. rates among minority teens. So sad.
What was the CDC report just the other day about all the kids that have fetal alcohol syndrome. These fine protester ladies should be working on the root cause which is drunk sex, low self esteem, role models, and contraception. Box that up and it could be presented to white schools too. #wasteofenergy
I don’t know that is was these specific ladies, but they have done this in Chesterfield County at predominately white schools.
I’m just amazed these were women. Usually it’s guys carrying around the doctored pictures.
Twenty to thirty years ago, these images would have been traumatic. Nowadays, I see more gruesome images on video games. They’d probably due better by educating the students, rather than trying to shock them.
