I guess folks at the NGA need to remove some of the paintings from their collection.

Saint Anne with the Virgin and the Christ Child, c. 1511/1515 oil on panel

In this altarpiece panel, the Virgin and her mother, Saint Anne, flank the infant Jesus. Images with Saint Anne became common in the fifteenth century as her popularity grew, and this arrangement is one of the two principal ways in which she was shown. The figure of God the Father appears in a gold ground above the baby’s head, and the dove of the holy spirit hovers between them.

There are more examples of religious art, too.

They need to be sued.

Could these guards possibly be 0bama voters of the affirmative action persuasion and pulling down minimum $100,000 per year w solid golf bennies and pensions? And do these guards possibly have children who are in training to be future federal commissars in charge of your medical services and health plan?

Plaudits to Meghan Duke for wrinting about her experience, and, we, as pro-lifers, need to keep pounding away at injustices thrown our way. As far as espousing pro-life beliefs, my husband and I, from time to time, wear our "CHOOSE LIFE" t-shirts (example shirts shown in photo) just like we would any other t-shirt. He wears his when he goes on his jogs, I wear mine when I "rosary-walk." We also wear them to the grocery store, church, *post office*, even Starbucks! By wearing the shirts, we are displaying our "choice" regarding life, just as we show the sports teams we "choose" on our backs as well. The wearing of lapel pins that some have commented on via this thread is great! Because it is with "insistence" that we will win this battle, or so says TFP through a cool banner at the March for Life, Washington, this year.

To see how demonic the pro-abort cause is, you can take a look at (however, I warn you it's odd/offensive) this poster and, I'm assuming, its creator that was displayed (as a counter-protest) at the recent March for Life in San Francisco. The words on the poster, read "My C*nt, My Choice," and the poster image follows suit with similar abrasiveness. It is a telling depiction of who it is *exactly* that inspires the pro-abort side, through deception, deceit, confusion, and lies.

Everybody reading here needs to wear pro-life pins into every public building in Washington.

The Precious Feet pin, one could argue, is not a political or religious statement of any kind, but rather a work of art unto itself.

To the Left, the pin IS a religious & political statement. And it's a vile one to them. They recoil at the site of it! Like vampires to a cross! That's why the woman was booted out of the National Gallery of Art. A museum! - she got booted out of a museum for wearing a pin! Not a swastika, not a symbol of anything vile - but two tiny feet symbolizing Life. The horror!
