I don’t think that’s what she said. Read again.

No, they weren’t on TV or in movies.

You don’t know what the child is really taught. Don’t make such foolish assumptions.

It is not your place to show things to your brother at five years old. It is your parent’s place.

I don't recall I said he was five. Actually, he was more than twice that. We would be at school, and I would try to be a good big brother three years older and protect him from swear words, dirty jokes, etc. I don't know about what you would think about that but Mom thought it was ok for me to try to be a good big brother.

Mom wasn't with us during those times.

I’m pretty surprised by you Judith Anne.
Normally, you’re a pretty rational person.

Maybe it’s just been too long since you had babies in your house. That Grandmother role hardens you to the emotional problems that mom’s have to deal with.

It’s easy to give kids nightmares for a cause when you can send them home with mommy. What the heck, they’ll get over it.

Obvious not much since the kid has nightmares about an act considered legal in the US.

Maybe having the need to overprotect their children is a female/Dr. Benjamin Spock kind of thing. My child ask a question or inquires about "the bad stuff" in the world the answer more than likely will be the hard truth. Guess what, no nightmares and yes my 5 year old has seen post abortion pictures.

He is more scared of the Goofy roller coaster than pictures that are explained fully, (Yes 5 year olds can digest information that seems too much for the overprotected crowd) and has a general comprehension on the nature of man/ why Jesus died for us.

Since many people think this is too traumatizing should I be able to sue the Catholic Church (Which introduced me to post abortion pictures at an early age) for missing my childhood?

Don’t give me any more of your supercilious bs. I’m surprised at you—that you would take this article and decide that the entire discussion would revolve around your nephew and his so-called trauma.

You have attempted to bully and insult everyone here who has disagreed with you, and you continue to attempt that with me.

I told you, I’m done with you. Hope your nephew isn’t scarred for life. /sarc

Actually, you are the one trying to draw comparisons between apples and oranges. You have mentioned a few times now that the pro-aborts are brainwashing kids. To validate the use of the debated images, in a manner which does not shield kids (let's say kids under ten), the pro-aborts would need to be using debatable images of their own, images also accessable to kids under ten. That's apples and apples. I can only imagine what photos the pro-aborts would use--probably some decades-old pic of a woman who bled to death from a botched abortion. Certainly something that would prop up one of the hundreds of myths about why abortion is a good and necessary thing. That would certainly be brainwashing, and it would be apples and apples...but it's not being done.

In fact, most of the brainwashing to which you allude doesn't take place in every community. I live in Lansing, Michigan--the very city in which netmil's SIL and nephew had their experience with one of the vans. And yes--I am one of those dreadful parents who sends her kids off to public schools. Not once--not even one time!--in the years that my kids have been going to school have they been exposed to any form of literature from a pro-abort group. Nothing, zip, zilch, nada. PP et al are not allowed to leave any such material at the elementary schools, nor are they allowed to speak as a group at any of the elem schools in our district. As crappy as our school district is, the administration went so far as to remove PP from a parental resource list--they appeared, name, address and phone number, along with lists of museums and libraries, food banks and free dental clinics, etc. Enough of us complained that if PP was on the list, the district better include the contact info for the local crisis pregnancy centers as well. The district agreed with no fanfare whatsoever.

So what am I missing here? How is it that my kids are being brainwashed by the pro-aborts, to such a degree (to ANY degree) which would validate one of the vans being used in my community?

I think it’s one of those, “When I’m insulted, anything is fair game.”

I think small children should be shielded from these graphics. Older ones should not.

Hmm, perhaps the smallest children among us should be asking, "Mommy, why didn't that happen to me?" Conservative parents will have good answers, liberal parents will have lousy ones. Maybe the kids of the liberal parents need to learn to distrust them way before their teenage years.

That was my impression as well. There are times it is better to write a post and then hit the "go back" button. Anger can be a person's worst friend.

I like your point about the libs.
But when it comes to Conservative parents, the kids shouldn’t have to ask.

My girls knew that we had an option to kill them before they were born, at a very young age. They understand the words “kill” and “dead”. They know we love them and those who kill babies inside mommies, are selfish and killers.

We taught them this with a picture of Our Lord holding a fetus. It worked.

They won't, they will have been educated about the ignorance that surrounds them. They will be little witnesses to the fact that all innocent life is precious. Their classmates will learn great things from them.

Exactly. Pro-life parents need to get on the ball to explaining all of this to their children from a VERY early age. Age appropriately.

We can all start early with a Life Chain event. Kids love them and other kids are there too! The best example to my kids are other families involved.

But it’s the Parent’s responsibility. Get on the parents, not the kids.

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.

Government schools routinely show a movie called "PROM NIGHT" and they show bloody gory video of teens after a alcohol related accident....it is MEANT TO BE TRAUMATIC! I suppose the photos of an aborted fetus may be traumatic which means these activists are using the same strategy employed by people trying to save lives by educating kids about alcohol. The only problem I have with these trucks is that it might reach children under 14-16+, the targeted age group.

I would lower the age. 12 year olds are having sex, getting pregnant and having abortions.
