Community Demands More Dead Baby Photos |

A rare snapshot of Planned Parenthood sans dead baby photos
|
MOUNT AUBURN - Local abortion activists protested somewhere other than Planned Parenthood for a change this week, while City Hall prepared to limit the number of dead babies one individual can display, from 1000 down to a paltry 4 dead babies per activist.
This week, several community activists demanded that city council allow "as many dead baby photos as possible" to be displayed in front of the Planned Parenthood in Mount Auburn.
"How are only 4 dead babies going to change a pregnant woman's mind?" said activist Dale Randall, "Everyone knows you need hundreds of pictures of dead babies in order to make an informed decision about abortion."
"I know that these protesters are making some kind of statement about abortion," said local realtor Rebecca Mills, "But what does that have to do with photos of miscarriages and stillbirths?"
Protesters claim that the dead baby photos have already had quite a positive impact on the community. For example, local homemaker Suzy Squinton's doctor had warned that her pregnancy was threatening her life, and would probably end in a stillbirth. Squinton had resisted getting an abortion, until she saw over 600 dead baby photos displayed on Auburn Avenue.
"Just a few pictures of stillbirths and miscarriages probably wouldn't have been enough to convince me to abort," said Squinton, "Thanks to the hundreds of dead baby photos that these nice men displayed, I decided that the right decision was to abort early rather than face a horrible stillbirth."
Many others await city council's decision, fearing the impact that less dead baby photos could have on the community.
