I think I attempted to shield my child from the pictures and distract her as much as I could. I do remmeber cuddling her in close with her head ‘buried’ into my shoulder so I probably gave the impression that I was afraid for her. I can understand that it wasn’t the best reaction but, given no warning, it was the best I could do at the time. The anger never came until later and I certainly didn’t let her know of my anger. They must know it is wrong and be in denial or something. I know your shocking pictures do make a difference but only to those who are contemplating abortions, not to young children who mostly don’t even know how babies come to be. I do try and protect my children from anything that I think will cause them distress until I think they are of an age where they will be able to cope with and learn from it. I check out films and books before giving them to my kids and generally do my best to keep everything at a level with which they can cope. There have been things outwith my control and that’s just life and I guess I deal with them as they come but you should know that I think the pictures my daughter saw did harm her wellbeing at the time. Had we been prepared, they may not have caused harm.
I think too you should be targeting doctors. I had my eldest quite young and the GP was annoyed that I didn’t have an abortion. I knew, without ever being told that abortions were murder and that I would never under any circumstances do that. I told her that in these words then I had a threatened miscarraige and when I rang her, she told me that I should just keep busy and with a bit of luck I’d lose it! Thankfully, God had other plans and she is now 12 years old and a real blessing.

Linnyo,
I am glad you see that the explanation I gave you was a good one. We agree on much more then we disagree. However I can speak from direct knowledge of many children who were not at all traumatized about the photos. In 2004 for 16 weeks I and many other people drove around the CBR trucks all over the country. We stayed with prolife families everywhere we went. Most of whom had very young children. I was never around when any of the children were told about abortion from their parents but instead of being upset when the familes and other people we met would follow us or drive around our trucks in their hometowns the young children as young as 2 or 3 would be waving and smiling to us from the cars. They understood from whatever their parents told them.
