How Do You Think Those Babies Feel?
This article is about a demonstration by Students for Life at the University of Maryland, College Park, showing graphic photos of aborted babies. There are quite a few students who didn’t appreciate the photos. I guess if you have convinced yourself that a baby is just tissue until it is delivered, and it is the “mother’s inalienable right” to dispose of it as is most convenient for her, then seeing photos like these can be… unsettling. I have to ask, though: how do you think those dead babies feel? Molly Girona, a student and probable member of NOW had this to say
“It’s horribly offensive, I don’t want to have to look at that on my way to class. I don’t think it should be pushed on me.”
The truth hurts, doesn’t it, honey? You don’t want to have to look at it because deep down in your heart you know that supporting abortion is supporting murder.
Another student, a supporter of the demonstration, had this to say
“I think if this is the reality, there’s no sense in softening the blows[.]”
Precisely. The pro-death camp has altered the debate by altering the language. They speak of “choice” and “unviable tissue masses” and “dilation and extraction” to soften the edges; to convince people that they are not really killing a human being. Changing the language doesn’t change the reality, even though lots of people like to pretend that it does. People need to see these horrible images so that they know and understand just what they are supporting. And so that they won’t forget. Just like photos of the Nazi death camps needs to be seen so that people never forget what happened, photos showing what has happened to 42,000,000 children since Roe v. Wade need to be seen. People need to feel sick and uneasy and angry and disgusted when confronted with photos of aborted children. When the people of a nation are no longer sickened by what is happening to their young, they cease to be a civilized nation.
