He failed to save his own family from the Holocaust.

The man who devoted his whole life to advocating for international laws to be created against atrocities committed on a large-scale against groups of people based on their nationality, religion, or race was unable to convince his parents and brother to flee Eastern Poland with him, where his parents and almost 50 of his family members were eventually killed by the Nazis.

A Life of Great Value: A Reflection from Florida GAP

I’m often asked what are the hardest pro-choice arguments are to respond to. That’s tough to answer because they give so many bad arguments! Even today, I’ve heard abortion advocates attack pro-lifers’ religion or character or even gender. These ad hominem attacks of course ignore the fundamental issue: what or who is it that abortion kills?

I just feel like the approach does more harm than good.

Feelings aren’t enough. You need to provide evidence for making that bold claim, especially in light of the evidence of changed minds, babies saved, and men and women brought to repentance all as a result of graphic images. And whatever evidence you have, it should be weighed against the following information:

Graphic abortion pictures are worth a thousand words.

Graphic abortion images change minds and save lives:

Don’t you think your images could produce post-traumatic stress?

Submitted by jheikoop on August 19, 2011 - 4:11pm

Abortion—the killing of a baby—is probably one of the most unnatural, most evil acts in which a human being could participate. It is not only lethal to the baby, but psychologically traumatizing and spiritually damaging to everyone involved, particularly to the degree that one consents to or is complicit in the act (although complicity is not the only exacerbating factor).

But your visual projects do not provide counselling to women and men who are suffering from post-abortion grief.

Submitted by jheikoop on August 19, 2011 - 4:09pm

It is important to see our visual projects as an integral part of a greater whole rather than in isolation from the rest of the pro-life movement. Various post-abortion ministries already exist (e.g., Project Rachel, Rachel’s Vineyard, and post-abortion bible studies). One of the aims of GAP and the Reproductive Choice Campaign (RCC) is to channel the wounded to such help centres.

The following scripture verse provides insight into the philosophy of working in tandem with other approaches:

But the end does not justify the means!

Submitted by jheikoop on August 19, 2011 - 4:07pm

You are certainly correct that the end does not justify the means, but that principle refers to employing immoral means to produce a good end. We aren’t using immoral means to save babies from being killed.

I’m concerned about your use of graphic abortion visuals because I think the images of aborted children violates the unborn’s dignity, reduces the unborn to things, as well as denies human remains the respect they deserve, such as a proper burial.

Submitted by jheikoop on August 19, 2011 - 4:03pm

There is a critical difference between committing evil and exposing evil. It is the former that reduces the unborn to things, not the latter.
