Activist group to display anti-abortion exhibit

The Metro chapter of Justice For All, an anti-abortion organization, will be hosting a traveling exhibit near the flagpole area for four days next week.

The exhibit, which is 18 feet tall, consists of a 15-panel display with graphic images depicting dead human fetuses and written text explaining the group's stance on abortion. The display will be presented from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sept. 29 and 30, and Oct. 3 and 4 near the flagpole area.

In addition to the exhibit, the group will also offer free speech boards where people can share their thoughts on abortion, the display, or any other topic. Members of Justice for All will also be present to answer questions and explain the group's views.
