Graphic anti-abortion ad to air on Kelowna TV station — controversy expected

...well duh:

"A graphic anti-abortion ad featuring images of the severed body part of a fetus is set to run Monday on a Kelowna television station. The 60-second ad, titled “Everyone Against Abortion, Please Raise Your Hand,” depicts an image of an adult hand holding the severed hand of a fetus… Marlon Bartram, executive director of Kelowna Right to Life, said he was told the body part came from a Texas abortion clinic."

Found over at Ish's blog, who has this to say:

Putting aside for the moment the hideousness of this prospect, is anyone else perplexed by the ethics of an organization that is horrified by the idea of “killing babies” but doesn’t have a problem mutilating the corpses of those dead “babies” in question for the purpose of shock advertising?

I mean, it’s a little hard to get behind the premise that they really care about human rights and the lives of “innocent babies” when they’re chopping up their bodies for a TV spot.
