It was a good speech, as far as hollow political speeches go.

What a boring piece of useless crap.

And that goes for the protesters too.

Dude, it's a commencement address.  Bush gave mine, and it was awful.

While I, too, find the use of images of aborted babies disturbing and counterproductive, I do find it hilarious when Pro Choicers complain about "grisly" images. That must take a lot of balls.

It takes balls to be offended by a naked appeal to emotion?

This post proves my point.

Complain about seeing the image but not about the actual procedure.  Roll Eyes

You misunderstand me, I think.  I'm not offended by the pictures or complaining about seeing them.  I disagree with attempts to use my emotions against me, effective or not.  Intellectual appeals are superior to emotional ones, no?

If it's counterproductive, why use it?

I personally believe it's counterproductive. I'm not defending its use. That being said, my only point here was that it's ridiculous to complain about the grisly images used in protest while not caring about the grisly images that take place during the procedure.

Fair enough.
