Dr. supports graphic pictures for smoking...how about abortion??

An editorial in the  abortion supporting Tennessean caught my eye even though I am not a smoker. It is written by Dr. Eddie Hamilton president of the TN chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He agrees with graphic labels on cigarette packages  and chastises "Big Tobacco" for fighting this. His article is entitled Labels true, appropriate way to stop smoking.

As I read the article all I could think of is substitute abortion for the word cigarettes and kill for harm.  Insert abortion industry for Big Tobacco. It works.

I would hope that Dr. Hamilton a pediatrician would agree.

"My hope is that the court dismisses the Big Tobacco lawsuit; we must fight this epidemic with every weapon at our disposal — deadly pictures included."

I agree let's educate people with the truth. It will save millions of lives.

Smoking hurts the baby but abortion eliminates the fetus.....Obama/Sebelius reasoning....

 What??? Does Sebelius and Obama approve???? Yes, they do and they even say the B word. They fully support abortion on demand when the B word turns into the F word....it is not a baby but a fetus....but when it comes to smoking....it is a baby. They are hypocrites of the first order.  I like the comment at Jill Stanek's blog on this topic.....

Shouldn’t the warning label say
WARNING: Smoking during pregnancy can harm your non sentient, nonviable parasitic clump of cells that isn’t even a baby until it’s born  ??!!

Sebelius: approves of graphic visual images....sometimes

 Tobacco  use  Abortion is the foremost preventable cause of death in America," said Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, and the diseases consequences caused by tobacco  abortion  results  in cost government health services millions of  deaths dollars a year of our children.

The new warning labels reflect the " honest negative consequences" of smoking abortion , from lung breast cancer to emotional  dental problems to heart  infertility disease.

"They tell the truth," Sebelius said.

Graphic pictures ....how far to go with them?

Do you agree with the FDA's plan to put grisly warnings featuring corpses and diseased lungs on cigarette packs?

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.

HHS: Graphic pix of smoking is good but graphic pix of abortion is off limits!!!

Do you see the irony?? I do! Here is the article that shows HHS chief , the radical pro abort supporter Kathleen Sebelius, supporting the placement of large graphic images on the packages of cigarettes to include diseased lungs, a corpse and a man smoking with a trach tube.   Along with the graphic photos are dire warning about the addiction and consequences of smoking. They realize we are visual learners and do not mind showing graphic pictures of smoking results. BUT they object vigorously to showing graphic pictures of abortion. The truth there is in poor taste.  How ironic! How hypocritical can you get?

Graphic abortion photos shown at Yuba College

"The extreme anti-abortion groups tend to exaggerate what happens during an abortion," said Carrie Ozeran, community health educator for Planned Parenthood of Yuba City.

Don't think that is an accurate statement....regardless of what you think about showing graphic pictures of aborted fetuses on college campuses.....they are accurate. This is what abortion does to the baby....I have changed my opinion of these events....college campuses are where you are supposed to be learning to think critically and look at all aspects of the issues. IF the truth of abortion is supressed...then the students, who by the way have abortions in the highest numbers,  are being denied information that is useful to them as they make a life/death decisions.  Most people who complain that the pictures are vile to look at have to ask themselves if this is too offensive to look at how can we allow this to go on and do nothing....

Movie-sized posters of aborted fetuses were displayed Wednesday at Yuba College by a anti-abortion group — photographs that a woman at a nearby Planned Parenthood booth said "trigger pain in people."

"The extreme anti-abortion groups tend to exaggerate what happens during an abortion," said Carrie Ozeran, community health educator for Planned Parenthood of Yuba City.

Don Blythe, a member of Project Truth, a group of Northern California volunteers that provided the anti-abortion exhibit at Yuba College, said the graphic photographs accurately depict aborted fetuses.

"What's the most graphic picture in history?" Blythe asked. "We just celebrated it," he said in reference to the crucifixion and Easter. "God himself put a graphic picture in front of all mankind."

Yuba College, where the exhibit ended Wednesday, is the next-to-last stop by Project Truth among seven colleges, Blythe said.

"We tend to find a more receptive response from the smaller community colleges," he said, recalling that the anti-abortion group was once shouted down at the University of California, Berkeley.

Olivehurst resident Kimberly Shuman, 40, a veterinary tech student at Yuba College, wasn't receptive to the photographs.
"They're grotesque. They are vile," Shuman said.

Shuman, who identified herself as anti-abortion, questioned Project Truth's tactics.

Will someone please think about the children ?

Trent Horn of Justice for All writes a thought provoking article  about the plot of  the excellent movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas  of parents living near extermination camps during World War II and shielding the truth from their own children while having no concern for the people being killed in these camps.  This is in response to the critics complaining that pro lifers are insensitive to having graphic images in areas where they can be viewed by born children.
 

"But . . . is this any less morally perverse than the fact that most people in America today are more concerned about children seeing images of abortion than by the thousands of children being killed by abortion every year in their own neighborhoods?"
