Dawn Eden launches a photo caption contest.
NARAL’s "I Am Pro-Choice America" campaign. Go to its home page and you will find dreadfully earnest-looking images of women in various states of defiance, each displaying NARAL’s "I Am Pro-Choice America" sign in he office cubicle. It’s intended to protest President Bush’s inauguration and celebrate the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.
NARAL’s page has pictures of various women holding these signs including one pregnant women – who must still be pregnant with a choice. If this choice survives it’s mother’s choice and passes into the realm of wantedness and not at an inconvenient time I am sure that child is happy to know that it is one the survivors in womb roulette.
Here is an example of one of the pictures.
In the past I have been willing to offer my services to NARAL and this time is no exception. I didn’t think their collection of photo’s was inclusive enough since they were all women so I dug around to find this picture.
Updated: I modified my picture to remove the obviously military cemetery in the background for another background instead. A commenter on Dawn’s blog objected to the use of the military cemetery for the honored dead. In other news read the story about of one of NARAL’s lawyers contacting Dawn Eden about the use of one of their photos on her site. I also updated my site to only link to one of those pictures instead of displaying it.
Updated: Yet again I updated the background. I was not quite pleased with the background because of the proportion between the head stones and the reaper. To be even more symbolic I used a very appropriate background. In my diocese once a year at the site of the first Mass in the U.S. at the Mission of Nombre de Dios in St. Augustine 4,500 hundred crosses are placed to signify the number of children aborted each day. I previously did a post on this when this site was vandalized by uprooting the crosses and placing wire coat hangers in place.

You, sir, are a genius.
Yes, isn’t he?
Jeff, surely NARAL’s got a stock photo of King Herod they could pose with one of those posters.
And what difference does it make that the office staff of NARAL is pro-choice? I thought the point was to get women who don’t work for NARAL involved.
Lastly, it’s belaboring the obvious but I’ll point out that these women ought to be holding signs that say “I’m Pro-Choice America (And Glad that My Mother Wasn’t!)”
Yours should be on a billboard.
The picture you found is more like it!!
That’s awesome! Trackback:

Send that one in to NARAL! I sent mine.
Golly, I hope they post it!
Super Genius.
I liked the first version better.
The large number of graves and the faraway shot that made the crosses look really small made it clearer that it was talking about abortion.
Still great though.
The latest version is perfect (insofar as human hands could make a perfect thing [sorry, Catholic geek talking]). The second version lost its impact with the large, Victorian headstones. This captures it.
Too bad we need to capture it.
Yes, this latest version is good.
What you need is a shot of Life Dynamics’ Tombstone Project poster, with “I Am Prochoice America” on it.
Abortion laws don’t kill women — abortionists do!
