Unfortunately, I also

believe it is absolutely necessary as a possible wake-up

call for people who feel no empathy for the suffering of

others.

Just as we are permitted to

view the atrocities of the Holocaust, I believe we should

be permitted to publish photos/videos of a baby being

killed by abortion, and especially partial-birth

abortion. After all, they are only surgical procedures,

like any other, right?

If pictures don't make a

difference, why would pro-abortionists object so

vehemently to publishing the photograph of baby Samuel's

fingers reaching out from the womb for the surgeon's

hand? The same surgeon who was trying to help Samuel, not

kill him.

A picture is worth a

thousand words, because it touches and changes hearts

- just ask the formerly pro-abortion photographer

who took Samuel's picture.

Until there are no more

abused animals, abused children or abortions, the photos

should be published. Most of us need to be shocked from

our complacency by the reality of others' pain.

Maybe it will change minds

and maybe it will cause others who are passive to get

involved. Maybe we need our breakfast disturbed more

often.
