I’m gonna come off sounding completely callous here, but my take on it is that it’s a good thing your nephew was traumatized, and other children should experience the same feelings of shock, disgust etc. That way, they’ll remember that experience, and, God willing, do something to stop abortion when they’re older.
I’m glad to hear that.
Did you see my post #183 and the attached link?
Don’t you consider that to be good news?
***************
On that we agree.
Yup, you sound completely callous.
Five years old is a bit young, especially since he is growing up in a Pro-life household anyway.

Finally, someone who "gets it". One can be pro-life and still understand basic human nature. One can also be pro-life and love the children who are already born as well as those who are still in the womb.
Fantastic news! Truly!
However, did you see that these young ladies made their decisions from displays at Colleges?
I was looking for the amount of Abortions dropping where the trucks are sitting at beaches and amusement parks.

It sounds as though she saw the pictures at the abortion clinic, which is a more appropriate place than where children are likely to be present.
Would you be as supportive if some liberal anti-war group pasted huge photos of dead and injured troops on the side of trucks and drove around school yards proclaiming to kids they shouldn’t go be soldiers?
I sincerely believe that this group is not taking the trucks to beaches and amusement parks.
You could argue that any child might see this on the side of a truck, but they could also see a car accident, or a grandparent wasting away in a hospice, but that's not the point. The point is to save lives, not to protect children from fear. Frankly, children have much to be afraid of, and the sooner they are aware of evil, the better they will be able to deal with it.
Do me a favor. In 10 years, ask the young man how that experience effected him, and let me know. I am prepared to bet that he will tell you that he has come out a better man, with a deeper understanding of the sanctity of life, than if he hadn't seen it.
Re-read the paragraph.
She had already been to PP, was planning an abortion, and changed her mind after seeing the pictures at the display.
A child was saved.
:-)
That's dishonest.
Troops volunteer to protect us, and bravely risk their lives. A 4-8 week old child in the womb has no such choice.
Would I support it? NO. Would I believe that it should be allowed as protected free speech? YES.
Perhaps you should ask MadmanIvan's anti-FReeper WAnkers what they think. After all, "The far "left" end and the far "right" end are actually right next to each other on the circle with the rest of us falling to some distance away from both of them."
I’ve said the same thing here and I stand by it. The people who advocate these vans are no different than the Code Pink types, and they probably drive just as many away from their point of view as the Code Pinkos.
So, you compare the pro-life movement to Code Pink?
Also the straw man of the dead soldier could easily be turned around “Son, those men sacrificed their lives so you can be free.” "Those are men of courage” etc,etc,etc...What do the pro-aborts have "That's not a baby" "That blob of tissue died so you can have "risk free" intercourse" etc,etc,etc...
As a young child, I remember going to an anti-war movie called ‘Heroes’ that had Fonzi in it (’Happy Days’ was very popular then). One scene involved a soldier getting his face blown off. I 1)Thought it was gross 2)Made me appreciate the characters sacrifice 3)Did not have bad dreams 4)Did not turn me into an anti-war/freedom not worth dying for idiot.
A radical activist is a radical activist.
The truth is not a bad name.
I disagree. It is exploitation of the innocent at it’s worst.
Got it. You consider pro-lifers who oppose abortion the same as Code Pink.
