to get angry over someone showing children the images is understandable… i’d b angry if someone showed my child those pictures…
how can u compare the truth of abortion to pornography??
see post 41…
thanks… the thing is Nazi Germany never ended… more people have been killed in abortion than in Nazi Germany & Stalinist russian combined… probably more than that number combined w/ deaths in WWI & II…
Yet they try to use pro-life peoples’ admittedly praiseworhty trait of not wanting to offend… to stop them…Yep.
Some of us have no trouble feeling for babies, or working up the motivation to do pro-life work, without looking at gruesome photos of them dismembered. And I find in my pro-life work that the photos of healthy children are far more effective motivators for others, too.
Fortunately, I prefer the guidance of the Apostles to this.
*** – St Mt 25:31There is a pro-life organization in my city that for some reason thinks it’s a good idea to drive a big truck around with these images on it, and for some reason they consider it a good idea to send this truck around to children’s events, where little children (age 3, 4, 5) will certainly see them.
10-12 weeks is still the first trimester, is it not? Most of the images I’ve seen are of infants at 10 weeks of gestation. They already look like little people, by then.
People who support abortion are still people; like many pro-lifers, some do put their emotions above truth, but some don’t. Many don’t even engage in “sexual perversions” and many don’t live for “this world alone”, they simply don’t realize that there is a better way. People who view them en mass, and not as individuals, are the reason so many abotion supports are repulsed by the pro-life movement and repulsed by the Truth behind the movement. Truth can be presented badly, just as evil can be sold as a good. We ought to be trying as best we can to speak the truth in love, not smear it in the faces of those who disagree with us.see post 41…
pro-aborts put their emotions above truth… their emotions & the fact that they like the idea that if their sexual perversion results in an “inconvenience” they can get rid of it…
they live for this world alone… but hey… Know what??
we all have to die some day… maybe they need to think about that … but then again, they are not so much into thinking as emoting…
I think your Bible has been tampered with…
Umm, it offends pro-life people, not just pro-choice people. Some people feel it is disrespectful to the child. Some people just don’t want to see that.** those people who claim to be offended by the images are just trying to stop the pro-life people, who … most of whom care about such things as offendign people…** Ironically, the pro-death people do not give a rip about offendiing people… nothing more offensive than murdering a defenseless innocent chld…
It’s not your place to make this judgment. Jesus’ time with tax collectors and prostitutes should make you realize that not everything is as cut and dry as it seems.
The term pornographic does not always mean sexual films or pictures. It can mean anything extremely graphic, food, violence, art, gore, etc, etc.
Unlike prostitutes and tax collectors, nobody has ever been kidnapped and forced into the life of an abortionist - it’s a field that they choose to go into, as opposed to family medicine, etc.
We don’t hold up graphic poster images of murdered 9 year old, 10 year old, and 11 year old children to “prevent more death and abuse” of children…So why is it acceptable to do that in the case of a child at 9 weeks, 10 weeks or 11 weeks gestation? It doesn’t respect the “human” dignity of the victim and that too, is offensive.
I find it very effective to show the healthy child at various stages of development, to relate it to the audience by saying, “This is what you looked like when you were only a few days old in the womb”) and to explain to them that they had a soul, and that God had a purpose for their lives, at the very moment of conception.
