    Interesting.

    So if killing a baby in the womb, is really just "getting rid of a blob of cells", then why are pictures of dead "blobs of cells" considered graphic in nature and worthy of an arrest?

    Perfect illustration on just how inept the other sides arguments are on this subject.

    Cant show people dead babies, b/c it might turn them against abortion.

    Lifers care so much about children, yet what if a young child walked past and saw that crap? You want to shove that (*)(*)(*)(*) under your kids noses? That's blody child abuse. Little kids don't need to be exposed to crap like that. It seems that for some, having your kid look at a gay couple kissing is revolting, but having them look at questionable images of abortions, its all okay.

    Would you be okay if I held up a big sign outside a church which contained images of gay people kissing? No...you'd be demanding I be removed for promoting 'perversion'. But when it comes to graphic garbage like those fake pictures, its okay?

    I have an idea. If the anti choices can prove the images are real, and can explain how the photographer got their hands on it without breaking any laws, then they can hold their signs up all they like. They then, anti choicers can't reveal anything because its common sense that laws are broken in their attempt to obtain these photos.

    Prove they are fake.

    You sure are getting uppity on this.

    DO you take issue with half naked women on billboards? What about R rated movies? No? Then why is a picture of an abortion so revolting? According to YOU , its not even a person, but a "blob of cells".

    So why all the outrage and sudden moral decency on your part?

    You can't show pictures of dead women either. You know, the ones who died of illegal abortions? One was removed from this abortion forum a couple of days ago.

    That is because ignorant morons are influenced by pictures and forgo facts in favor of talking points and self righteous religious zealots exploit that.

    Mentioning a dead woman's picture means a zef is a person? Your mind works in mysterious ways.

    So you choose to ignore the reason given by the police to promote your own agenda? Seems that's what the protester was doing too.

    Of course he does as with everything else that is rational or factual.

    No, you can't show pleople dead babies, just as much as you are not allowed to parade your ass naked on the street or put offensive bumper stickers on your car/billboard. Sorry to break it to you but the 1st Amendment stops when you start bombarding unsuspecting people with gory insults to their senses.

    Even if they have consent from the mother and all parties, showing those pictures in public is still a violation of the "non-agression" clause of the 1st Amendment.

    1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    The people with those pictures have disturbed the peace of the bystanders. The display is squarely illegal by itself to start with.

    Well, I am confused here. Pro-aborts claim it's just a "zef" and that abortions aren't traumatic. Go back through any thread in this section and see for yourself.

    Now suddenly it's not "just a blob of cells" but a "dead baby" when shown a picture of an abortion. Suddenly abortion becomes "gory and sick".

    You can't have it both ways here folks.

    Don't be stupid. What can be gory or unsettling has nothing to do with right, wrong , moral or immoral.
    Have you ever seen eye surgery? Most people consider it totally discussing, should be ban that too based on that? Bottom line is that the religious zealots are morally bankrupt and because they can not make rational and factual arguments and find little traction in attempts to impose their dogma on society they will resort to any means to gain ground.

    It is the pic that is gory and sick, irrespective to abortion. And what's that beef with dead babies anyways?

    Yeah, really. I mean, what if a child in Germany circa 1940 had seen something like this?[​IMG]

    I assume you don't give a fig if such images are exposed to children, then? Me? If I had kids, I wouldn't let them see anything like that. Poor mites may have nightmares.

    The fact is as hard as it is to look at….it happened and we should never forget it.

    And abortion happens and we should never forget about that either. The signs give abortion a face. Pro-aborts want to look away so of course they don't want stuff like this shown.

    Should we hide the thrush to our kids?

    I have heard it all now…….LMAO

    You pro-aborts really kill me…..pun intended.

    Now you want to ban pictures. Porno is ok…..but abortion picts are off limits….BECAUSE IT SHOWS A LEGAL ACT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT CONDONES.

    LMAO….I mean Hat……did you read this one? How much else do you guys want to censor? Your unreal and paranoid.

    Let me ask you this….spt5…….IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ABORTION THEN WHY IS SHOWING THE PICTURES SO BAD?

    They are all over the place…all over. They don't even know what they believe…

    Its not human….not a person……a glob of tissue….does not deserve rights…..can't feel pain….can't think…..can't do anything….

    THEN

    It a dead baby…….

    THE TRUTH IS…….they want to think better of themselves then what their position says. Thats why they don't like the pro-abort label. They champion abortion, yet when someone wants to show it, talk about it…..they freak out.

    Just look at them squirm. Ban pictures…literature…talking, picketing….
    All those things I just mentioned are covered in the Constitution.

    WE have the right to talk, picket, and be opposed to issues. Look at the lunatics that protested in New York…that pissed and crapped all over benches…living like pigs…while protesting. The violence…the law breaking….wow.

    And they say that some people who peacefully show abortion pictures…are wrong?

    I mean who is nuts here?

    If there is nothing wrong wit defecation then why is publicly showing pictures of (*)(*)(*)(*)s bad?
