A conservative kid's forum for Free Republic is a good idea. I support you in that initiative.

Otherwise, my initial posts with the picture on Sunday -- there were 7 total -- I believe 2 were removed by mods. You and one other person that I know of complained. I received a half dozen other replies thanking me for posting that photo. So, with three times as many people patting me on the back, I felt somewhat emboldened to respond back to you regarding your complaint. Otherwise I probably would have shrunk away, as I did initially when I heard from the moderator about the first complaint.

As I have stated, I feel strongly that the pictures are appropriate and in the context of the response we were getting from the left, and also from folks like Sullivan, it was important to send a strong message in reply. So, I sent the pic one more time on Monday. I feel it is appropriate. Let Sullivan, or anyone, try to quote me with the statement "Murder is evil" beside a picture of that poor little bloodied thing. I dare them to print it. It will never happen, because that picture tells a million words, and it is a message the pro-abortionists do not want the public to see or hear.

Thank you for polite response. I think we may have a better understanding of each other's perspective. As I said earlier, one's intent does not always translate accurately when posting online, and I hope I didn't come across too negatively. Jeff, Guenevere and yourself made excellent points supporting your positions and I cannot say that I disagree with your perspsective or rationale. The photo is an overwhelming "view" and odds were, with the volume of Tiller threads, everytime we clicked on a thread there was another graphic. C'est la vie. May the day come when images such as those are no longer needed.
