You are so right. They also violated university rules and those rules are there for everyone. I agree with you that this type of action turns people off. Pulling the stunt with strollers or baby carriages turns me off and I am pro-life. Buys the pro-life movement nothing but makes the news which is what some of the grandstanders wanted.

A march with a huge turnout is difficult for anyone to ignore. The media tend to focus on the “showy” aspects of protests — signs, people dressed in costume, etc. — but I think the real impact gets across when the sheer numbers of people can’t be ignored.

It is sad only 26 others showed up. I wish he had given more advanced notice, there probably would have been more.

I'm sorry, but I think that kind of stuff isn't useful at all. It just turns people off, rather than changing hearts and minds.

Every war is won using a variety of tactics.

WWII used everything from leaflets, to rifles, to flamethrowers, to tanks, to atomic bombs. Every facet contributed to our win.

Same is true in this war against abortion. Every tactic makes it’s contribution. These blood covered carriages are perhaps the flamethrower equivalents. Very gruesome, revolting perhaps even to those who are pushing them, and possibly more effective than we can imagine.

Never forget...there are people on the left who infiltrate these protest.
Never put it pass them to pull a stunt such as this. Just saying.

I know it won’t be played out that way, but most know how the socialist of the world work their agendas.

"I'm sorry, but I think that kind of stuff isn't useful at all. It just turns people off, rather than changing hearts and minds. Leave that sort of thing to the Code Pink harpies. "

Sometimes you have to attract attention to an issue to get the attention it deserves...sometimes it's not attractive, but necessary..

Change minds? This abortion thing has been the carrot that these liberal political bastards have dangled in the face of the people for 36 years, all in the name of the freedom. Yeah fake blood is a little childish, what they need to do is the real thing, and use a 7 month old unborn child as the example, let them see what the procedure is really like. A life moving, stirring and suddenly slaughtered right in front of Barack Obama and his ilk.
