some of them pushing baby carriages with dolls covered in fake blood,Not helpful at all. This reminds me of the Brady Bunch and the Dozen Whacko moms against gun violence and their "shoe" protests, where they left 50,000 pair of baby shoes on the steps of the Capitol to exemplify the "kids" "murdered" by guns... I wonder if any of those firearms ever spent a day in jail for their crimes?
This kind of histrionic symbolism is only going to backfire. I wish they'd not done that.

Sometimes as you know soldier you have to do what you have to in order to bring the issue to the forefront..and yes it's unattractive, and some may find it gruesome, but these folks feel very strongly about the rights of the unborn.
Ppl like you fought for their right to express themselves freely...

Shallow oven pans filled with ketchup covered doll parts would have been a more realistic demonstration.

Political “theater” probably turns off a lot more people than it wins over. It just makes the “actors” feel like they’ve done something profound.

Agreed. Histrionics makes us appear nutty. Even nuttier than code pink. Bloody dolls will not gain us sympathy. It will backfire and gain Obama sympathy.
