A New Jersey news crew recently produced a story on their own collective reaction to a video developed by Created Equal, a pro-life group that shows graphic images of abortion in public areas. Created Equal operates under free speech rights, setting up overt displays that put the reality of abortion in plain view for passers-by in busy pedestrian locales.
The crew, Chasing New Jersey, watched the following Created Equal video, and “Chaser” Bill Anderson instigated a discussion about their reactions (second video) after they saw it. Warning: The first video below contains graphic abortion images. GRAPHIC VIDEO ON LINK This is the crew’s reaction: VIDEO ON LINK
Reactions were varied, including incredulity from a father who says he doesn’t allow his nine-year-old to watch horror movies that are much less gruesome than the abortion images. A female member of the crew, however, shared that her friends wished they had been given the opportunity to know what abortion was really all about before they underwent the ordeal themselves. “People don’t get an opportunity to see something like this,” she said.
Another crew member summarized the video’s ultimate message poignantly, saying:
Regardless of how you feel on the issue, if their goal was to get you to evoke these emotions, and these visual images for the word ‘abortion,’ I mean they did a great job. I’m never going to forget that for the rest of my life.
Virtually no one likes this method of education — pro-lifers and abortion advocates alike — but such advocates of life as Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life have long held that “America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion.” Consequently, what have come to be known as “graphic images campaigns” now dot the nation in an effort to educate the public about what abortion is in a country steeped in rhetoric and sophistry that often divorce abortion’s reality from our sanitized way of thinking about it.

"Reactions were varied, from incredulity from a father who says he doesn’t allow his nine-year-old to watch horror movies that are much less gruesome than the abortion images." To this father: those horror movies are fiction. These pictures are reality. Let's make abortion a fiction, so that your daughter, or granddaughter, does not have to grow up in this liberal-driven holocaust."
bttt
And there are people who insist that abortion is “beautiful”.
Amazing, isn’t it?
They’d be right at home in the third Reich.
Well, you know what they say, The Truth Hurts.
Considerably less, though, than having your arms and legs ripped off.
You make a good point. I was just adding to it.
Thanks for sharing that. Medical procedures require informed consent. Women should be told/shown just exactly what an abortion is. If the public really knew...but I rant too much. I just posted it to my FB. Let the unfriending begin.
Years and years ago going into the local city park for some big event with my young son these folks were holding their big signs with the gory photos.
I diverted my son’s attention somehow (ponies??), and gave the guys a thumbs up.
Bttt
The time has come for this.
And weekly re-runs of 9/11 film
And yet liberals love to show images of cancerous lungs for their anti-smoking agenda.
Let’s be honest; if people saw images of these precious aborted babies cut into pieces, it would definitely hurt their agenda. Sadly, some folks just don’t have a clue what the end results of this barbaric practice are.
These images should be shown. People would stop calling them fetuses, and start calling them babies.
The Left are a bunch of ghouls!
They want to require photos of injured lungs on cigarette packages. How about requiring photos of aborted fetuses on the medical "consent" form when applying for an abortion?
And the same liberals ignore similar health risks when promoting the homosexual life style.
Images are powerful.
Much of the modern belief that Nazism was infinitely worse than Communism is because we have all these images of the Nazi camps, and few if any of the Commie camps.
See it this way in this film before you have to consider the abortion ‘option’ or see it this way in your head (and dreams) after...one of these is better than the other.
Totally agree.....My knee-jerk reaction is always to believe that Nazism was more horrendous than Communism—yet the body count doesn’t lie when it comes to the truth.
I wish some rich pro-lifer would start posting the most horrendous aborto-images on billboards nationwide in an effort to destroy the abortion industry and expose it for what it really is.
I absolutely agree, I will bring this to the attention of my pro-life group this week, we did our prayer vigil for the forty days for life, but my question since then has been - “how do we shut this abortion mill down?”... HK
