Graphic photos can help stop abortions

In Amy Principi's letter Aug. 17 ("It's wrong to show abortion photos"), she used the example of "arson is evil, but photos of burned bodies aren't put on posters on the street corner to dissuade arsonists."

But what about medical students who see the abortion photos. I doubt they would be encouraged to want to do abortions for a living.

Or woman who would see what will happen to their babies, when the baby could be adopted by one of the 18,000 families on the waiting list in Illinois.
