A good lawyer should be able to shame the prosecution. Of course the picture was obscene!!
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Peter Ryan says it is incredible when someone can be accused of a crime for peacefully protesting the murder of innocent children. "Here's the analogy," he said. "The Nazi death camps are exterminating Jews. Outside someone protests with an image of the Holocaust. The camp staff complains to police. The person is arrested as a criminal. The slaughter goes on. That's where we now are in this country."
You mean it's ok to kill babies as long as you don't show pictures of them?
It is often a very sick world we live in...
Way to go Suzy!!!
Never give up, never give up, never, never, never!!!
Is there any hard evidence that the displaying of these types of images actually prevents abortions? Just curious.
And, well let me see, if the picture of an aborted baby was obscene how can the act of abortion not also be. Scratching my head....
I find pictures of homosexuals engaging in kissing and stuff offensive and obscene. Does that mean they can't be displayed in public? Or worse yet performed in public?

Well, no. Some animals are more equal than others.

Suzie Ryan courageously went up against The Purveyors Of Evil (David Kupelian's "The Marketing Of Evil") and got steamrollered by their tanks. But she made her point.
Oh, that Congress had such backbone! Something might get done. Oh, that our high judges might use their minds instead of their convenience.
The American public was sold a bill of goods back at the time of Roe vs. Wade, so that even doctors bought it and have murdered an estimated 43,000,000 people, in varying stages of development, since then. Kupellian compares it to the mesmerism of Hitler that got his country to perpetrate the Holocaust.
Pray that everybody's eyes are opened. That's what Suzy wants.
Irony, meet Criminal Code.
Yes. They're very effective. Think about the effectiveness of images of the Holocaust, for example.
Here's one link I found.
From someone inside the movement, I can tell you that the most effective weapon against abortion is ultrasound. 88% of abortion-minded women who see their babies decide not to kill them.
At Planned Parenthood, the ultrasound monitors face away from the mother.
Abortion providers want their clients to enter & hurriedly leave (after they've shelled out their money & had the child terminated)....
...--Knowing there are witnesses to this (before or after the fact) give some of these women pause and give the abortionists attention they don't want.
Anecdotally, many women, through the years, have been moved ..(by pictures either of precious whole babies, or aborted babies).. to turn away and not enter the abortion facility.
They have actually approached the (offentimes) praying person across the street and asked for help.
Most pro-life folks either can directly help these women, or find someone who can.
We all know 'pictures say a thousand words'....
..which is why we are constantly bombarded with visual stimuli from the moment we wake ....
...Some people even today continue to deny the Holocaust....
..but it's hard to deny the pictures.
Germans were made to enter the camps and see the bodies and carnage, because they were in denial & it wasn't stamped on their hearts and minds.
The abortion industry is expert at keeping the images of abortion away from the public view.
But brave souls across America stand lonely vigils across from these 'killing places' holding their signs as testimony to the children being slaughtered.
One thing the Harper should be doing - and we should be pressuring the Tories - is to do way with all laws that restrict feedom of speech and expression. There are too damned many of them in Canada.
