You are directing this comment to Planned Parenthood, right?
...the pictures make those people seem like extremist nuts...
I am personally acquainted with several women who, upon seeing photos like that, decided not to have abortions. Those mothers never regretted their choice to walk away from the clinic doors.
Women who have had abortions, or who support PP, fall into 3 general categories, from what I’ve observed:
Frightened young women who were told in a moment of vulnerability, that i’s not a baby, it’s just a blob of goo—and later realize what they’ve done, and must deal with remorse and grief for the rest of their lives.
The second group consists of women who have had an abortion in the past, and say it was the right decision at that point in their lives. This group remains pro-choice and would not hesitate to advocate abortion for their friends and even their own daughters. These women, unlike the third group below, are not sociopaths. They still have a conscience, it’s just that they’d rather not think about it if they can avoid it. Their collective conscience has been suppressed, asleep for years, but never killed off. The photos you find objectionable are awakening their collective conscience, and that’s a good thing. They realize now they were lied to, and they’d prefer their daughters know the truth: it’s a baby. Handle with care.
The feminazis who vehemently support abortion, who denounce our side as “extremist” and who won’t hesitate to physically assault pro-life protestors in defense of their “right” to butcher defenseless children, are quite simply, sociopaths. These are people without a conscience, who enjoy the suffering of defenseless children—and women. Note their superior attitude toward pregnant women and mothers. Pregnancy is “oppression” of women and perpetuates the “patriarchy”. Pregnancy must be destroyed, to “empower” women. Women who celebrate pregnancy and childbirth are less intelligent and less worthy of respect, in their view. So what if they and their babies are butchered? They deserve it, according to these violent psychopaths.
This last group must be defeated. These photos are helping to do that, at last, and need to be publicized loudly and repeatedly and more, not less. Evil requires secrecy and ignorance (ignore-ance) to succeed—why would PP be scrambling to suppress the videos?
The general public, the taxpayers—not just the pregnant women going in the door of the clinic—are finally seeing the reality of abortion, and they are paying attention.
If those pictures upset you, then they have done their job and those babies didn’t die in vain.
“They should tone down the graphic even if it is factual.”
So sorry you’re so fragile.
You probably believe that banning photos of people jumping from the WTC should be banned. Ditto for Holocost photos. People need to see the horrors of what sin and evil do to a civilization; it’s the only way to get attention so that changes can be made.
For years, abortion opponents have relied on graphic descriptions and imagery to make their case against legal abortion. ..... no different then in a courtroom when attorneys show violent murder scenes to make their point of regarding brutality.
However, if or not these recent videos of planned parenthood's successfully will change hearts and minds on the topic of ‘abortion itself’ remains to be seen..... I fear it will boil down to simply further regulating procedures of how abortions 'are done and the use of fetal tissue. As for the imagery....this is not new and was also used in the fight of Roe-vs Wade.
