No better way to trivialize an issue than to make it into slogans printed on children’s clothes and bumper-stickers. Those are the only ways the weak-minded can express themselves. By donning the thoughts and wit of others.

I'm sorry, have you lost your bloody mind? Putting something succinctly (like 47,000,000 babies killed 1973-2008) in public is trivializing it? Really? You think someone reads those words and thinks it's a trivial issue? And if so, please share what grand, eloquent address a sixth grader will give to his fellows that will turn the abortion issue around.

“And if so, please share what grand, eloquent address a sixth grader will give to his fellows that will turn the abortion issue around.”

How about the kid just show up, listen and learn and leave the abortion issue to those who have at least experienced puberty. Maybe the parents should stop using their child as a socio-political mouth-piece.

“You think someone reads those words and thinks it’s a trivial issue?”

That’s not what I said but nice try. Stunts like what this kid’s parents pulled do more harm than good for the pro-life side. Intelligent people do not form lasting socio-political opinions based on t-shirt slogans.

This was about the kid and parents. In 4th grade wearing the same shirt every day, turned inside-out. How many people is that going to reach? None. Likely it will have the opposite effect on the other kids.
