I agree with you, SMD. I had an encounter with some pickets, of a verbally unpleasant nature, when I stopped to talk about ADOPTION. They would not let me speak…and just considered me their enemy.
One woman decided to speak to me privately as we walked down the street… 
So instead of feeloing anger and disgust at those who killed those babies, you direct your anger at those who brought the grisly crimes to your attention?
On the one hand, people need to see what the results of abortion really are and be shocked past their apathy.
As I have pointed out, when I was about 3 1/2, I saw grisly detailed footage of the Concentration Camps in the Movietone News that accompanied every movie. It did me a world of good – it was like being vaccinated against dictatorships.
I do not have children yet, but I would imagine that talking to your kids about every disturbing thing they see is easier said than done. Some people handle things better than others.
No one ever said being a parent was easy. But parents who deal with problems by sweeping them under the rug find it tends to come back to haunt them.
That’s not my experience – and I’ve commanded four companies, two of them in combat.
Who’s “forcing” anything on anyone?
There’s plenty of violence and ugliness in the world without going out of your way to add to it.
It is the people who committed these grisly crimes, killing these innocent children who “added to the violence and ugliness in the world” – not the people who exposed their crimes for the rest of us to see.
That’s why I’m working for 4D ulrasound to be defined as part of Informed Consent – a woman who was not shown a 4D ulrasound before undergoing an anbortion would have the right to sue later.
I think this it is a FANTASTIC idea to make the mother see their baby before making that horrible decision.
You are wrong on this. I’m only against showing those images to children. I have no guilty conscience in regard to abortion. I am only concerned about how children feel. I care DEEPLY about the fact taht babies are being murdered every day.
My brothers and sisters have seen images like this and they are still growing up to be happy well adjusted kids. They just happen to be pro-life than other kids.
With respect, sir, I’m not saying parenting is easy, but to have a sit-down chat with the kids after every disturbing image – some of which they’ll see when you’re not with them – is not only difficult, it’s impossible. I agree with Cazayoux. The side of the highway is not the place for children to see these images.
Sir, I’ve deployed three times in two years and have commanded troops in combat as well. I stand by my example. Some people can not handle graphic violent imagery, even when defending their country. If you want to discuss the effects of this war, though, I’d say let’s move this to the War on Terror board and compare notes.
A guy standing on the side of the road with a massive graphic sign of an aborted child is forcing that picture on the people passing by. What’s the parent supposed to do? Take their hands off the wheel to shield their child’s eyes?
Have the sit down early.
“Graphic violent imagery?” My experience was it isn’t imagery that’s the problem, it’s the reality.
How is that different from a political sign? Or one promoting or opposing anything else? Are your kids being forced when they see other signs?
No. A parent is supposed to discuss these matters with the child. Try it – you may find your children are more receptive than you think.
Nope, not advocating censorship. They have a RIGHT to hold up the pictures, but that doesn’t mean it IS right. I wouldn’t take any measures to stop them, it is their constitutional right – I just don’t agree with it.
