LETTER: Activists on both sides should support exhibit

Editor,

So many people go out to support a cause or an idea and are completely oblivious to the outcome of the cause they support. Society determines what is acceptable. The people with the loudest voices are the ones who say what is and what isn't. Be it on me to speak about those on the contrary?

Are they not then to be labeled a pig that doesn't support women's rights? But what about those on the contrary? Are they not then to be labeled baby killers? Do they not then support the killing of innocent children? Seeing as I have the right to choose, I would rather choose to be labeled whatever the hell they want to label me and know that I'm supporting a cause that is responsible for the death of a child.

Why should a child be harmed and the mother "protected" for what she has done? Now I know that all of you tree-hugging liberals are shouting out rape, but come on, let's be serious. Less than 3 percent of abortions are due to rape. The rest are due to irresponsibility or just plain stupidity. So the parents do something stupid and the child pays.

So let's try this again. All you young, impressionable, teenage college students, who are for the first time realizing you have choices, think about your decisions. Think about everything your parents believe and everything you have learned about life and God. Is this the right decision?

I completely support the idea of putting pictures of aborted children up. Now are all of you people who signed your name down for "women's rights" proud of the cause you've chosen to support? Look at the pictures - this is the reality of abortion.

It's funny because walking by, all of the people fighting for abortion turn away and say how wrong these pictures are. You'll save the trees and baby seals but support this kind of torture to a human being. The irony is that what you support is wrong.

But who's to thank for the pictures? All of the people who support, condone and finance abortion. This isn't about women's rights anymore, it's about humanity and the idea of what life is worth.

When the Nazis did this, it was a war crime, but now it is a woman's right. So don't turn away from the pictures anymore. Be proud that this is what you're supporting. Be proud that your signature is helping all of the lesbians and Legislature make this possible. Then maybe some day you can explain to your grandchildren that they have you to thank for it.

Remember, by saying it's OK, you're as guilty as the person doing it. And for those of you who call yourselves Catholics or Christians, take a look at yourself. Your goal is to be as close to God as possible. So how close is this action bringing you to God?
