DENVER, Aug. 26 /Christian Newswire/ -- As Michelle Obama and her entourage left their hotel this afternoon to go to the Democratic National Convention, they were confronted with huge images of aborted babies on Operation Rescue's fleet of Truth Trucks.

The Truth Trucks are also emblazoned with the website AbortionisanObamaNation.com, which directs viewers to a web site that features a video of an actual abortion as well as documentation of Sen. Barack Obama's radical support for abortion.

Truth Truck driver Bob Rothlisberger reports that Mrs. Obama stared at the Truth Trucks for several seconds.

"This is one of the reasons why it is so important for us to be at events like the DNC," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Without the Truth Trucks, I doubt if we would ever get the opportunity to show Mrs. Obama the reality of what her husband's extremist support for abortion really means, in human terms. A picture's worth a thousand words, and she definitely got the message today."

"It becomes a little more real when someone like Mrs. Obama sees her family name on top of photos of the bloody bodies of actual aborted babies. It is important for the Obamas to understand the very tragic consequences of their support for abortion. We pray that this encounter affects her on a very deep level and gives her more compassion for the innocent lives that are brutally and inhumanely killed by abortion," said Newman.
