Graphic anti-abortion imagery: effective or not?

Stephanie Gray from the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical reform 6:25

Stephanie Gray wants to shock you.

She's the co-founder and executive director of the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform, an "educational pro-life organization" that has been holding graphic demonstrations in Hamilton for the last two weeks.

She says the group is two years into an 18-year campaign to "convey the true horror" of abortion when "words are insufficient."

Demonstrators from the CCBR have been busy — going door to door and leaving graphic door hangers on Hamilton homes, stringing a banner with a picture of an aborted fetus across the Linc, and staging demonstrations outside Hamilton schools.

Some Hamiltonians have taken issue with the group's methods, calling them "inappropriate," at best and "graphic and disturbing" at worst.

CBC Hamilton is hosting a live chat with Gray this Monday at noon to discuss the CCBR's tactics. Log in just before noon to join the debate.
