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.
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.
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend.
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
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?

Nice.
You send your kids to PUBLIC SCHOOL!!!!
Oh the horror!
Bet you let them play on I-96 at night too....;-}.
I think it’s one of those, “When I’m insulted, anything is fair game.”
>>Guess what, no nightmares and yes my 5 year old has seen post abortion pictures.<<
Did you show them to your five year old?
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.
>>Hmm, perhaps the smallest children among us should be asking, “Mommy, why didn’t that happen to me?”<<
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.
>>They won’t, they will have been educated about the ignorance that surrounds 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.
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.
