I AGREE.
Hhhhmmmmmmmmm
perhaps our criteria for ‘prissy-ness’ are different.
I understand your point, and personally would be fine if I never saw one of those pictures again ... but I am pro-life. Abortion advocates need to see the images of the destruction they advocate.
Pictures of happy Jews may have convinced some Nazis of the evils of extermination camps — but images of the piles of corpses likely convinced more.
Gruesome images, while certainly offensive to the senses, are not an inherent evil when they convey truth.

“Bloodied baby corpse pictures harm our pro-life cause.” That is your opinion but if it were true than the liberals would not be so apoplectic in their reaction to these images being shown on campuses. If they hurt our cause the liberals would be happy to have us stand around with these photos so they could say “look at the crazy kooks”, but the reality is those photos have a deep and lasting impact on anyone who sees them and the liberals will do anything to stop people from seeing them.

Thanks for the great poster and link.
A few weeks ago I was carrying a sign in front of the abortion clinic and was speaking to a sidewalk counselor. A couple of men had brought a woman in for an abortion earlier, had left for awhile and were returning to the facility. Their actions (laughing, hollering) showed that the whole idea of abortion was like a juvenile field trip-—just something to do. When they came upon us, they rolled down their windows, laughed and laughed, and took our pictures with their cell phones. I suggested that the sidewalk counselor have them take a picture of the aborted baby sign if they wanted to share something with their friends. They grew very irate and told the counselor she was not to show that to their lady friend because they didn’t want her seeing it.
You are very welcome.
I love babies. I’ve carried seven, watched them leap on ultrasound, lost three, held two of those in my hands before burying them.
I’ve volunteered in a pregnancy crisis center, seen truth bent there, as far as development goes. Of course in abortion clinics they bend truth the other way, also in order to manipulate.
Why should our side ever bend the truth or think the truth isn’t enough?
“I am the way, the truth and the life.”
“The truth shall set you free.”
My apologies to you if you are not Christian. Any allies in this battle are to be cherished, no matter their faith, nor do I think they hold truth more lightly.
You are absolutely right. Thank you for your defense of the unborn.
I do know this man personally, and I have had the honour of working alongside him. You won’t find any better friend of the unborn than Greg Cunningham!
Sir, thank you first of all for your post.
I must respectfully disagree. You see, I was not prolife when I reached university. I ran into the GAP display in my first year, and the display, while provocative is truthful. People cannot comprehend the true horror of 40 million abortions unless they see these pictures for themselves.
I saw abortion as a sanitised surgical procedure, done with scapels with men in white coats. Now, I see the true horror before my eyes, of rivers of blood, of burnt heads seared with salt, of bits of baby carefully assembled to assure that there are none that remain inside the mother.
If it took the shock of these pictures to change how I saw abortion, then I cannot in good conscience deny others the same opportunity of repentence.
So glad that you know the good man. You have a powerful testimony as well! God bless you.
