One could reasonably assume that all Americans – and civil rights groups in particular – would oppose targeting any human being for death based simply on her gender or race. Sadly, in the face of abortion, we can no longer make reasonable assumptions.

These all could be good points of approach in any attempt to wake people from every political persuasion to stop and look at the realities and perversities of abortion. Unfortunately all of these methods have been attempted and plainly articulated ad nauseam for decades, and the numbers of dead babies keep spiking annually.
