charliebaby`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Regardless on your stance on abortion, do you support Pro-Life organisations using provocative advertising in public places?
(Other poll by charliebaby, 700 days ago)
No, their propaganda should not be allowed to be thrust down your throat, and most definitely should NOT have graphic images in public places
Yes, regardless of the graphic nature of the advertising material, the general public should see controversial images to highlight the Pro-Life campaign
I don't think it should be banned entirely but should most definitely NOT contain graphic images in public places

I hate ANY propaganda like this being shoved down my throat, regardless of the issue. I do think that women who go to abortion clinics should be independently counselled and given the facts, not bullied into making a life decision based on gorey photographs - and these photos certainly shouldn`t be in public places.

I am all for them! Without them woman/ young girls would keep doing them! I had no clue how risky/ ugly abortion truely was until I saw a poster for it! It is not something to take lightly....like lots of people do. I do not think school zones are the best place for them....Maybe Highschool area for sure and colleges...But not near a gradeschool

Wrong, wrong wrong. If you`re against homosexuals are you going to march around a poster of two men graphically having sex? What gets me is that there is no proof that the pictures on the billboards are what they say they are. If I look up miscarriage and DNC you get the exact same images. I would think that their respect for life would prevent them from showing that life in it`s worst moment and perhaps hold up a poster of a smiling cute baby.

Yeah but a friend brought up a good point, thanks to the ad, she was forced to explain what an abortion was to her very inquisitive 5 year old son... No parent appreciates being put in a position like that.

I don`t think it`s right either...but it gets people talking which is probably the main reason for the ad campaign.

charliebaby (700 days ago)
We have a State election this weekend and the Pro-Life party have quite distasteful advertisements on main roads/highways and also in areas where children see them, ie around schools. Whilst I understand they have a passionate view on this topic, I don`t think it`s appropriate to have pro-life posters plastered on every street corner and most definitely not around school zones. In fact, I would go so far as saying that their campaign has actually achieved the opposite of what they intended. People are up in arms, not about what they`re saying, but the inappropriate nature of their material.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
