ORLANDO -- A caravan of semitrailers displaying aborted fetuses on the sides of the trucks rolled through Orlando Thursday morning as a group from California kicked off its "Reproductive Choice Campaign."

Trucks Drive Through Orlando On I-4

The trucks will be driven by a group from Los Angeles known as the Center For Bio-Ethical Reform along Interstate 4.

The group's director, Greg Cunningham, said that they decided to visit Florida on their 11-city tour because the state is very influential, and it will soon become a political battleground with abortion being a major campaign issue.

"We're doing what we can to limit the exposure, but we're not going to be part of the coverup. And there's a coverup going on. We're being forced to do this because the television won't play it, we can't get a billboard on the side of the freeway. This is the only mass-media venue we've got left," Mark Harrington of the Center For Bio-Ethical Reform said.

And the message seemed to work on at least one person who witnessed the convoy drive by.

"(Those pictures) are horrible. But you know what, it makes you think twice about acutally (having an abortion). It really does," bystander Margo DeJesus said.

The tour kicked off in Tampa, Fla., earlier this week, after a trial run in Southern California in June. After Orlando, the trucks will visit Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach before heading to New York, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.

According to the group's Web site, the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform seeks justice for the unborn, the disabled, the infirm, the aged and all vulnerable peoples through education and the development of educational resources.

They also publish educational resources and conduct seminars about abortion.

The group was founded in July of 1990 as a privately-funded, nonprofit educational corporation, and they oppose violence against abortion doctors.
