The Catholic Group Durchblick sent out 150.000 plastic embroys (~ 10 weeks old) to German citizens via mail, in order to protest abortion. Or as a member of the organisation says, as “educational measure”; another 150.000 will be posted in the next days.
A speaker of Bistum Trier (Catholic Church) announced that they find the campaign “provocative”, but “don’t see any reason to disapprove of it”.
Imagine you were forced to abort your unborn child due to medical reasons. Or imagine you had a stillbirth. Or imagine you decided to abort your child for any other reason, really.
How very jolly to open your mail and find a plastic embroy. I think it’s a great and completely adequate form of “education” – very well done.
You can find a ZDF-report (1:34 minutes) on blokster, and further information on the website of Saarbrücker Zeitung.
I wonder how people would react if I would send out 300.000 plastic figurines of priests abusing children sexually as “educational measure”. How very constructive, helpful and reasonable.

How sad and stupid. Like stopping the involvement into the counselling of mothers in need. Stupid, self-centred and sad.

Where did they get the mail addresses of 300,000 people? Unwarranted advertisements in the mail are a breach of German customer protection law …

there could be enough people who would carry out the mail for free? not sure.
