Use of Graphic Pictures

If you have ever seen any of an aborted child, you know that they in of themselves are just revolting and if you have any heart you feel for that life that should have been.  Teachers and activist have used graphic pictures before to convey a moral message on an issue.  The Holocaust, in Schindler's List and even now in text books you will see the horrors of the Nazi part under the banner "NEVER AGAIN" In the media to show just how horrible the situation in Africa is getting with the aids crisis they have shown pictures of the many orphans and the many ppl infected and unable to get treated. They are very graphic. A picture if not distorted, shows the true story, tells it better than any number that a person will read on the page. I can read that in Africa 1 in 4 is infected and will die, but if I see the pic of what the statistic is saying, I am moved to see just how horrible that is.  I can be told that Hitler tried to exterminate the Jewish population but when I see bodies stacked up in mass graves and see the gas chambers, I know that it was fact and not just something made up. It is telling a truth, not emotional manipulating someone to think one way or the other. It gives definition to the issue, to the very word. Why would it be any different when using pictures of aborted babies? The truth is the pro-abortion side would not want you to look at them, just as the Nazis wouldn't want you to look at pictures of the Holocaust. Because it shows the truth about what is being done, remember every 23 seconds.  I challenge you to look at these pictures and still tell me that this should be a legal choice. If you find the pictures offensive, I ask you, is it the picture or what it captures, the violent destruction of a valuable life. http://www.angelfire.com/mo3/abuse/pics.html
