Previous Face the Truth Tours

The concept of the Face the Truth was first conceived by Pastor Matt Trewhella, who in the 1990s began to blanket Wisconsin towns with pictures of healthy fetuses and aborted babies. League National Director Joe Scheidler was invited to one of these Wisconsin tours and was immediately impressed by this new approach of displaying graphic signs without a specific protest target.

Since 2000, the Pro-Life Action League has been holding Face the Truth tours in the Chicago area, as well as helping other organizations throughout the country to hold tours of their own. These efforts have been highlighted in news articles in the League's newspaper, Action News.
