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.

“...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.

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.
