LOL@ that picture.
In all seriousness, kids don't really have a say. There aren't any political platforms aimed at children because children do not make their own decisions just yet nor can they vote.
This anti-abortion group has a right to do what it does. It's like a "scared straight" tactic. The only problem is that "scared straight" tactics often have the opposite effect. For example, people will adamently be anti-abortion UNTIL they have to make the decision for themselves. Also, people will view these protestors as fanatics and, particularly children, will be traumatized. Traumatized people often go in the opposite direction than what is desired/expected. Same applies to people who are traumatized by their experiences in organized religion, etc.
