Like many others, I often wondered about the source of these images. Who took the pictures? Where did the fetuses come from?

I had a chance to find some answers while reporting in late September on the death of James Pouillon, the anti-abortion protester who was shot and killed in Owosso, Mich. [See Saturday's presentation on the subject in The New York Times.] More . . .

The comments these jerks have left on that site are absurd.

And their next argument will be, look at all those overburdened adult children dealing with aging parents. We need to get rid of those old folks now. It just is not fair to burden people with other people.

They’re only “blobs of cells.” So what could be objectionable and repulsive about them? I sense a contradiction.
