Anti-Abortion religious group was holding up graphic signs on a major road–What do you think of this?

Not as grand as the art of logical fallacy.

It's called free speech, just as the war protestors throw blood on themselves or whatever else they do it is public expression of free speech.

This is about the basic right to survival, a chance to live.

No one wants to see those images, that I agree with. But, if it causes just one person to actually act responsibly, and think before having sex without considering the consequences, then I'm all for it. If it's on private property, I think they should retain the legal right to present them. People are too wrapped up in worrying about what offends.

I bring it up only to show that there are all kinds of beliefs out there. You (and I) don't believe in God's plan, but others do, and many are more conservative about this than you are. They think that the 'chance to live' starts with sperm and eggs.

It's freedom of speech. While I disagree with the showing of dismembered fetuses on a public road, I do think it would be more acceptable to show them in front of an abortion clinic.

I think children should be taught about abortion at an early age, around 6 years old (depends on the kid). They will be much more likely to form pro-life beliefs.
