These guys are everywhere!

It seems that CBR Maryland’s presence is becoming well known in the Washington-Baltimore area.  “Jack” recently posted the following on Facebook, next to a photo of our Black Genocide Awareness Project display:

I saw these guys at the March yesterday and they really bothered me - they show up at most big events in DC, like a bloody wet blanket.  Dear Bloody Baby Guys,  I see your oversized panels of blood, guts and tiny human parts at most large gatherings on the Mall and it offends me. But frankly you bore me, and I can’t take you seriously and you all are aggressively annoying and I think, intellectually dishonest.

Unbeknownst to Jack, one of his own Facebook friends was CBR Maryland volunteer David, who responded, instigating the following conversation:

Hi Jack. If you continued down to the second to last sign on the left you would have found me. I didn’t see you there so maybe you didn’t see that at least 6 of our members were women. For the most part people seemed interested, shook my hand, and thanked me for being there.

Jack ——-, August 25:

Dave, I am proud to call you a friend and neighbor! Much love back at ya!  Please answer this, Dave, why the giant gross-out signs? Such a negative presence, I personally don’t like them, but further I can’t imagine they win many to your cause. For every one person you may win I suspect you drive away 20!

I believe that it is important to put a real face on the victims of abortion just as for years we have put a real face on the victims of poverty, war, human trafficking. You know this from Time, Life, and so on. Young people who see these images begin conversations because they are so shocking and then we instantly have another pro-lifer for the rest of her/his life. Never does it work in the reverse unless that person is nuts. 40 years of legal abortion on demand at any stage of fetal development and very little change in public policy because when people say choice they think “reproductive health rights”. The images will help associate “choice” or “right to choose” with the true end product of the wrong choice, a dead baby.

I think that was a great explanation.

Jack’s comments are proof positive that, despite the media blackout, pro-lifers can still succeed in getting their message across to the community.  If it can be done in DC, it can be done anywhere!  If this is what we can do with a mere sixteen volunteers, image what would be possible with a hundred or more!
