Of coarse the pictures are offensive, the abortion issue is so polarized there is nothing one side can do to change the others minds. The effect of the pics is to wake up the sleepers in your base ones that would turn a blind eye to a less graphic (shocking) presentation. As a bonus they serve as an embarassment to the abortionists and put them on the defensive. I have held these signs up in front of an abortion mill in DC with tears in my eyes. Believe me they have impact.

44,000,000 american babies murdered since 1973. How can we not do SOMETHING?

How much violence was actually shown in the shower scene in Psycho? How does the impression created by that scene compare with far more graphic slasher films that have appeared since?

I would suggest that a far more subdued approach could yield more of a favorable reaction and less backlash than the graphic approach these ads take. Another thread may provide some useful ideas. For example, an abortionist mentioned there supposedly offered would-have-been mothers footprints of the fetuses he destroyed. Combining such footprints and "family photos" [which he also offered] with photos of some of the stacks of containers would IMHO be much more effective than pictures of dismembered corpses.

We held them up in Texas. My husband had a woman stop and scream at him,"this is horrible, horrible..." and my husband told her, "yes it is". Of course that wasn't what she was talking about.
