She is talking you understand to young people between the ages of 12 and 18.

She tells them many a horror story, and does indeed quote some Scripture.

Then she goes on to pass around to her audience very graphic pictures of not only unborn babies developing en utero, but of aborted babies. The mangled and grotesque pictures of these.

My son, Justin, glanced at the first picture that was handed to him and stood up and went up to her and handed it back, even refusing to hand it to the guy sitting next to him.

He told this woman that when something is wrong, you don't need to convince people with sensational pictures. He told her that her doing that would make some people wonder if it was really wrong, cos then it would not need to be determined by shock appeal.

I don't know exactly how he worded it, but I do know he was very plainly articulating his own values. Stating his courageous message to this woman, he was met with opposition from the youth group leader. He came in by me before the service was over.

I gotta tell you, I admire my son.

If a person is pro-abortion, as many on this forum obviously are, then there should be absolutely NO PROBLEM with looking at pictures of what they are promoting.

People who are pro-abortion, yet complain about these pictures are cowards and hypocrites.
