I don't think she was wrong to stand up for what she believed in, or for her cause. By her own admission most of the people on campus would say they are pro-life. I think she was in the wrong for her in your face manner with grotesque pictures. If she wanted to have a display that brought the attention to abortion and have the grotesque pictures in a room people can chose to visit, so be it. The school allowed her to do so. What they did not want was obscene pictures visible for everyone that walked by.
I am about as pro-life, anti-baby murder as they come. But, I do get peeved at those that decide I nee to see mutilated babies without the option to avoid it.
War is hell too. But I don't have the urge to display pictures of blown apart bodies, dogs eating mutilated enemy combatants, or cats climbing out of stomach cavities with flesh in their mouth to demonstrate the pain and suffering guys with PTSD go through. Nor, do I have the urge to show shot up and bleeding servicemen with their intestines hanging out to bring attention to the Wounded Warrior Project.
I find homosexuality detrimental to the public health and grotesque, but I don't need to show pictures of two homosexual men committing depraved acts to prove it and gain support for traditional family groups.
Babies pre-birth and throughout gestation....no issues, but I personally don't want to see the remains of an abortion...ie a murdered baby. It isn't going to make me anymore pro-life.....but it will make me think you are crass, indecent, inflammatory and tune me out to anything you have to say if you shove it in my face.
Yes, I get it that some people don't make the connection that they are babies. Show pictures of babies that will endear people, not a murdered mess that will tick people off at the messenger.
Jut my two cents.
But she is more right than wrong. Abortion is done out of our sight and we don’t want to think we are condoning horrific acts. Yes, an birth out of wedlock can ruin people’s lives; yes, it kills a baby. Emotionally we sympathize more then the mother than her unborn child, because we DON”T see HOW she rids herself of that unwanted child.
“I think she was in the wrong for her in your face manner with grotesque pictures.”
That is probably the second-most effective way to end legalized abortion - show it for what it is. The most effective way (according to a demonstrator I know) is to sing “Happy Birthday” outside the abortion mills. Expectant mothers find it hard to kill their babies after hearing a chorus of that...
