I read an article that represents the one time we’ve gone public with our thoughts about one of the most divisive topics within the pro-life movement. Every single one of our staff has personally seen people change their minds because of graphic abortion images, and yet we don’t put them on signs.

In this piece I show why such claims are completely unjustified by analyzing culpability and what it means to incite violence.
