Lila Rose was over the line with her undercover stings on Planned Parenthood.
Pro-lifers holding up graphic abortion signs are over the line.
The Susan B. Anthony List pointing out in a billboard that a vote for Obamacare was a vote for federal funding of abortion was way over the line.
Trying to talk to women entering an abortion clinic is over the line.
Tim Tebow thanking his mother for choosing life in a SuperBowl ad was waaaaaay over the line.
And now, a pro-life organization erecting a billboard explaining that the abortion rate among African American women is at about 60% making the womb the most dangerous place for an African American baby is also way over the line.
Check out the outrage over the billboard in a local news story:
Nowhere is it mentioned that the abortion industry may be over the line when 60 percent of African American babies are killed in the womb. 60 percent!!!!
Who’s really over the line here? We’re constantly accused of being over the line when we simply point out the reality about abortion in America.
Pro-lifers have so much momentum right now. We are slowly winning hearts and minds but to win we must continue to advance our agenda. We must stay on the offensive while being accused of being offensive perpetually. Just know that every time Big Abortion yells that we’ve somehow crossed a line, we’re probably making progress.
Keep it up pro-lifers!

As Harry Truman said: "I never gave anybody hell. I just told the truth on them and they thought it was hell!"

Totally agreed, except I have some misgivings about the sting operations. First off, lying, even to Planned Parenthood, is morally problematic- yes, a couple of Church Fathers (St. John Chrysostom comes to mind)say it is permitted to lie to save someone's life. But such an opinion is held only by a small minority of theologians in any given age.
Second, even putting aside the moral concerns, there is a real danger of reprisal stings being carried out in return. For instance, a pregnant woman goes to a JMJ, then claims she was psychologically harmed by them "pressuring" her to keep the baby. It sounds absurd, but we live in a crazy world.
Thirdly, the pro-life movement does not need to use morally problematic tactics to succeed- we should allow the pro-abortion movement to keep its monopoly on lying to and manipulating others. Pro-abort activists need to hide who they really are. We do not.
We simply need to keep showing the truth about abortion, and most of all, we need to pray and sacrifice.

I love how breathless the anchor is in introducing the story.
NOWHERE in their report did they actually give that statistic, did they?

"… lying, even to Planned Parenthood, is morally problematic …"
You're assuming the truth of the matter in question. Many believe that engaging in a sting operation doesn't equal "lying". Those who want to call it "lying" have the burden of proof (since they're accusing others of engaging in sinful behavior), and such burden of proof requires answering to my satisfaction whether undercover law enforcement officers are "lying" when they engage in similar activities.

"… lying, even to Planned Parenthood, is morally problematic …"
I don't believe that the sting operation was lying in the sense that they were doing anything immoral. Pope Pius XII "lied" in order to save many Jews from extermination by Hitler. He did this to save lives, just as Lila Rose and her sting operations had to "lie" in order to save the lives of the unborn and the lives of children who are being trafficked for prostitution.
Planned Parenthood needs to have their abortion mills exposed for what they are…baby killing machines under the guise of "women's health".
