Read about it here. I am not impressed by those who are so irate over photos of abortions, but don’t bat an eye at clinics strategically placed across the country providing the service that results in the photos.

Graphic abortion displays in the Ottawa area

The recent argument put forth by the Canadian Government on the positive moral appropriateness of showing more extreme graphic images of the effects of tobacco on cigarette packaging should be broadcast widely and cited in reference to the ‘debate’ about the appropriateness of showing ‘graphic images’ of abortion.
I totally applaud the efforts of those in this campaign. It is important for people to know and see exactly what they’re actually doing when they have an abortion; however, as a mother with a young child, I’m not impressed at all with the fact that I will have to explain that people have abortions to my extremely inquisitive son. The article made it sound like small children wouldn’t notice, wouldn’t care, wouldn’t find it upsetting and that is simply untrue.
I don’t think that 5 years old is the right age to be learning about abortion and it makes me mad that an activist, no matter how well meaning, are putting me in the position to explain it to my child before I’m ready for him to have that info, simply because we decide to go to the store one day. I feel it’s robbing some of his innocence. With that said though, I also think the largest part of my problem is that I’m not ready for him to know. I think he can 100% handle the info if explained properly, I just don’t want him to know yet that people kill babies before they’re born. I want to shield him from that reality for as long as humanly possible!
I would never bring my child, intentionally to a place where I was exposing him to the hard realities of the world at this tender age. So, although I really do see what the campaign is for and I think it’s necessary that people see it, I think that exposing small children to it is wrong and is very sad. There is a time and a place for all of these things and in front of grocery stores, primary schools, parks, etc. just isn’t the right place.
I think it’s much better suited for highschools (because the children are then old enough to know) and college/university campuses. Perhaps there are other youth/adult events that could be targetted instead.
