Yes because children know the difference between dinner and a picture of a bloodied body. The pics are inappropriate for children.

They know because adults tell them.

And adults should explain just what happens in an abortion, and why it is so wrong.

They know because the RECOGNIZE what is dinner and what appears to look like a human bloodied. Children should not be EXPOSED to those pictures at an early age because of psycological trauma. Parents should explain abortion to children at THEIR time, NOT yours.

It is harmless to children. It is the parents reaction to them that is harmful. Good parenting calls for properly instructing ones children, which includes appropriate and inappropriate reactions.
It is that type of attitude that causes people to accuse pro lifer’s of being more concerned about the children before they are born than afterwards.

Nonsense. Accusations of non-concern after birth are nothing more than some of the medley of soundbites used by the pro-abortion industry to make a tangent.
I will NEVER give a thumbs up to anyone who shoves bloody, graphic photos in the face of an innocent child.

It is doubtful anyone shoves such photos in an innocent childs face.
The fact that your cause is just does not give you license to do whatever you want to whoever you want.

No one said it does. But using effective and non-violent means, such as the public display of the realities of abortion to educate the ignorant are certainly justified. And it has saved countless lives. Those lives that have been saved are certainly worth the inconvenience of going a little bit out of ones way to properly instruct their children about such things.

And then deal with the nightmare the child has with the realization that there are killers around them that they may never suspect.

Good one.

Those same kids could walk through the butcher’s section of the local supermarket, and not be fazed by the bloody meat on display. They could watch Grandma chop the head off a chicken for dinner, or watch Daddy field dress a deer.

It’s the adult’s reaction that triggers the child’s problems.

Growing up on the farm, I had quite often helped my folks with the slaughter and butchering of animals. It certainly didn’t harm me any.

Oh I love this…such arrogance!

Who exactly are you to tell me what I should and should not tell my children and when?

What exactly would give someone else the right to decide when a parent should teach their children about a subject.

Inapproriate reactions to abortion are exposing pics to children. You are forcing graphic photos to them. Good parenting is to fight the extremists graphic pics. The pics are a form of harrassment.

Nonsense. Accusations of non-concern after birth are nothing more than some of the medley of soundbites used by the pro-abortion industry to make a tangent.

You are not concerned for after birth if you are shoving graphic pics in front of the children. Parents should have a say as to what their children are exposed to.

It is doubtful anyone shoves such photos in an innocent childs face.

They do escpecially, if traffic is stalled and slow.

That conversations should be done on the parents time, NOT yours.

If anyone ever came up to my car with a pic. I would use my cell and report them for harassment.:mad:

This is not what CBR does and I am not advocating that this is an approprate action for pro-life activists. We do have to be respectful of the dignity of others. I would never take an aborted baby picture and approach someone’s car. I would never approach someone’s car in any case. Not even to ask directions. That would be stupid and I would be putting my own life at risk. Frankly, I can’t imagine any reputable pro-life organization doing or promoting such a thing. I wonder if it’s possible that fitswimmer may have exagerated to make her point. I’m not saying she did exagerate I’m just wondering if it is possible.

Let’s say she is not exagerating and this did happen to her. OK, I would say that the protesters she witnessed were part of a very small contingency in the movement that I would consider the fringe. You know, the one’s who would sooner shoot up the abortion clinic or kill the doctor then stage a peaceful demonstration. CBR is against the violence of abortion and we are against the violence directed at the doctors who kill.

We do not advocate showing the pictures to children but if a child sees the pictures then we expect the child’s parent’s to deal with an issue that is a reality and as Marietta herself has stated, a tradgedy in our time. There is much in the world today that may cause a child to have nightmares. This is no reason to continue to allow abortion to be hidden and thus ignored. It is imperative that we make abortion unavoidable. The only way to do that is to show people what abortion is with pictures because words can never describe so great an evil.

I have repeatedly stated my position on abortion. My position on choice is that it every woman’s right to choose what is right *for *her. I have never even said that choosing abortion is “right”. All I have been defending is the right to choose.

This circling of the wagons is very impressive. Safety in numbers, I guess.

By this reasoning you’d like wise defend my ‘right to choose’ and have anyone die if they become a hindrance on my choice of life? Even if you’re against it? Because it’s the choice that you’re defending?

And let’s push it forward a few years and tell us if you’d be for a woman’s ‘right’ to choose if it were 5 year old children they decided to kill. I’m thinking you’d have an entirely different view there. Or would you agree to such a preposterous proposal?

I’m not insulting you with names or anything but I did need to put that out there as something for you to think about.

Graphic imagery are what horror films use. Do you think that a picture doesn’t say a lot of words. Young children,(developing minds) should not be exposed to that.

It was one thing to protest. Using graphic imagery to convey a message is psycological abuse to a child.

Exposing anyones child to graphic images is not going to make your cause stronger. You can make a point without using vulgar imagery.

You seem quite agitated. Perhaps the problem is that you communicate your agitation to the children.

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

The problem is people who are unable to control their own emotions and who get children upset, instead of educating the children.
