The left doesn’t want discussions of procedures like this to be take place for the same reason they don’t want graphic pictures of aborted babies to be shown in ads. They work. Communicating facts like this helps us win the argument. The left will usually say something like it’s inappropriate or offensive to show these things. But the left is only really offended by one thing, conservatives succeeding.
Newt is no less pro-life than Santorum by their rhetoric and their records. Congrads to him for out-pro-lifing Santorum last night when it comes to making the argument. The fact that it’s being talked about today means he is already succeeding. Just spouting the standard pro-life platitudes doesn’t drive the national debate. We need strong, incendiary rhetoric, images or advertising to bring the issue to the forefront of national discussion. There is far too much complacency with the status quo on abortion on both sides of the aisle.

You are correct. It also shows the stark differences in the candidates in how they approach the subject.
Romney
I am pro-life, always have been. Except that there are statements and actions to the contrary.
Ron Paul
I have delivered thousands of babies as a doctor. I have always been pro-life.
Rick Santorum
No one can deny I am pro-life.
Newt Gingrich
I am pro-life and want to point out that Obama has voted not only for abortion but for the killing of live babies and the media conspires to cover it up.
