Controversy - A photographer's Opinion

One of the controversies of becoming a photographer is realizing that a single photo can speak volumes,  raise questions and stir discussion/debate.  Upon a recent adventure to Wyoming, we arrived in Casper to discover this silent, yet stirring display relating to abortion, which was on the private property of the local catholic church.  The message was concise and to the point.  Whatever your opinion towards this delicate topic, the responsibility of the photographer is to step outside his/her own opinion, and capture the passion of the subject.  Whether pro-life or pro-abortion, the camera lens sees only the reflection of events at hand.  While my wife and I were emotionally moved by this gracious and powerful scene; we were pleased by the sight for freedom of speech and how it is respected in a small cowboy town.  The question begs for an answer - How long would this silent protest last in your town before someone marred the message?
