Well, I walked by this today. My notes:

Most of the people inside the rings were men. Although I believe that guys have a stake and a right to have an opinion, a woman's opinion weighs more heavily with me on this issue. I'm a guy, and I am pro-choice. If my girl was pregnant, however, we would probably keep the child, no matter how large of trouble it would be. It would still be safe for her to keep it, and so on. I guess I would be a moderate pro-choice, just like most people in the world. On the flip-side, I'll bet there are moderate pro-lifers (who wouldn't want abortions for themselves or their loved ones, and only think people who do are wrong, not actively tell them they are dirty sinners).

The photos are disgusting. But they don't make me violently ill or anything. I chose to look at them. They are the same as always, likening abortion to the holocaust.

Otherwise, it's status quo as far as I know. The problem with making a big deal out of nothing, is that it doesn't get people talking anymore. We're not discussing the issue anymore, all we are discussing is the attention whore pro-lifers. I'm sorry to use such strong language, but since the last display was taken down, I haven't heard anything about the actual abortion issue, and only bitching and moaning.

The free speach argument is moot and invalid. I don't want to go over it again, but this really is not a free speach issue. It's an issue about what the pro-lifers want to interpret free speach as.
