The pictures need to make people uncomfortable. It is good it does so as it convicts their conscience. Pictures have described many horrors of man in more modern history. Photo's described and documented the horrors of Hitler's attempted elimination of the Jewish people. Pictures showed the wrongs done to innocent men hanging from tree's for the high crime of having the wrong skin color or making someone mad just for having the wrong skin color.

Why some persons say pictures and graphics should not be used to tell the truth of such crimes against the innocents is beyond my understanding. This nation can no longer afford to allow Liberals to determine our national morality standards.

"We pushed baby carriages with dolls covered with stage blood" --Randall Terry

This is from an article of May 4. This whole thing has been going on for a while.

Excellent, excellent. Bravo!!! I got the chills watching. Ads like this are the kind of smart, effective tactics pro-lifers must use to win over minds and hearts and to ultimately end abortion in this country.

We cannot return to the failed tactics of the past. They will only bring more failure to the pro-life cause.

Thank you for finding and posting it, Winstons Julia!! Well done!

See the photo above, and also Terry said “we.” That makes both of them. By the way, what makes you think Terry and Keyes would lead their pro-life supporters in pushing the carriages but not push one themselves? Do you see them as chickens?

I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I’ll say Terry has been quite harmful to the cause.

He has been an inspiration to me, and to many others. The courageous give the rest of us room to follow.

I agree with your comment regarding numbers and I agree with your comments at #6.

A few protestors using over the top tactics, makes the pro-life movement appear to be made up and supported by only people on the fringe, when in fact the pro-life position is a mainstream conservative position.

There was enough time to gather several hundred people together, even if they had to protest off-campus. Why not do it that way? Furthermore, going through the proper channels, several hundred people probably could have protested ON campus.

Having said the above it is ridiculous that any group should have to go through such red tape to protest on campus. Students should do something about that.

That’s right. And this historic confrontation between good and evil has only just begun.

Here is a great thread about a Cardinal who essentially calls Zero a liar, openly compared abortion to slavery and suggests that it might take a war to end it.

Catholic Cardinal Meets With Obama: Says President Claims He's Not Pro-Abortion

I think it will take a few more of these "acts" to get our country back. It may even take more than that.

UPDATED: Vatican Official Criticizes ND Honor as ‘Greatest Scandal’

Cardinal Newman Society

Archbishop Raymond Burke, Prefect of the Vatican’s highest court, the Apostolic Signatura, called on Catholics to “give an uncompromising witness” to the dignity of life and sharply criticized the University of Notre Dame for its planned honor for pro-abortion [Alleged] President Barack Obama during an address this morning to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC.

“The faithful in the Church and especially Catholics in America are blessed to have a shepherd such as Archbishop Burke reminding us of our responsibilities as disciples of Christ to always and everywhere proclaim the Truth,” said Patrick J. Reilly, president of The Cardinal Newman Society.

The archbishop began his address by noting that he has “the deepest concern for our nation,” and later implored Catholics to be aware of the “godless secularism and relativism” that underlie the Culture of Death. He noted that “we would be right to be discouraged if this were just up to us,” and talked about the importance of Eucharistic Adoration and praying the Rosary.

Commenting on the ongoing scandal of Notre Dame’s planned honor for [Alleged] President Obama, Archbishop Burke received a standing ovation from the crowd of more than 1,200 when he called it “rightly the source of the greatest scandal.”

He also said that “in a culture marked by widespread and ingrained confusion about the most fundamental teachings of the moral law, our Catholic schools and universities must be beacons of truth and right conduct.”

Archbishop Burke added that if “we as individuals are not willing to accept the burdens” of the Catholic witness to life, “we are not worthy of the name Catholic.”

Tom Hoopes, editor of the National Catholic Register interviewed Archbishop Burke about Notre Dame last night and when asked what the Church should do about Notre Dame the archbishop responded:

“What it should do is have Notre Dame come clean. Is it Catholic or isn’t it? A Catholic institution, a Catholic university, cannot give honors to someone who is a promoter of things that are opposed to the most fundamental beliefs of Catholics, and so that’s what needs to happen.”

When asked by Hoopes how the Church could do this, Archbishop Burke said:

“There’s an apostolic constitution, Ex corde Ecclesiae, which sets forth the requirements for a university to have the name Catholic. I think that Notre Dame has to either follow those norms or say ‘We’re not a Catholic university anymore.’”

At least Alan did it now. On May 17th it may have been the wrong thing to do, but I still say can’t a million people show up to offer an alternative.

The “official” Notre Dame Response group doesn’t want “graphic pictures” but it makes me wonder if the liberals haven’t infiltrated and taken that over.

What would happen if hundreds of thousands of prolifers showed up and peacefully demonstrated? The media would largely ignore it, and report that a few hundred people showed up.

Here’s the evidence (great video, trust me):

I know for sure that we have two buses going there on May 17th, including three Priests.

This is just the beginning.

From “Savvy” at AIPNEWS.com:

It’s a little after 8:00 PM in South Bend, IN.

Alan Keyes has still not been released from jail. Asked
when it was expected he would be released, the officer
at St. Joseph County Jail replied, “It’s whenever he can
post a bond.”

I wonder how long he’ll stay in jail.
