Why is he out promoting graphic pictures? That’s not right or shows that he’s sane. If he was in view of my house, I’d insist he be arrested...esp. if there are children around. He is NOT going to change minds by getting in peoples facing forcing his idea’s on people. He should peacefully get signatures from respectable places...then change the law. He’s only creating resentment! They are probably causing traffic accidents too.

“He’s only creating resentment!”

Let me ask you a question, Fawn. Was it folks like William Wilberforce creating resentment by revealing the conditions on the slave ships?

Or was it the people who enslaved men women and children creating resentment?

We put graphic pictures of diseased organs on cigarette packages to deter people from smoking. Are the people in government who mandate these things not sane?

We show history students graphic images of Holocaust victims. Are schoolteachers therefore insane? Was Stephen Spielberg insane for making Schindler's List so graphic?

Student drivers are shown the graphic consequences of reckless or impaired driving. Are driving teachers and the police insane?

Of course not. We all recognize that there are situations when graphic, sometimes even gory, images are exactly the method of persuasion that is needed.

How do you know they aren't also doing this?

He is also changing minds. Yes, the pictures are horrible. But the pictures are also true. If we are so upset by the horror in the pictures, why is it that we allow the horrible thing that they portray? I think the majority of Canadians are simply complacent about abortion; after all, we haven't had a law restricting it in nearly 25 years. Maybe a bloody fetus or two is just the kick in the pants some people need to start thinking about whether that's the Canada they want to live in.
