Really, I've heard they make good spouses?

And they probably hope to influence kids in that way, while they are still at a point where they can be influenced. I dont think they care if they shock or offend if it achieves their goal of fewer (preferably no) abortions. Same thing the government is trying to do with ciggie packaging really.

Marry catholics of course....


What are the "pro choice" lobby in favour of women having the choice to do? And what are the Catholic church strongly opposed to? Do I really have to spell it out?

Novocastrian

They're in favour of a women having the right to choose when she wants to be a mother.

Talking of facing up to revolting realities, perhaps the Catholic Church has it's own private reasons to encourage unwanted children to grow up in it's care homes as opposed to being aborted?

Souixie, why don't you report the leaflet to the police? It's Canada, there's bound to be a law about upsetting people via the mail.

And I think Id prefer to see a picture of Kelly Brooks tits and ass rather than an aborted body or pieces.

These tactics are great.

Somebody should find some pictures of the after affects of anal rape and hand it around outside the catholic church. I mean that is one reality of what happens to catholic kids so why sugar coat it.

Speak of the devil. Willkommen.

I'm in two minds on the issue.

I think a lot of things are sugar-coated.

Maybe people should see what you have described, plus war casualties, gunshot wounds, factory farming, vivisection and so on.

I would maybe put an age limit on it though.

Shard

The paradox in what you say is that as you remove the "sugar coating" people become desensitized to the issue in question. For example, once scenes of factory farming are as commonplace as scenes of robots building cars, no one will really care about the said issue. Sometimes less is more.

Sally Redux

They don't care now.

Novocastrian

Rather well said, that man. I'm off to say a Hail Mary.

Novocastrian

Or non-pixellated tits and bums.

Alan2005

You are right. However, and i realise that this is a bit strawman, i suspect that those who would defend this specific example are also those who would limit access to other media - violent films, games, porn etc. It's the hypocrisy - I doubt iaink would defend his neighbours putting their home made sex pics through his letter box in quite the same manner.

Sounds painful.
