Conscious or not there is some sort of mental categorization which assigns more value to the born than to the pre-born and that is why we are so forgiving and acceptance of incrementalism.

If a person holds this as a primary belief, those images will probably trigger a cognitive dissonance.

The end result being the reinforcement of the belief you are trying kill.
