Exactly. If you really want to make junior high kids think about abortion, why not hand out flyers about safe sex, resources for teen moms, planned parenthood clinics, the dangers of abortion, etc. The shock value in these sorts of protests only serves to desensitize people. I think they are defeating their own purpose. It's possible that I care less about fur in China now.
