Hitler/Abortion Billboard Causing International Controversy (Graphic Image)
Read backstory here.
Investing in provocative pro-life billboard signs appears to be money well spent.
Anyone with half an ear toward the news knows the GA Right to Life/Radiance Foundation "Black children are an endangered species" billboard campaign has generated an amazing amount of press.
Meanwhile one measly pro-life billboard sign located in Posnan, Poland, is making news - showing the reality of abortion - around the world, from the US (even HuffPo), to London, to Israel, to Russia, to India, to, of course, Poland. I don't speak Polish but get the gist of this headline...
Our Polish friend with the pro-life group stopaborcji wrote:
After the Poznan billboard (it is still there) abortionists don't know what to do. We don't hire security, and they don't attack our displays. I said in media that attacks attract media attention. Probably they believe me.
Lol. Now the group is working toward posting the billboard in 2 more major Polish cities as well as preparing to set up up the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform's graphic displays in Koszalin (100k population in NW Poland), Przeworsk (15k population in SE Poland), and Tarnow (100k population in S Poland).
For those unconvinced or averse to graphic displays, read this email from our Polish friend:
I had been involved in pro-life activity in Poland since 2000. After some years I was a little frustrated due to lack effect of our activity. In December 2005 Gregg Cunningham came to Poland. I attended meeting with him. His speech was clear and moving, although the proposals were astonishing.
After some weeks of thinking our group decided to follow the way of CBR. The effects are also astonishing. Number of abortion supporters in Poland has dropped rapidly, number of abortion opponents grow rapidly. Today is real possibility to ban abortion in Poland totally. I hope we will exploit the possibility. We are big debtors of CBR and Gregg.
Cooperation with CBR made also possibility to meet wonderful people. I am very grateful for this.

Refuse to acknowledge that black women are specifically targeted. Be it by strategically erecting abortion clinics in predominately black neighborhoods or by other means, the facts remain.
According to the CDC, the abortion ratio for black women (472 per 1,000 live births) was 2.9 times higher than the ratio for white women (161 per 1,000).
Supporters of abortions call this "necessary womens' health ."
I call it genocide. How can people like MrBook continue to close their eyes, minds, and hearts to this travesty and get good sleep at night is beyond me.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
Being as it is that the abortion issue tends to devide itself along religious lines, I find it odd(not really) that those that don't believe in god can cite those before them on that issue, but don't cite Hitler when bringing up abortion and getting rid of the undesirables.
I don't follow anyone, because those that appear to be on the same path usually end up just getting in my way.
Hitler's policy was of forced abortions... I cannot think of any pro-choice statements that follow along similar lines.
Hitlers' views were that those that weren't what he wanted were expendable and less than human. Kind of like pro-choicers today. If it's not what you want, it's not worthy of living.

Except that Hitler was forcing his opinion on the population at large, pro-choice is about allowing women to make that decision on their own... a decision that is far more complicated in many instances then "If it's not what you want, it's not worthy of living. "
The word choice implies that it's not based on necessity, and therefore people take on a god role. The fact that people exersize that choice shows their acceptance of the god role whether they admit it or not. If it was truely a matter of life and death , it wouldn't be a choice at all, and there wouldn't be much of an argument about abortion in this country.
Now we're back to women , and men that agree with them, CHOOSING who lives and dies , and that equates them to some extent with Hitler. Hence the original story.

Who are you to say that it is not a necessity? The nature of pro-choice is to leave that final determination of what is necessary up to the woman .
"Now we're back to women , and men that agree with them, CHOOSING who lives and dies , and that equates them to some extent with Hitler. Hence the original story"
So does the fact that Hitler liked Wagnerian Operas... but that does not really equate those who enjoy Wagnerian Operas with Hitler.
Hitler is remembered for the deaths he caused so invoking his name in the comparrison is valid.
It isn't a necessity. There are ways that a woman that is pregnant, with a child she doesn't want, can get out of raising the child without killing it.

"Hitler is remembered for the deaths he caused so invoking his name in the comparrison is valid."
Not hardly... the deaths caused by his programs do not approach the personal choice made by a woman .
"It isn't a necessity. There are ways that a woman that is pregnant, with a child she doesn't want, can get out of raising the child without killing it."
How exactly? If a woman cannot afford the medical costs associated with being pregnant, or does not want to take the very real risk to her health that comes from being pregnant... what is she to do?
Is the one time murderer better than the serial killer ? Killing someone that doesn't "need" to be killed (self preservation let's say), isn't any less of a crime because you only do it once. Deciding that someone else doesn't deserve to live simply because you don't like them, or because they're a financial burden, are equally atrocious.
People have had babies for eons without spending an extra dollar, not to mention that there are charities that help women with that.
You wouldn't get an argument if it was truely life threatening. Two lives lost as opposed to one, I get it. I don't necessarily agree completely, but that argument actually has merit. If it's the mere act of having a baby that is life threatening, is the woman going to give up having children for life? Very unlikely, but if it was that life threatening, abstinence is effective.
Before you argue rape and incest, I still don't agree with abortion in those instances, but at least that line of thinking makes a little bit of sense.
Most cases come down to a woman deciding that a child has less of a right to live than she does to have the life she wants, even if she's the one who messed it up. That's why "choice" is BS.
