I just surfed around the page and had to fight wretching several times. Be warned: if you go there and click on some of the links the pictures are horrifying at best. They call it "The Nuremburg List" to associate abortionists, pro-choice advocates and judges, politicians and police officials who promote freedom of choice and say anything to the negative about their stance with the Nazis that were put on trial after World War II. Their reason for having the site is to be the front for an archive of "evidence", according to the following quote (if you can stomach their graphics the reading is educational):
"The evidence we collect will be forwarded to several secure locations so that pro-abortion forces will not be able to destroy the evidence and prevent its future use. In addition, we will share copies of the pertinent information with local or national pro-life organizations which may need it in their work. Some of the information, for instance, may be very useful in a present day trial if the abortionist is being sued or charged with another crime. Other information may be useful in revealing to neighbors and colleagues of the abortionist by way of exposing the horrible crimes the people are committing." Personally I'm one to say that people should be able to say and do what they want as long as it does not harm another person or infringe on their rights. I start having problems when things like the above protest and the website I looked at are concerned. Many supporters say, "A shock method is how this has to be presented because it is absolutely imperative that this issue be addressed." However, I also think that there is a time and a place for everything. I'll tell a funny little story that happened here (Buffalo) recently: About a week ago there was a pro-life demonstration held at a local elementary school. The adults holding the protest were handing leaflets to 10 year olds in busses and demonstrating with placquards shoing picures of aborted fetuses. When one of the parents with several children in tow, the youngest around 4, demanded that the people stop their ridiculous task, she was told, "Your children are going to go to hell!" There is no abortion clinic nearby. The school was not having any kind of program on contraception or abortion. The reason the protesters were there was, in all honesty, a choice of bad words. The school they were demonstrating at was one of three drop-off points for a "School Choice" program, where parents can register for having their children go to a different school. The thing that raised the protesters voices was initially the word Choice. Then, when parents and officials started raicing their voices about the content and in-your-face tactics that were being used, it was said that the protest was protected under freedom of speech.
