"If more people were subjected to these horrific images it probably would be easier to overturn R v W"

Showing that crap to my kids is not going to get R v W overturned. It will, however, give my kids nightmares.

Of course it won't.

But the pictures weren't put there for your kids.

Nightmares are appropriate in this case. After all, there but for the grace of God go themselves. How horrible is it for children to learn that they have escaped the butcher block because their mother chose to continue her pregnancy? Should anyone be praised for choosing otherwise?

That "crap" as you so elegantly put it, is the remains of a child's body and is, by far, the single most effective way to get across to any human being the nature of the act.

Will such efforts overturn Roe vs. Wade? Probably not. But what it does do is force every pro-choice person that sets eyes on the display to consider the indisputable truth.

Every other function of the fight for or against abortion is trumped by those images.

As far as kids go - I don't want very young kids to be forced to see them but I also will not concede the more important right of adults to see the images that they probably would never otherwise see. I do not support the liberal notion of "it's bad for the children" argument. Under that view, almost nothing could be "shown" of the reality of abortion and in this situation the most important people that need to be shown that reality are are kids themselves before their whole world is skewed by the public education system.

Sorry but the kids will survive. They already have once - when their mother chose LIFE.
