The Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) is a traveling photo-mural exhibit sponsored by The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and appearing at universities across the country. GAP compares the contemporary genocide of abortion to historically recognized forms of genocide, including the genocide visited upon our own people.

Members of L.E.A.R.N. New Jersey have participated in every single GAP exhibit by joining the CBR staff in offering a rationale to all interested passersby.

By placing abortion images alongside traditionally recognized forms of genocide, GAP is expanding the context in which people think about abortion. Throughout history, society has a contemptible legacy of dehumanizing those who get in its way or have something we want. Once a people group is dehumanized, it is very easy to justify their mistreatment and destruction. Such is the current plight of the unborn child.

While there are significant differences which exist between each form of genocide, there are also striking similarities. Slavery, too, was an institution built on the concept of "choice" in which whites were given the choice to own or not own blacks as they saw fit. Even the chants of "choice" supporters are tragically reminiscent... "Against slavery? Don't own a slave"... "Against abortion? Don't have one".
