Those pictures are beautiful. And anyone who claims that they are "too graphic" knows in their heart that they're too cowardly to realize that every word and every picture you just showed us carries a message that not only America - but the WORLD - must hear. Anyone who denies the truth in these pictures is just too afraid to admit that they're WRONG, and that BECAUSE lifers respect human rights (unlike their claims stare ), we know that human life comes before human rights. My point is, whoever said, "These pictures are too graphic" is saying, "These pictures will prove me wrong in front of millions of people." And I pray that, one day, abortion and all who support it are proved WRONG, WRONG, and WRONG in front of the whole damned WORLD.[/rant]

That was my favorite too. It was just perfect.

Wow. Do they really want graphic? I can get them graphic.

I personally think the pro-life movement goes about picture ads the wrong way. A pro-life ad might get people defensive. An ad for prenatal care including a picture of a young fetus gets out the same message without the political hassle.

I bet whoever thought those were too graphic agrees with Girl-mom's policies on lifers.

"Well, we don't want to make the women who kill their children feel like they ACTUALLY killed their children, so let's just sweep it away."

Call a spade a spade, for heaven's sake. -_-

I thought of the same thing. I mean GirlMom.

I actually found the "tissue" one beautiful. I just cant see how that's too graphic, as if they never published an article about pregnancy...

They must on get out much. They want graphic, they can just go to the movies now and days to see graphic, that is nothing but pictures of fetuses and they havn't even been aborted so there nothing graphic about those. Bet it's some pro-choice people doing that so they can have more people abort. Pro-choice my butt! They seem to favor abortion but put down adoption. I always though alot of them as pro-abortion, not choice.

The first one was really good. Shows people what is and isn't tissue since many people don't seem to know. We HAVE tissue but are bodies arn't just tissue, geez bio and health must really be doing a poor job, people seem to think that plants abort yet they don't really get pregnant in the first plave.(reminds when I was in school, mean and my friend would right "this is not cheese" on these books just because it was yellow rofl )

It always makes me laugh when the "pro-choice" side censors things like that to make sure that women make the "choice" that gives the abortion providors money.

They're really not that graphic. I've seen a lot worse.
I like the first one.

Wow, that's really dumb. The baby's not even dismembered, and it's still 'graphic'?

I love number one the best.
