This is the poll on the online opinion page of the Tennessean. Pretty close right now. What is interesting is the debate about how far to go to educate people. We are visual people after all and the printed warning on the packs have failed to scare people off from a habit that is very addictive and hard to kick. Would graphic images do the trick? If you ever had to go to driver's school for speeding, most of the class is showing you graphic pictures of real car wrecks and how about the latest campaign on TV to warn teens about the results of texting and driving?
What does all this have to do with pro life. Well, why not show what an abortion does and what the end result is for the one being aborted. If it is true how can it be in poor taste. Hard to look at. You bet. Even some pro lifers object. But it does show the humanity of the pre born. I have had some argue what if young children see these images. What then? Well, I guess the parents would have to answer their questions. Why would someone want to do that to a baby?
Graphic images make us face the truth and when we do we become responsible for the decisions we make. That is what the real problem is.
