they would at least have a chance to be reached in the future. Shock methods close minds for a long time.

“Postal officials said it doesn’t fit their standards of obscene or lewd, but they said people can fill out a form that would prevent them from getting mail from Wisconsin Right to Life in the future.”

I have a hard time seeing this as a “shock method.” Showing photographs of aborted babies is a shock method, and I have extremely mixed feelings about those who use them as pro-life propaganda. But these are no more offensive than those little pins with baby feet on them.

Methinks Mystical doth protest too much.

Showing someone what a 12 week old fetus looks like is no more a shock tactic than telling someone they are about to abort something that has a heartbeat and fingernails.

If this is a shock tactic, one wonders what you could ever say or show that wouldn't be a shock tactic. No sale.

How old are you—12? Baby, you don’t know from shock!
