Those of us near the People's Republic of Madison (250,000 people surrounded by reality) need some help with this poll. Abortion is the subject of the dispute, but the issue also reveals the liberal's opposition to free political speech. The poll is currently running 77% AGAINST permitting the protest of abortion using pictures of aborted fetuses.

What are abortoinists afraid or ashamed of? Heck, it's how they make a killing (um, no pun intended). Certainly seems this guy is only giving them free advertising.

I think the use of photos of aborted fetuses is offensive and probably counter-productive. Nobody wants to see them, and most wish the people who put them up would go away forever.

To the Left, the First Amendment only protects THEIR speech. As is the case for all Liberals (and other Fascists), they don't have to obey the rules when they don't want to ...

I guess free speech is only for liberals, huh?

Ovadal and other church members were cited earlier last year for placing literature on parked cars in Monroe that was critical of Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and for displaying signs in a grassy area along side Highway 69 in Monroe.

And of course those same council members will also ban election signs and phamplets in the same places. Yea, Right.

New born babies are much more attractive than aborted fetuses. Pity there aren't more of them.

Ovadal and his followers had taken their large signs to the city's business square where Planned Parenthood has an office.

Does anyone have any pics so we can see just how big the signs are that they are talking about?

This is what were up against,click on link for more quotes:

Part One: Informed Consent Why do we need laws about informed consent? Don't abortion clinics give accurate information to the women seeking abortion?

"It is when I am holding a plastic uterus in one hand, a suction tube in the other, moving them together in imitation of the scrubbing to come, that woman ask the most secret question. I am speaking in a matter-of-fact voice about 'the tissue' and 'the contents' when the woman suddenly catches my eye and says 'How big is the baby now?' These words suggest a quiet need for definition of the boundaries being drawn. It isn't so odd, after all, that she feels relief when I describe the growing buds bulbous shape, its miniature nature. Again, I gauge, and sometimes lie a little, weaseling around its infantile features until its clinging power slackens."

abortion worker Sallie Tisdale "We Do Abortions Here" Oct 1987 Harpers Magazine p 68

"In my facilities, I always gave option counseling. Of course you make the abortion the most appealing. I told them about adoption and about foster care and about [when there was welfare] assistance. The typical way it would go is, "Well, you know you can place your baby out for adoption." But then, in the second breath you would say, "That's an option available to you, but you also have to realize that there's going to be a baby of yours out here somewhere in the world you will never see again. At least with abortion you know what's happening. You can go on with your life...The longer I was in it, the less I cared, so I really didn't really care what my conscience said. My conscience was totally numb anyway. But what it did do was public relations-wise. You were able, when a reporter or TV crew came, to pull out a packet of information for the patients to read and they received it. So what can anybody say? Publicly it looked good -- in reality it was another tool that was used to force a woman into abortion. It's typical -- I would give them an option and then shoot it down. The only option you didn't shoot down, obviously, was abortion."

Former clinic owner Eric Harrah quoted by Dr. Jack Willke and Brad Mattes

Meanwhile your tax dollars support crap covered paintings, crosses in urine and a whole Host of other disgusting things..

But you had better NEVER print what we do to unborn children.. That's beyond the pale and cannot be tolerated.

The damage we do must remain secret, lest people become aware of the devistation.

Voted.

On a side note, is Ovedale the same guy freaking out about nudity on beaches?

The power of a photo of an aborted fetus is awesome. Nothing gets people more riled up, whether they are for abortion or not. People who are in favor of every sort of violence and filth being readily accessible to the masses break their own rules when it comes to the sight of disembodied healthy babies -- something that, in most cases, they don't have a problem with as long as they don't have to see the truth.

...And that's what those pictures are -- the truth.

Think about it.

Keep freeping it.

They really want to have their cake and eat it too, don't they. Have abortions, but not permits anti-abortion photos to be used in advertisements.
