Why why WHY do people do ignorant things like this? It only fuels the wide spread perception that pro-life people are a bunch of extremist wack jobs and hacking a web site doesn't do a whole lot for your moral credibility.

Warning- I gagged when I saw these pictures so be careful when you click on the link- not suitable for children to see!

oh my gosh BA. how gross!
That poor baby!

Did "As the World Turns" just do a show on abortion?

I am not against the displaying of gross images to get the point across myself.
If look at dead babies is too much to look at, then why are we letting them be killed?

How is this supposed to change my mind? What this tells me is that at least some pro-life people are willing to lie, cheat, and steal, to promote their agenda.

A true agenda should not require such methods.
If I were pro-choice, this would change my mind.

The ends don't justify the means. Hacking a website, doing DNS redirection, or anything else you want to technically get your voice across is wrong. I think geocajun and I both can agree to that... ;) We both work in the field...

Exactly......the reality is what we see.......

Just like how could Germans live their lives knowing that Jews were being tortured? How, how, how? And maybe they went to Church too........

what a load.....tell it to Christ, maybe he'll listen......as he's telling you to depart from his presence......

"whatsoever you do, to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me..."

and what you allow them to do, and what you vote for them to do, and what you encourage them to do, etc., etc.........

The problem is that, if they're willing to hijack someone's site, then I can't trust them to be producing anything relevant. Do I have any knowledge that the baby they show wasn't dead before the abortion? No. Can I trust these people not to be lying? No. They have shown a total disregard for basic ethics; I can't trust them.

Give me a break. What is partial birth abortion if not that? Exactly that. You ever read Norma McCrae's book, however you spell it.......the one who who was Roe vs Wade, and she worked in an abortion office for years, and she went pro-life too.......

What is abortion if not that? What else would it look like? I watched one of a baby under three months.......and it was disgusting, horrifying, evil.........how much worse is partial birth? And who can support it, who, who, who? I don't get it......

seebs, using your same argument; pro-choice advocates advocate the killing of babies, thus how can I trust a single thing they have to say - ever? They have shown a total disregard for basic ethics - the right to live.
I can't trust them.

You can trust these images seebs http://www.priestsforlife.org/resources/abortionimages/index.htm
!! warning, more gross stuff at this site - do not click on it unless you are prepared for it. !!

I'm not so sure they hijacked a site...according to this link, this is the official As The World Turns website: http://www.soapcity.com/atwt/

Maybe the pro-life group is using astheworldturns in it's redirection to prove a point...how is the world turning now? Toward the preservation of life, no matter how small or "unwanted", or toward the barbaric destruction of life?

I could extend that argument to, say, people who eat meat, too.

The debate has never been about the right to live, but over which of several different categories given entities go in.

You can trust these images seebs

Can I trust them to be relevant to the questions I'm asking? Do they have any images of a two-week embryo?

Are the pictures on these sites representative of the abortions which happen in the world, or are they carefully selected to be the "worst"?

Do they show only voluntary abortions, or do they include those deemed medically necessary? Do they have pictures of people who died of complications from childbirth that could have been predicted and prevented?

I never trust anyone who tells only one side of a story.

Pictures must be used. Far too many people see abortion as an "out of sight, out of mind" sin.

It is the worst evil this world has ever seen.

Every day we should pray that God forgives us.

and that is why we should :cry:

Abortion is one topic that I get very heated about.

I could never support pro-choice. I think it's demented, wrong, and selfish, and it probably ranks right up there with the Top 10 Sin List...whatever that may be...

Folks, abortion is wrong. I don't care what anyone says. A person can justify it as much as they want.

Killing innocent babies is murder. And people will say whatever they will say to try to justify it to theirselves.

Pro-choice = murder. If you support pro-choice, you support murder.

Quite frankly, if you call yourself a Christian, and you support pro-choice, you better get on your knees and pray.

Don't ever sit here and let me hear that you profess to be a Christian and that you support murder. That's blasphemy.
