CBR Prepares to Sue Pro-Aborts who Falsely Accuse us of "Photo Fraud"

Dr. Moore has also published a popular text entitled The Developing Human, Clinically Oriented Embryology, Keith L. Moore & T.V.N. Perasud, 6th Edition, (Copyright 1998 by W.B. Saunders) which can be used for aging unborn babies by turning to page 91 (see also, tables on pages 4 through 7).

We don't ask anyone to take our word for anything. Doubters can dial-up our Website and hold these textbook illustrations next to the corresponding photos on our GAP signs. When measuring our images, bear in mind that many of the first trimester aborted babies we show have been torn apart by the termination procedure. The shredded pieces of their bodies have only been loosely reassembled for photographic purposes. Abortion stretches, tears and otherwise distorts the soft tissue of these very small unborn babies.

Of course, no amount of evidence will satisfy dogmatic pro-aborts. They wouldn't acknowledge the legitimacy of any abortion photos, even if they took the pictures themselves -- of abortions performed in their very presence. But for sincere questioners, those who inquire in good faith, the foregoing sources will quiet every reasonable concern.

We are sometimes asked how and from what sources we have compiled our huge library (perhaps the largest in the world) of aborted baby photos and video. Understandably, the terms of our acquisition agreements prohibit the disclosure of that information. If we must divulge this information pursuant to the lawsuits we are preparing, we will do so "in camera," which means in a judge"s chambers, off the record, so the information will be sealed and never made public. It doesn't take much analytical ability to guess why. We are prepared, however, to say that we reject civil disobedience on tactical grounds (and violence on moral grounds) so we use only lawful means to acquire imagery.

A partial analogy may be useful in explaining the lengths to which we go to obtain and use these shocking pictures. The July 24/July 31, 2000 issue of U.S. News & World Report published the following account of World War II espionage:

Jan Karski never stormed a beach or flew an Allied airplane but he was one of World War II's great heroes. Disguised as a Nazi guard, the Polish courier [a member of the Jewish underground] sneaked into the Izbica death camp, then made a perilous journey to London to tell of the mass tortures and killing he had seen. He died last week at 86.

Newsweek, July 24, 2000, reported that Mr. Karski delivered to the Allies the "first eyewitness accounts" of the Holocaust but that his tale of horror was so sickening "Few could believe what he reported." Before CBR began using photos, we had the same problem convincing people that abortion is indescribably horrific.

CBR doesn't "sneak" into abortion clinics but in a certain sense, the parallels between our work and that of Jan Karski are considerable. There was massive denial about the Holocaust among the Allies at the start of World War II and many would not allow themselves to believe that anything so monstrous could actually be happening. The same is true of abortion today. Unfortunately, Mr. Karski couldn't use a camera to make his astonishing accounts more credible. The April 3, 1995 edition of U.S. News & World Report, however, described the enormous difference a Holocaust photo could make: "Many GIs [who helped liberate the death camps] carried Kodaks and …Leicas, snapping scenes of horror like rookie police photographers. Without photographic proof, who would believe their tales?" The article goes on to report that:

The Post-Dispatch and the Washington Evening Star [newspapers] hurriedly assembled an exhibit of camp-atrocity photos entitled 'Lest We Forget.' Before moving to Boston and cities in the Midwest, the 12-foot-high photo-murals debuted at the Library of Congress. During the exhibit's three steamy summer weeks in Washington, almost 90,000 Americans turned out to gape.

This death-camp display sounds much like CBR's Genocide Awareness Project. It is unlikely, however, that a Holocaust photo essay would have drawn many spectators had the exhibit toured post-war Germany. Germans of a certain age still recoil from the sight of extermination photos. Americans with certain backgrounds are particularly averse to seeing abortion pictures.
That may also be why citizens of both countries sometimes cry "fake" in the face of photos which expose their guilt and shame.

In conclusion, we need your help in documenting examples of pro-abortion lies concerning CBR "photo fraud." As you become aware of statements designed to discredit our organization, carefully note them and please pass the information on to us. When the time is right, we will make an example of those who attack the integrity of pro-lifers they know they can"t beat in honest debate.
