Again if these pro-abortionist are ok with the killing of babies then why would these images disturb them? It is just tissue to them…They see much worse at the movies, on tv etc…Quit your griping you pro abortionists..If it is nothing to you then the images should be aired!

Studies show that banning abortion does not significantly affect abortion rates. What it does do, however, is greatly increase the number of women who are hurt, because without access to safe abortion, they choose unsafe alternatives.

I consider myself pro-life. But I also live in the reality-based world. And in reality, banning abortion is far, far worse than keeping it safe.

you are a strange bunch of people on here. I dont think you have any clue on how this type of image can affect the wrong person, you obviously dont have children or have never lost a child yourselves. You cannot see the wood through the trees. Worldwide, 1 in 5 pregnancies end in abortion…and as many as 1 in 3 pregnancies end in miscarriage… therefore you need to target more specific groups as there is a wider audience out there who is going to be offended, or upset who dont need to be. Im not suggesting they stop doing what they are doing I am saying that it is not right showing this picture at the side of the road like they were when I saw them, in the same way its not right to show a graphic picture of a murdered child/adult or a mutilated animal at the side of the road or in an advert whilst watching tv… Im sure you would be the first to complain about that one,,, but hey, it might convince a would be murderer to think twice. Seriously, you think that kind of advertising works???? They are harping on about the life of that unborn feotus then totally disrespecting his life by sticking him up on posters.

When I was 16 (the age of consent in the UK…. they figured if we are old enough to make decisions to have sex we were old enough to cope with a talk like this… if we didnt want to go we didnt have to) we had someone come in and give a ’sensitive’ talk on abortion. Then about a week or so later a pro life advocate came in and explained the other options to abortion and showed us similar photos but not so graphic… i.e an aborted feotus but without the severed arm etc. As a result I personally would never have an abortion… its stuck with me and I am now 30.

You need to get a perspective on things.

Sol O, you did have an older sibling. He/she is now dead, killed by abortion.

You don’t see the issue? Killing innocent human beings is not an issue?

Oh please you people. I could’ve had an older sibling had my mother not had an abortion, you don’t see me up in arms about the issue. As long as its before 5/6 months, later if its life threatening, I don’t see the issue.

Using words like torture. While they may be alive their nervous system isn’t developed enough to feel pain like we do

think about those babies. they were TORTURED to death and no one wants to know about it because it might “upset” or “disturb” someone else. my goodness.

When they stop killing babies, we’ll stop showing the pictures. Deal?

It’s sad how they can play all sorts of sexually explicit commercials (and they think it’s ok) but they can’t play this one.

Im sorry but I have seen these people holding these ads up at the side of the highway and was so so so very angry. Now, Im not anti abortion and Im not pro abortion. I believe that in a very few cases it is necessary whether it be for health reasons (mother or child) a result of a rape, or a very young girl who has been taken advantage of/raped. I do not agree with the women who repeatedly go back and use it as some kind of birth control or for lifestyle choices, im sorry but ‘Im too selfish for a baby, i havent enough money’ does not cut it with me….

When I saw these people I was 12 weeks pregnant and had just found out I was having twins. It was a very high risk pregnancy and I was told that I could lose one or both of them. I saw these photos and was crying for the rest of the day. Thankfully the pregnancy was a success. Do these people not take into consideration the people who have lost a child… what do you think it does to them, seeing these pictures??? I understand you want to get your point across but follow the example of the people who patrol outside the hospital each week. I think I am right in saying that they are not the same people. They use words. They offer help. They dont stand at the side of the road holding graphic pictures. How does a mother explain to their 8 year old why there is a picture of a dead baby on a bill board???? Because its quite obvious what it is. I am in total agreement with banning this ad. Certainly, take the pictures in to a high school and give a talk on it (at my school we had a pro life talk one week and a anti abortion the next) but on the side of the road/on television you cannot control who sees it and it could potentially have extremely distressing results for sensitive people who may have lost a child or be too young to understand. It distressed me so much it was awful, and I was never intending on having an abortion, you hit the wrong people.
