As we have noted several times in recent weeks, Faith 2 Action’s Janet Porter has recently resurfaced in her native Ohio and is leading the effort to pass anti-choice legislation called “The Heartbeat Bill.”

As part of this push, Porter has organized effort to send red, heart-shaped balloons to state legislators and today they are going to be delivered:

Thousands of shiny red heart-shaped balloons will be delivered to legislators today thanking (nearly half the House members who are co-sponsors) and encouraging the others to “Have a Heart! Support the Heartbeat Bill!” The Heartbeat Bill, which will be introduced this week, will legally protect all human beings in the state whose heartbeat can be heard. … Thousands of balloons, sent by residents from all over the state of Ohio and nation, will be delivered today to the 99 state representatives at the Vern Riffe State Office Tower. “The Heartbeat Bill insures that if a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected,” states Janet (Folger) Porter, the president of Faith2Action and coordinator of bill-related efforts through www.HeartBeatBill.com. “You can help pass what will be the nation’s most protective legislation when you go to www.HeartBeatBill.com,” added Porter. “We’re not going to wait any longer because the time to protect the babies is now.”

Last week Porter and other activists, including Phll Burress of Citizens for Community Values, gathered for a press conference in a room filled with these balloons during which Porter reported that she is already getting calls from legislators in Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas, Kansas, and Arizona who are interested in introducing similar bills in their own states:

This is quite a change from Porter’s recent activism wtih Cindy Jacobs praying that God will give Christians control over the media and every level of government:
