Perhaps these could be used for pro-life posters during their protests instead of what they currently use. I was deeply offended by what they were showing and I sure as hell didn't like the fact that I had my 5 year old in the car at the time, at a stop light, while they were on the corner.

I'm all for free speech, but I think I deserve the right to decide what and how messages are delivered to my children.

Using photo's like the one shown in the original post, IMHO, would be a much better option to show the left what their decisions are destroying.

I agree 100%. Abortion-rights advocates achieve acceptance by dehumanizing the unborn. Someone who sees a picture of a mangled fetus won't think "Oh, that's a little person"--they'll think "Hurry up and flush it down the sink already". Far better instead to focus on showing the unborn as people.

It's a good idea, why don't you help with the movement and use the ultrasound pics. at the abortion mills in your area.  Let me know how you make out.  Many in this country are brought up and taught that abortion is OK, that there is no life in the womb, that it's just a blob of protoplasm, just an inconvenience, that it's not alive and that one is not considered human until the shoulders are out of the birth canal.  Those pictures prove a point.  Personally, I don't like to use them at the abortion mills, they are better used at high schools and campuses and other public places.

Please tell me what IMHO means. I see it a lot but am ignorant.

I hear what you're saying. The pictures are extremely offensive. I do have to ask myself, "if the picture is offensive, what of the act depicted?" Is the violence of the act itself somehow mitigated if it remains hidden?

A proposed compromise: In places like New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco - the pictures are needed. People in places like that need to be shocked.

In other places, say, Texas, Missouri, Ohio, the pictures are inappropriate because a large number of people there are already aware of the violence of abortion.

Key point: If the mere picture is dispicable, what of the act depicted?
