Genocide Awareness Project (GAP)
GAP is a display of images of babies aborted during various stages of pregnancy, including first trimester and second trimester babies. Shown alongside these pictures are photos of lynched African American slaves, Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust, and victims of other genocides, to show the similarities between those killings and abortion.
Abortion advocate Naomi Wolf wrote:
"The pro-choice movement often treats with contempt the pro-lifers' practice of holding up to our faces their disturbing graphics...[But] how can we charge that it is vile and repulsive for pro-lifers to brandish vile and repulsive images if the images are real? To insist that truth is in poor taste is the very height of hypocrisy. Besides, if these images are often the facts of the matter, and if we then claim that it is offensive for pro-choice women to be confronted by them, then we are making the judgment that women are too inherently weak to face a truth about which they must make a grave decision. This view is unworthy of feminism." ("Our Bodies, Our Souls", New Republic, October 16, 1996)
For another perspective on similar methods of resisting social injustices like abortion, read Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter From Birmingham Jail (pdf).
