Randal Terry has always had a problem of presenting an issue, His approach is to hit them over the head. I don't expect anything else from him.

No, something much more than that. Maybe you can find something on Youtube.

If you want to say "late term abortion" or "abotion with a formed fetus" go ahead. And if you can find that all on Youtube you don't need a commercial.

I'm talking about the majority of them done before 10 weeks...when many miscarriages of the same end up in the toilet anyway. I've seen what has come out of my own body and there was nothing that you would be interested in since it wasn't graphic enough.

She is talking about the "doctored" videos that the pro-lifers love to show. You know the one with a garbage can full of perfectly formed little bodies which anyone with half a brain can tell is obviously fake? They have quite a few like that that they show when they think the audience is dumb enough to not catch on that they are fake.

None of these ads really shock me. My mom was planning on aborting me but I came out really early. Nothing really phases me after that. I still support a woman's choice, by the way. Try me, Randal Terry. Honestly, Terry's ads are more alarming because he has the guts to compare abortion to the Holocaust and slavery, and he is going to offend a lot of people who will only see that and not the point he's trying to make (which I think is well and good because he's doing an awful job at trying to make his point).

The commercials will continue to be entertaining, and suggestive, and just enough to keep the populace fat, dumb and happy, sorta thing.
The piece you're missing is that most pro-choicers are already aware of reality. They have just decided to come to a different conclusion. Don't assume someone is misinformed just because they have an opinion different from yours.

I'm sure there are plenty of real-life graphic videos pro-choicers could come up with as well. Should some pro-choice group air an ad of a child being raped by her own father? And then another of a student being raped by her teacher and another of a teenager being date-raped. Make sure to include some violence. I wonder if that will key pro-lifers into the value of choice. If pro-lifers think we need disturbing graphics to understand their point, maybe it's because that's what they need and are just projecting?

Randall Terry often has the opposite effect unlike positive alternatives like Todays Choice. Being hateful does that.

I know of only 1 person who went pro life to pro choice or vice versa as an adult. It happened my senior year at college 1990 and figure people involved are around 22 years old. Writing Assignment: Describe something that changed you significantly. A girl named Mary (yes really and yes she RC) described (shortened):
Mary's BFF from age 6 gets preggers from long term BF who dumps her. BFF decides on abortion. Mary tries to talk her out of it but does not work. Friend begs Mary to come with her to clinic and oddly Mary agrees tho she disagrees with decision. Randall Terry and his goons are there. Walking in they yell at her friend every word for loose woman in the world along with others. This happened the weekend before the assignment was due. Mary talked about how her original paper was something comparatively superficial. I still remember the haunted look in Marys eyes. I still remember her saying rather quietly at the end something like "I think I am pro choice now"
Compare this to Todays Choice which helps women not get abortions by giving them love and support. The anti abortionists win because they get another child brought to term. The mom wins because she gets the support to help carry the baby to term and often includes things to help her employability. My church supports them. A positive loving message wins.
