Concerning photos of abortions, EVERY surgical proceedure looks horrifying. Doesn’t matter whether it’s an abortion, a heart transplant or a root canal. They’re all bloody, messy operations that show parts of us we don’t like to see. Even natural birth looks horrific. Using photos of abortion procedures in this way is a dim-witted scare tactic that only plays off of our reflexive reaction to a disturbing image.
In a similar way, how would you pro-lifers react to giant photos of neglected, starving, abused, malformed children that were forced to be born unwanted as a result of poverty, inscest, rape, assault, pollution, or anything else that would make them come out alive but unwell. Perhaps we could show pictures of the assault and rape as well. We have quite a few children born this way in our country already, pro-life laws will only make the number of those children rise from thousands to millions.
So should the government do what she offered, send all these forced-birth children to live at your house?
