For one day, it would be nice if the Anti-Choicers put their attention elsewhere
Edited on Fri Apr-20-07 11:25 AM by ck4829
They protested at the hospice where Terri Schiavo was at, yet they had better things to do when Sun Hudson, the baby of a poor and black family, was pulled off life support.

They yell and scream at women getting an abortion, yet they say that men, women, and children getting killed in a pointless war is just "collateral damage".

They carry around images of aborted fetuses, but I have yet to see any pro-lifers carry around this image, one that doesn't have the gross out effect that images of aborted fetuses have, but it still can make you think about the world and about the "sanctity of life".

This is that image:

10. I want that bumper sticker.
I've been telling pro-war/lifers that for a while.

3. how about all anti-choicers..
.. feeding and clothing and sheltering, personally, all those babies
born to people who will need those services after they have been
cut back by BushInc??

Sounds like a plan to me.

4. But one has to wonder why so many so called progressives are anti-choice
when it comes to self defense and firearms

5. But-but the baby was poor and black
only pretty white women are worth their time--that and zygotes. Forget living children. :sarcasm:

9. only the pretty zygotes
of white women are worth their time. They don't give a damn about women of any color.

7. And yet we don't have trucks driving around with that image. Why?
We need to ram it down the anti-choicers' throats.

BTW, it was "Sun" Hudson, not Sud.

13. Only once in my life have I been as horrified by a photo.
The first time I saw this one it made me sick (literally) for three days, with a migraine. I couldn't shake the image. My head pounded. I couldn't stop crying or throwing up. I rambled to my young daughter about what was making me so sick - migraines are not unusual for me, usually triggered by something, and she is the one who helps me when I'm sick...but I couldn't show her. Words were enough. I knew if she saw this photo she would become haunted by it - as I am.

Blood and gore is easy enough to find (and to doctor) but will never move me like the incomprehensible "truth" I see in a photo like this.
