Abortion Ruins "Family Atmosphere" Not Pictures

By Mark Harrington

Melissa Obergefell’s letter entitled “Abortion protesters ruin fair for families” (August 17, 2007) attacks the messenger and not the message. Obergefell writes that the “family atmosphere of the state fair was destroyed” by the bloody abortion images held by pro lifers. She mentioned that her family trip to the fair was “darkened by such an assault” of “extremely graphic, taller-than-me images of dead, mutilated babies.”

Which is worse, people displaying the photographic evidence of dismembered unborn children or that in our city alone thousands of pre born babies are slaughtered each year?

What disturbs the “family atmosphere” of our city is not the presence of God fearing Americans standing up for defenseless unborn babies but the brutality of abortion which we allow to occur countless of times each day. Killing children is not a family value.

Ms. Obergefell: You want to repeal the First Amendment. Pro lifers want to end abortion. Who is the extremist?
