Pro-Choice folks, what are your reasons for supporting abortion?

[carjack]

Let me get this straight – you are so ruled by you emotions, you claim the right of censorship? You can over-rule the authorities who issued the permit for the demonstration?

And you consider yourself fit to care for a child?

The pictures are in poor taste.I will do what i need to do to protect a child in my care from seeing that vile photography. You want your children psychological abused, that is your business. Someone wants to force it on mine, I will press charges to the fullest extent of the law.

My parents took me to Dachau when I was in the 4th grade. I was haunted for weeks by the mounds of human hair, the pile of eyeglasses that was larger than our house, the life-size photos of the bodies to be burned. My parents did not brush the nightmares aside, they used them as tools to teach me about the evils that exist in the world, the importance of learning history, the importance of being an informed citizen so that something like that never happened again, and most important, the importance of respecting life. I remember my mother saying that every person that died at Dachau at one time had a mother, a father. They had a family history, happiness, laughter, imagination…most important, a life —these things were stripped away and destroyed by another human being. Seeing the horrors of Dachau --graphic photos and all—was probably the BEST pro-life teaching tool my parents ever used.

How anyone could not value a life from conception to death is beyond me.

How anyone could honestly say that it’s another person’s choice to kill an innocent child and that they should not be involved or say it’s wrong will forever be more horrifying than any image Dachau ever left in my mind.

We are nothing more than Hitler’s SS officers if we say that it’s another person’s choice to decide whether a child who has been conceived should be born into this world or not. We might not murder the child ourselves, but we did nothing to stop it’s death.

Have you thought of taking a couple of deep breaths before posting?

Thank you for sharing that awesome testimony to LIFE. May we all understand. Praise God!!

I pointed out that when I was about 3 1/2, my mother took my brother (who was only an infant then) to the movies. Right before the Mickey Mouse cartoon, Movietone News showed the Concetration Camps – including shots into the open crematoria doors, with skulls and bone fragments. They showed bodies being bulldozed into mass graves, people like walking skeletons.

It did me a world of good – I have never had the slightest attraction to charismatic dictators since then.

Same here, also I remember the photos of people being hanged, seems to me that only made me realize that it isn’t right to do that to anyone, no matter what. Burning crosses on the nightly news also taught me that some people believe they have a right to inflict their hatred unto others, my parents always told me not to worry that that would never happen to us, and it never did, but they didn’t try to sheild me from watching it on the t.v. They just talked to me about it and explained how very wrong and sick it was for some people to do that to others.

Car Jack:

What you are saying is who cares about children who have to see graphic pictures? Who cares about their mental health? You have odd priorities. We can send a message that abortion is wrong without having to resort to graphic imagery. My priorities are fine, thank you. Graphic imagery is extreme and children shouldn’t be forced to look at it.

Who is forcing kids to look at graphic pictures? Have you ever tried to send the message that abortion is wrong without using the pictures. This thread contains more than a thousand posts. Do you think marietta has gotten the idea that abortion is wrong. Not in a million years.

 

[whatevergirl]

I wonder though, truly, how many women change their minds from having abortions, driving down a busy street…watching people walking along with signs posting pics of aborted babies. Just seems somewhat impersonal, and I’m not sure if it’s hitting home for most.

 

[allhers]

I have a question for everyone who is of the opinion that a child (let’s say under the age of 8) should never see the pictures.

Are you more or less outraged by the possibility of a child seeing the pictures then you are about the fact the children die everyday by this method?

Do you think if there is any chance that children might see the pictures then they shouldn’t be used?

I am more outraged by the fact that children die everyday by this method!!!

 

[MIZER]

carjack must be pro-abort. Never an answer to a question just one pro-abort argument after another. About the pictures, “me thinks he protests too much”. Pro-aborts don’t want anyone to see the pictures as they know how powerful they are. This matter of kids seeing the pictures causing all this outrage is another smoke screen. Any reasonable parent can deal with this.

Carjack,

Where is your outrage over what is depicted in the pictures? Opps, I get ahead of myself. I know you won’t (can’t) answer this. My bad.

 

[mapleoak]

Don’t try to blame parents for the inconsideration and lack of common sense when showing bloodied and murdered bodies in public. Like I said I will call the police for harassment.

Not to worry. Such protests are constitutionally protected.

What you are saying is who cares about children who have to see graphic pictures? Who cares about their mental health? You have odd priorities. We can send a message that abortion is wrong without having to resort to graphic imagery.

Since they have saved lives, they are a worthy weapon and need to be used. Your odd priortities don’t come before the unborns lives that have been saved.

My priorities are fine, thank you. Graphic imagery is extreme and children shouldn’t be forced to look at it.

You can keep your children sheltered and that is your choice.

 

[mapleoak]

The pictures are in poor taste.I will do what i need to do to protect a child in my care from seeing that vile photography.

What of the unborn that have been saved because mothers were convinced of the horror of abortion after seeing those photos? Should they have been killed so that a hypothetical child will not be harmed psychologically?

You want your children psychological abused, that is your business.

My children could view abortion photos just fine. What are you doing wrong?

I wonder though, truly, how many women change their minds from having abortions, driving down a busy street…watching people walking along with signs posting pics of aborted babies. Just seems somewhat impersonal, and I’m not sure if it’s hitting home for most.

But how many babies would you say need to be spared their lives before it is okay? One, two, two hundred, two million?
Fact is, there are countless testimonies available from women who have had a change of heart after seeing such pictures.

 

[mapleoak]

The problem is people who decide to be vulgar and have NO consideration when trying to convey a message.

What you have said here is certainly true. People who openly use vulgarity have no consideration. Your definition of vulgarity however is very much flawed.

I am pro-life, just because I don’t agree with the graphic pics doesn’t mean that I am for abortion. does that answer your question? If it doesn’t sorry you are not using your brain. I am not agreeing with the amount of protest, just the use of pics.

 

[mapleoak]

The child gets upset because when they see a bloodied baby, they know enough to be concerned. Exposing Children to graphic images is abuse and anyone who condones this action is condoning child abuse.

When you say things such as this, you give those folks who are there to protect children from child abuse a bad name. You are misguided in what constitues child abuse and it is advisable if you want to educate yourself in what actually is child abuse, that you talk to a qualified person in the field.

it is abuse to subject children to voilent pics as an aborted baby. The people who use this method are giving us prolifers a bad name.

I am not seeking an argument…It is very encouraging actually to see that this has been helping considerably. I would say even if one baby is saved…it is worth it…but, I see more personal methods making a larger impact.

 

[mapleoak]

Suppose we fight and do everything we can to see to it that most kids get to live and give them phycological help if they need it.

Exactly. If children aren’t being born, what will the point be in protecting them from psychological trauma. We have to see to it that all children get a chance to be born.
