The August 9, 2010 issue of TIME Magazine defends the use of graphic images in showing the brutality of the Taliban in their treatment of women. Interestingly, TIME makes a case for children seeing these images as well.
The Center for Bioethical Reform makes the case that photos of abortion also need to be seen to understand the brutality of abortion. "Why does TIME or any other mainstream magazine have a double standard when it comes to showing abortion in their publications? Americans are not complicit in, or complacent towards the mangling of women, but they are responsible for millions of abortion deaths. Few Americans will defend the type of injustice visited on Afghan women by the Taliban, but millions of Americans are killing their children and TIME doesn’t want to offend that portion of their readership who support abortion."
