Making the other side look bad is a full-time job for demagogues and spinsters. However photos like this sure make their job easier. Millions of pro-lifers are currently cringing at this image of a seemingly possessed woman and her mullet getting carted off to jail. The crazed eyes, the t-shirt and turtleneck combo, the unkempt hockey cut, the mouth that appears to be in the middle of the sentence, "You're all going to Hell! Hell!"
In the meantime, the other side of the debate is saying, "Well done, Chip Somodevilla of Getty Images. Your photo says what would normally take seven to nine sentences." And yes, that's what a picture is worth these days in an A.D.D. world. Pictures are down considerably from a thousand words.
Regardless of your position on abortion, we can all agree that this point goes to Pro-choice. In the meantime, Pro-lifers are planning a counter attack by staging a photo of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wearing a Pro Choice fleece pullover while holding a pitch fork and a one hitter.
