I might get together a group of people to buy an old box truck, get some artwork made, fill it with pro-life literature and park it across from an abortuary.

These trucks are a good idea!

I am against abortion.
I am horrified by it altogether.
I teach my children the horrors of it.

But that’s the thing, I teach them. I find these trucks to be offensive when they go where children can see them. My nephew was horribly traumatized by one of these at the beach. It wasn’t fair.

They give Pro-Life people a bad name.

Flame away.

Good for the Reproductive Choice Campaign!

[jacknhoo]

Its easy to deny the unseen and unheard their rights and kill them. How dare they put a picture of a human baby with the term of fetus, blastocyst, women’s right, reproductive right, etc. People are much more comfortable deceiving themselves into believing its simply part of a woman’s body or that they’re saving a child from being unwanted than they are killing a defenseless little boy or girl.

[wagglebee]

I agree that these images are offensive, but they should be offensive, 3500 abortions a day is far more offensive to me. And yes, they can be particularly traumatic to children, but not nearly as traumatic as the infanticide endured by 50 million babies since 1973.

["If there is nothing wrong with abortion, the images shouldn't bother them"]

Checkmate!

I applaud their idea and actions.

[Truthsearcher]

Not as traumatized as the victim.

Until the society face up to the evils of abortion, it will never stop, and how can society face up to the evil if we can’t show why it is evil?

The pictures are gruesome because the act is gruesome. I’m sorry but I’m glad your nephew was traumatized, the problem right now is precisely not enough people are traumatized. A million dead babies every year SHOULD traumatize us all. It should make us all scream in abject horror.

[jacknhoo]

It is a tragedy that it must come to this for people to see that it is a defenseless human being that is killed by abortion.

I wonder though, what kind of name do these trucks give Pro-Choice people?

My nephew was horribly traumatized by one of these at the beach.

Your nephew was traumatized because the predominant message he gets from his school, his friends, and the media is that this "fetus" thing is not a human being. He should have seen those images within the framework of his moral training by his family.

May his trauma develop into activism within his age group to educate his peers that it's a child, not a choice.

[Monterrosa-24]

“...And yes, they can be particularly traumatic to children, but not nearly as traumatic as the infanticide...”

So you are saying it is the equivalent to collateral damage in war. You’re probably right. But from a purely war-of-words strategy I’m not completely convinced that graphic bloody photos are the way to go. I think the high quality photos or videos of the babies in early development and looking/acting like wonderful human babies are perhaps our most potent weapon.

The testimonials of women who regret the decision to abort and are haunted by callous “doctors” performing the abortion and saying things like “he is trying to get away” are supremely powerful.

The Drudge and elsewhere run photo of the tiny arm projecting from the tummy was a memorable image.

>>I’m sorry but I’m glad your nephew was traumatized<<

You can’t be both.

FReepers champion “parental rights” when it comes to many things.

This should be another.
You don’t have the right to scare or sicken children so that you can show these horrors to the adults that need to see them.

Stay away from the beaches and amusement parks. Show some class.

[netmilsmom]

>>The Drudge and elsewhere run photo of the tiny arm projecting from the tummy was a memorable image<<

That would work for me.

[Truthsearcher]

It’s not collateral damage, the truth hurts sometimes. but it must be faced.

You cannot demonstrate the evils of murder just by showing the beauty of life, you also have to show the horrors of ending that life through violence.

[T.Smith]

You’re not alone in this opinion. I agree with you completely.
