Pro-Life banners line portion of St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans

January 5, 2016

By Staff, Louisiana Right to Life

NEW ORLEANS – New Orleans and Louisiana Right to Life have partnered together to have 16 streetlight banner signs installed along historic St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans between St. Joseph Street and State Street. The signs went up Dec. 10.

The two-sided pink banners, intended to raise awareness regarding the humanity of the unborn, display a 19-week-old baby in utero and state: “Give Her Life a Chance! First Heartbeat 22 Days after Conception!”

This is the pro-life banner New Orleans and Louisiana Right to Life have partnered together to have 16 streetlight banner signs installed along historic St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans . The banners went up Dec. 10.

Benjamin Clapper, Executive Director of Louisiana Right to Life, said, “Under Louisiana state law babies may be aborted up to 20 weeks fetal age for any reason. We hope the banners help educate the public by highlighting the humanity of the unborn child so often overlooked in our society.”

Shanon Snyder, Projects Director for New Orleans Right to Life, worked with the city of New Orleans and its contractors to get the banners installed. The project came about after Robert Winn, president of New Orleans Right to Life, heard about similar signs put up by Students for Life at the University of Southern California. Winn saw this as an effective way to bring the pro-life debate to the minds of New Orleans residents, Snyder said.

“Abortion ends a unique, precious and valuable human life – a human life not unlike you or me,” Snyder said. “By putting these banners at the heart of New Orleans we hope to remind the public that every life is worth protecting, including those yet to be born.”
