Respect for the Dead

Hey fetus lovers, let's have a little respect for the dead. What’s with the 5 feet high pictures of fetuses that those protesters were holding up on a public sidewalk in my city the other day? We were just all trying to get to work and there they were pushing images of dead fetuses in our face. This proves that fetus lovers don’t really think of fetuses as children, even as they insist that we do - otherwise they would have some respect for the dead. Mothers of children killed by drunk drivers don't seek to make their point by holding up 5 feet high posters of mangled children who died in car wrecks. Mothers of sons and daughters killed in Iraq don't wave pictures of blown up bodies of their children to prove a political point.

Talking to my friends about it, the ones who never had miscarriages were just annoyed that someone was holding up big signs and preventing them getting to where they wanted to go. The ones who had experienced miscarriages were very upset. What kind of people would deliberately set out to remind an innocent woman of her own tragedy, when that woman was simply trying to get to work. Just a bunch of disgusting hypocrites who don't really think she lost a child, otherwise they would not be waving a picture of a dead fetus in her face and reminding her of it.

Interesting that the taboo against using images of dead children does not apply to fetuses, because fetuses are not children, even to the fetus lovers.
