I'm sorry to hear that you won't support the legality this kind of "unpleasant" political speech. Many people like you felt the same way about that seditious Declaration of Independence. Many thought that it was too offensive and would ultimately be counter-productive. They were cowards.

These photographs are the most accurate image of abortion available. Those who fear the revelation of the truth usually have something to hide.

I don't think such pictures should be illegal, but I really think they hurt rather than help the cause. I think the same is true, BTW, of some of PETA's "shock" ads. Attempting to make someone uncomfortable is more apt to make them dislike you than anyone else.

In a sense they are the most "accurate" image, but in another sense they miss the essential point. I think it's much better and more effective to focus on the positives of life. Things like the picture of the fetus grasping at the doctor's finger after he performed surgery on it.

Trying to illustrate abortion by showing pictures of blood and gore is like trying to illustrate the Taliban's destruction of Buddhist statuary by showing pictures of the rubble. Far more effective to show what once existed and does no longer.

I never said I didn't support the legality of it. Your characterization of anyone who doesn't support the wisdom of it as a coward is offensive.

But that's in keeping with your whole approach to the issue, isn't it? Win people to your side by being offensive. Charming.
