Indeed, which is why pro-lifers need to stop thinking they can win primarily with a war of words and use images instead (images of aborted babies).

I disagree. Different people can be reached in different ways. And, although I'm not opposed to public display of aborted fetuses, I don't think young children should be exposed to them.

Well, I'm not for pro-lifers showing up at nursery, daycare, or early elementary schools to show what's happening, either. But name one where pro-lifers have targeted any of those.

Since you qualified "children" by saying "young" I will agree with you they should not be specifically targeted. I figure anyone old enough to have an abortion minus parental permission--which is most middle-school kids in this country--is old enough to see graphic images of aborted babies and be specifically targeted.

Now if you are absolutely opposed to any young child seeing these images at any time for any reason, then your above statement is just a p.r. piece. The reason being that any young child could show up at any given public display. Therefore, your bottom line worldview is that these displays really shouldn't happen at all due to this high risk.

And if this is the case, then your statement, "I'm not opposed to public display of aborted fetuses" is just rhetoric being tossed about. If you are absolutely opposed to any young child seeing these images, then you really are opposed to public display of aborted fetuses. And if this is the case, you've just engaged in a politician's favorite game of double talk.
