These posters do have a place (ie; Obama rallies! and I disagree with a letter written by a woman to all our diocesan clergy – concerning how her 7 yr old was traumatized by these photos. She should know what her candidate endorses and accept the fallout)but again these photos should be sent directly to pro=choice politicians and not plastered on street corners where young ones can see them.

That is ONE place for them. However, one of the reasons we’re where we are today is that the pro-life community has focused too much time, energy and financial resources on legislative solutions.

The problem is that those legislators aren’t likely to change their minds until the hearts of a majority of their constituents cry out. Sadly, the rage of the abortion advocacy is crying out louder than the holy outrage of pro-lifers at the ballot box. And to the “Catholic” politicians you suggest we send these pictures to, the ballot box is where the loudest statement is made.

Not until the nation (as in the people) turn away from abortion will any legislative solutions take on any real meaning.

I believe we err in not forcing people to see the true evil of what is going on at industrial levels within our country to so many of our precious, innocent children. Therefore, it will continue to slay the babies at such monstrous levels, sheltered by our “civilized manners.”

Keep praying for our countries leaders! God bless!

Here’s my story: My parents never showed me graphic pictures, but I used to go to their bookshelves as a kid and look through their books. One of the books I saw when I was still in elementary school was called “Handbook on Abortion” and had full color pictures of aborted children (it was a pro-life resource). It was stunning to me, and I was STAUNCHLY pro-life ever since.

I don’t think my parents know to this day that I saw that book.

For His good purposes, God must have needed me to see those photos.

Most children in the USA in middle school are pro-life; most who graduate form college are pro-choice. We are losing the children. I submit that most of them do not understand the reality of what an abortion is.

In order to protect our sensibilities, we have come to call abortion “a woman’s right to choose” and many Americans of good will support such a poorly described “right.” Tragically, many Catholics in the USA are among them.

Most of these people do not truly know what they are actually talking about in reality when they refer to this issue. In the media, it is referred to as a private, sensitive, almost intimate, medical procedure. In reality, it is brutal murder of a completely innocent and vulnerable human being. In the vast majority of the pulpits in our Catholic Churches, it is never, ever mentioned. Every single year since Roe, this happens legally to over one million human beings in the USA alone. There have been some small declines recetnly, but considering the huge number of abortions that still occur, any objective conslusion must be that the pro-life efforts to date have not been effective.

So the question is, how can we more effectively wake up the majority of our fellow citizens to what is actually going on so we can change this national horror?

I submit that if even those in the pro-life movement consider showing people what abortion actually IS to be off limits, then we had better get used to having a third of our babies killed in the womb.

Because what we have been doing up until now won’t stop it.The evidence shows that respecting our children’s sensibilities leads to most of them supporting “a wmoan’s rigth to choose” by the time they are twenty.
