 The graphic image Romalis saw in-person was something abortion advocates knew would help sway public opinion, and policy, in their favour. In 1964, an American woman, Gerri Twerdy Santoro, was found dead as a result of a self-induced illegal abortion. She was only 28 years old and had two other children. Fearing her abusive estranged husband would kill her if he discovered she was pregnant by another man, she and her boyfriend aborted their pre-born child. In the process, she herself died and was found lying face down in a pool of blood. The photograph of this horrific site first appeared in MS Magazine in April 1973.(("Gerry Twerdy Santoro," lifeandlibertyforwomen.org/gerri_twerdy_santoro.html.)) It has since been used by the pro-abortion movement as a tool to make their case for why abortion should remain legal. {{ :utsfl:classroom:seminars:abortion_victim_woman.jpg?200|}} The graphic image Romalis saw in-person was something abortion advocates knew would help sway public opinion, and policy, in their favour.

 ===== Refugee Crisis ===== ===== Refugee Crisis =====
  
-From [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Alan_Kurdi|Wikipedia]]: Alan Kurdi was a three-year-old Syrian boy of Kurdish ethnic background whose image made global headlines after he drowned on 2 September 2015 in the Mediterranean Sea. He and his family were Syrian refugees trying to reach Europe amid the European refugee crisis. Photographs of his lifeless body were taken by Turkish journalist Nilüfer Demir and quickly spread around the world, prompting international responses. Because Kurdî's family had reportedly been trying to reach Canada, his death and the wider refugee crisis immediately became an issue in the 2015 Canadian federal election. +==== Syrian Refugee Crisis ====
  
-Alan Kurdi's aunt Tima Kurdi: "It was something about that picture, God put the light on that picture to wake up the world."+The war in Syria, and its resulting refugee crisis, has been going on since March 2011. By 2015, around 220,000 people had been killed and around 6.6 million people had been displaced.  
 +    * countries knew it was happening but no one doing anything; majority of the public didn’t know/care 
 +    * wasn't until Sept. 2015 when a Syrian boy by the name of Alan Kurdi, 3 yrs old, washed ashore on the Mediterranean sea, when consciousness awakened to the fact that something had to be done 
  
 +> "There was nothing left to do for him. There was nothing left to bring him back to life. I thought, This is the only way I can express the scream of his silent body." - Nilüfer Demir, photographer
 +
 +  * The pressure on governments to address the refugee crisis skyrocketed. The refugee crisis became a central issue in the Canadian election, since Kurdi's family were denied refugee status there((http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/photo-of-alan-kurdi-had-disproportionate-effect-on-canada-observers-1.3054565)). The public backlash spurred other world leaders, such as Barack Obama and Angela Merkel, to pledge to bring more Syrian refugees to their countries((https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2015/12/26/10-things-that-have-changed-since-alan-kurdis-photo-shocked-the-world.html)). Though people may disagree on the best way to address the crisis, that one image spurred millions of people to demand action.

 +"[The] image whipped around social media within hours, accumulating potency with every share. News organizations were compelled to publish it—or publicly defend their decision not to. And European governments were suddenly compelled to open closed frontiers. **Within a week, trainloads of Syrians were arriving in Germany to cheers**, as a war lamented but not felt suddenly brimmed with emotions unlocked by a picture of one small, still form." - Time magazine((http://100photos.time.com/photos/nilufer-demir-alan-kurdi))

 The Texas Department of Transportation uses the story and image of a woman named Jacqueline Saburido to convey the dangers of drinking and driving. In 1999, a drunk driver collided with the vehicle she was in. A fire broke out when Jacqueline was pinned in the front seat of the car. She was inflicted with burns on over 60% of her body. She lost her hair, ears, nose, left eyelid, much of her vision, and her fingers had to be amputated.(("Jacqui’s Story," available from texasdwi.org/jacqui.html, viewed online February 8, 2007.)) Her story is a disturbing one, but it conveys an important lesson: some people’s "choices" have a devastating effect on other people’s lives.  The Texas Department of Transportation uses the story and image of a woman named Jacqueline Saburido to convey the dangers of drinking and driving.
