Honey reaches more than vinegar.
Too bad most of the Pro-Life organizations are ignorant of that simple fact.

I agree as well. I wouldn’t subject my young children to a photo of a beheading, or a shotgun blast to the face — that is murder as well and happens on a daily basis, too.
You know, the other day my eldest daughter and I were talking about abortion and why it was wrong. Afterwards, my youngest (9-years-old) approached me and asked why doctors weren’t put in jail because they are murdering innocent people! She didn’t need to see a graphic picture of the results to understand why it was wrong.
We have a responsibility to teach the horrors of abortion, but we also have a responsibility to respect and protect the children who are in our world as well... Psychological trauma can affect children in many ways — some not even apparent until they are older. If we truly wish to stop the culture of death we shouldn’t be so irresponsible as to disrespect those children who are alive!
Just my $.02 — and I still think abortion is murder...
Doesn’t light a fire under me... It makes me think of hypocrisy frankly... Respect life, but don’t respect the children that are HERE???
Not everyone thinks exactly like you, not everyone is reached the same way. Some people instinctively know it to be wrong, some people needs to see how terrible it is to recognize this fact.
In the case of a blatantly widespread evil, it’s good if children get shocked about it. Nobody’s complaining about how, for example, the skeleton and ghost motifs of Halloween are shocking children. I guess it’s different when we play for keeps. How many days of abortions would it take to equal the carnage count of a decade of American beheadings and shotgun blasts in faces? Well under a month? “A little child will lead them.”
I'd think it wise for pro-life parents to tell their children the reason that people are showing horrible images of this stuff. I'd bet the children, though horrified at the sight, would then well understand.
>So would YOU be as supportive of a group showing dead and butchered soldiers to end the war? That’s what war is really like.
No, I don’t support it, because I don’t support their objective, and their methodology is irrelevant
But I do support showing the pictures of what happened on 9/11, which the MSM have almost completely censored, because seeing them might “traumatize” (there is that word again) people. Do you think that’s the real reason, or do you think it’s because they are afraid seeing those horrific pictures might get people angry, and motivate them to do something about it?
I remember a woman who commented on the fact that the crucified Jesus was traumatic to children and some people found it offensive!
My husband and I are very pro-life and we have always had a pro-life sticker on our car. Well one day a good friend of ours confided in me she had had an abortion and after telling me she also told my husband that it really bothered her when she saw that pro-life sticker on our car BUT she never would have never asked us to take it off. I have two other friends who have had abortions more than one and they all know how I feel about abortion but they knew my compassion was not just for the baby but for them too. I also met a young girl whose mother had been raped but decided to keep her. As I looked at this lovely girl I was confronted with the fact that so many people believe she should have been murdered through abortion. But evil did not get to claim this young girl.And that is what we are fighting EVIL. And if we the American people cannot stand firm and fight for these defenseless children then we will be doomed by it!
Oh no pictures of dead babies.....don’t show us pictures if dead babies.
The reason you all need to see pictures of dead babies is - there are dead babies! More every day.......being killed every day ........and your concern is the pictures.............geez.........complain to God, why don’t you? “God I had to and my kids had to see these awful pictures of dead babies”, “God these people who show the dead baby pictures are horrible”......”make em stop”!
Yea just like every time the holocaust is presented in the context of “never again”....pictures of happy, healthy and safe Jews and Gypsies are shown.
The truth sets people free and the truth about abortion is ugly and vile. It still needs to be shown not whitewashed with little cutie pictures that don’t offend the sensitive “I can’t handle it” type.
"In those circumstances there's no opportunity for meaningful discussion or debate."
Laura's side doesn't like the images because they show that there is no debate. Her side depends on sophistry, whereas a photograph depicts reality.
Seeing something like your sticker might remind her that deep down, what she did was awful. It jars her out of her comfort zone.
Post-abortive women who come to terms with that do so in tears, and very often become staunch defenders of life. Let's pray that friend becomes one of them.

Don't try to put words in my mouth!
War is a necessary evil, abortion is not.
The “honey” of motherhood images are available every day in American consumer advertising. This particular campaign is meant to educate people to the idea that throwing away unborn children is ugly and terrible wrong.
A statement about the Face the Truth tour:
http://www.prolifenews.tv/index.php/site/C8/
DefendLife.org Face the Truth Tour 2007 To Be Held July 30th - August 3rd
The Washington D.C. area Face the Truth Tour is hosted by DefendLife.org and will be held next week from July the 30th to August the 3rd. Stops will include Charlestown, WV, Naval Observatory, Holocaust Museum, Harford Comm. College and many more. Go to DefendLife.org for the entire schedule and to read more.
A Face the Truth Tour is an event where Pro-Life people show up at heavily trafficed areas, pull out large signs of aborted babies, and proceed to show people driving and walking by what abortion really is. This event is held around the country in different cities.
This year, ProLifeNews.tv will be broadcasting live video and audio from the field so people can see what a Face the Truth Tour really looks like. Go to the ProLifeNews.tv website on Monday for broadcast times and events.
The event is highly controversial, even in the Pro-Life movement. Many people say that the signs shouldn’t be used in public because children might be exposed to them. Pro-Life people who use the signs say that not only have they saved lives after men and women have seen them, but that they are necessary to show people what the truth of abortion looks like.

I don't think that's what he/she meant at all.
I am reminded of another horror with far less victims. On 9/11 murderous slime attacked us and it was covered by the media. Using the same approach, the MSM wanted us to forget what we saw and not to look at the pictures of the crimes perpetrated against us Americans. We were to offer honey instead? We were to forget and not think about it?
I have told the story before of one decent lady who confronted us and we asked what happens when an abortion takes place. She said the pregnancy just sort of goes away. She could not confront the reality that a human being is shredded alive in the process. We are not supposed to consider the images of the people falling from the towers either. We may hurt the feelings of some of the guilty. I remember another time a priest pulled a little baby corpse from the dumpster and held it in his arms. The murderers so outraged at the images like on the truck reacted. One pulled the little body from the Priest's arms and stomped it into the ground. That is one way to rid oneself of those awful images.
Evil is evil. We can confront it or hide from it or stick a flower in a gun barrel and hope our enemies will be nice.
