Justice For All Exhibit (2000)
Justice For All Exhibit 2000 (Side 1), Colorado State University, April 2013
2000 - present
The original Justice For All Exhibit was first displayed in 2000 and consists of fifteen panels, forming a triangle 18 feet tall and 40 feet on each side. The content of the Exhibit has also been displayed in an 8-foot outdoor exhibit, in a virtual online version (below), and in a Powerpoint version shared by JFA presenters. Perhaps the most popular version of this exhibit is a brochure version (four inches by nine inches). Thousands of copies have been distributed to students who have requested them.
JFA trains volunteers to use the material in this exhibit to create dialogue by asking questions with an open heart, listening to understand, and finding common ground. For more information on how Justice For All balances truth with love, why JFA uses graphic visuals of abortion, and the effect of graphic visuals on people who see them, visit WHAT: Love and Truth.
VIRTUAL EXHIBIT

Updates
See the addendum to the JFA Exhibit 2000, What Are the Facts?, for updated numbers on how many abortions take place each day in the US, reasons women give for abortion, and other updates on Exhibit content.
On page 17 of the brochure (Side 3, Panel 4 of the campus Exhibit), JFA claims that 82% of all abortions occur on single women. The Guttmacher Institute updated this number recently in its Characteristics of U.S. Abortion Patients, 2008. In 2008, the percentage of women getting abortions who were unmarried was 85%.

Images
All images of the unborn (fetal development and abortion) are dated from fertilization.
Thank you to the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR) for providing the abortion images found on the Justice For All Exhibit (2000).

Side 1: humanity of the Unborn Child
Side 1, Panel 1 (Page 2): “Human embryos and human fetuses are human beings, each with their own unique genetic DNA.” -- Ralph P. Miech, M.D. (Professor Emeritus of Molecular Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biotechnology at Brown University)
“When fertilization is complete, a unique genetic human entity exists.”– C. Christopher Hook, Mayo Clinic, quoted by Richard Ostling in an AP news story, 9/24/99

“…the status of the fetus has been elevated to that of a patient who, in large measure, can be given the same meticulous care that obstetricians provide for pregnant women.” Williams Obstetrics, 20th Edition, F. Cary Cunningham et. al., Appleton & Lange, 1996, p. 78
(In the more recent Williams Obstetrics, 25th Edition, p. 124, the substance of this comment is preserved, but with slightly different wording: “An important result is that fetal status has been elevated to that of a patient who, in large measure, can be given the same meticulous care that obstetricians provide for gravidas. In our 25th edition, the entirety of Section 5 is dedicated to the fetal patient, as are individual chapters in other sections. Indeed, virtually every aspect of obstetrics can affect the developing fetus.”)
