I didn't call it a stunt to belittle it, I called it a stunt to belittle the person that pulled it. As I said these people are demented and have no business being public servants.
As an aside, I think that the pro-life movement is one of the few on the right that (by their nature) has had to not only take leftism seriously, but has had to accept and understand exactly how evil leftism is, and still goes about fighting it (often, if not always, successfully) through essentially entirely peaceful means. I don't know whether I'd consider that to be the best solution (after all, if abortion is murder, and you know who the murderers are, allowing them to continue to murder is morally questionable), but it is one of the few things that could possibly convince me that there is a political solution to our current societal problems, at least at some scale. You aren't going to reprogram the demented left overnight, or even in a generation, but you might be able to take away some of their institutional power, and perhaps convince others of their evil by forcing them to publicly state such demented positions.
