Re: I was just gonna say that n/m.

My comment was not to recommend that people stick their heads in the sand. My objection is that there are often posts on this forum (actually, the site in this one has been posted before) that seem to be only for shock value. Does it add to a debate (especially since it has all been posted previously)? Does it add something we don't already know? Though I do acknowledge that at least this poster had the courtesy to warn that it was graphic.

Yeah, yeah, we could argue whether shock is effective . . . televisions cameras in southeast Asia in the 60s-70s almost certainly brought that war to an end much sooner than would have happened otherwise. But here it reminds me of the extreme tactics of PETA and ActUp and, in the end, it is a little different than war coverage in the media. And, ultimately, I don't think is that effect . . . too much shock tend to turn people off. I think that is what many of these groups end up doing (so perhaps I should encourage them to continue, then!).

If it is true that women seeking abortions have been told it is just a mass of tissue, that is wrong. Though, if they don't have the wherewithal to know better themselves, I start to wonder whether the fetus/soul/whatever is not better off being sent back to it's ultimate creator.

Gotta nit-pick on the Jesus think, though . . . Semites are Caucasians. But I agree, he ought to look like a Semite now and then.
