I know Patrick Mahoney, although I haven't seen him in years. He's an Evangelical Minister working in Washington and a Democrat. He's a promoter of the consistent ethic of life and has been involved in pro-life activism for decades. I picked up the quote off the Consistent Ethic of Life weekly email.
Quotation of the Week
Patrick Mahoney (on Facebook, July 1, 2016)
Sharing this by way of observation and food for thought. I know there has been much discussion in the pro-life community about the use of graphic victim imagery. Over the past few months, I have been building relationships with well-known progressive leaders who are strongly pro-choice. As we discussed the issue of gun violence, they suggested that we get permission to show pictures of the "victims" of gun violence around the nation. When I asked why, they replied our showing the victims of abortion across the nation had been so powerful in addressing abortion they wanted to achieve the same results on the issue of gun violence.
Yes that makes sense. "One picture worth a thousand words …"
