Get a look at this on YouTube. A friend of mine who is a filmmaker uploaded this. It involves imaging vis-a-vis the Roe v. Wade 'controversy'. Fasscinating.

The blurb appears below:

1. No Idea What The Problem Is, Or Why It Was Worth 60 Seconds At All.

I'm at a loss as to what mattered about that clip, other than the voice sounding a bit creepy.

2. I would suppose that it had to do with

the visualizations so many of the anit-Choice 'folks' use on TV and in their seminars and PR material. Pix of fetuses, etc. Here, he's using an inert material which is not a fetus, and ascribes all sorts of attributes to it.

3. Well, I'm sure some RW anti-choice nutjobs will point at this...

and say 'it's life, it's life!'.

I haven't the first clue what I was looking at. Looked like my son's fingerpaint art. :shrug:
