Mark Harrington, head of the anti-abortion-rights group Created Equal, announced in a press release and YouTube video today that he is launching a new effort called “The Hillary Project” in which he and fellow activists will attempt to “personally present” Hillary Clinton “with actual unborn children” at campaign stops.
While Harrington doesn’t make clear in what form he will present these “actual unborn children” to Clinton, he seems to make a distinction between his new project and the graphic images that his group routinely uses at protests:
Created Equal PAC, a project anti-abortion activist Mark Harington, is launching an effort to present Hillary Clinton with the victims of abortion. Mark Harrington, acting the volunteer director for Created Equal PAC, will be directing activists to personally present presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with actual unborn children at campaign stops around the country. Additionally, Mark will be coordinating public protests at Clinton public events using abortion victim imagery.
There is precedent for this: In 1992, an anti-abortion protester with Operation Rescue “thrust a fetus in a plastic container” at Bill Clinton while he was leaving for a morning jog during the Democratic National Convention in New York.
Created Equal spent this summer protesting at both the Democratic and Republican conventions, including hiring planes to fly graphic banners over both conventions.
