Abortion Video: The Reality of “Choice”

This video shows the reality of abortion contrasted with the rhetoric of “choice.”

What you have just seen is a late term abortion. In America, these abortions are legal in many US states. The baby aborted in the pictures seems to be between 20 and 24 weeks old.

However, earlier abortions are no less gruesome.

Here is a picture of an unborn baby at six weeks. The vast majority of abortions take place at this time or later. In fact, most abortions take place between 7 and 11 weeks.

Here are some pictures from The Endowment for Human Development. this site is not affiliated with the pro-life movement. It is an educational site.

Here are some pictures of what these babies look like after abortion.

Abortions at the stages above are legal in every US state, in Canada, in Great Britain, and in many other countries.

In the video, you saw a baby taken out more or less intact. However, many late term abortions dismember the child. here are a few.

First, see how it’s done.

Read about how the baby above was discovered inside an abortion clinic.

In some US states, such as New Jersey, abortions at this stage (around eight months) are legal for any reason. In other states, there are laws restricting them this late. However, the Supreme Court in Doe vs Bolton (a little known companion case to Roe Vs. Wade) determined that abortions in the third trimester had to be allowed if a woman’s “health” was endangered. They specified that emotional health was included in the definition. Therefore, in most cases, all a woman has to do to get an abortion this late is maintain that aborting the baby is needed for her emotional “health.”

Above; Add from clinic doing abortions up to 28 weeks.

What do you think? should these abortions be legal? Why or why not? Would have an abortion this late? Add your comments below and join the discussion.

Thinking of having an abortion? Want to talk to someone? Go here or dial 1 800 395 HELP.All calls confidential. For a directory of pregnancy centers that can help you, worldwide, go here. and if for whatever reason they can’t help you, you can also try this directory.

Birthright is another excellent organization that helps women considering abortion. They have many centers throughout the world. They are not affiliated with any religion. I called them once. When I told them I was pro-life, they made a point to tell me they were “not political” They will not try to sway your decision.

If you have had an abortion and need support, here are some links for you to try.

Note: if you have come here considering an abortion, please consider reading some of the stories of women who have had them. Go to Women’s Stories section.

In addition, every woman has a right to know the risks of any type of surgery. Abortion clinics and organizations such as Planned Parenthood make a great deal of money off of performing abortions. They may not always give accurate information about abortion’s risks.

A number of studies have been done over the past thirty years. Many of these studies have appeared in very highly respected medical journals.

For example, a study in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, in 2006 found that an abortion raises the risk of a future miscarriage by 60%.

Researchers say this is due to the fact that forced dilation can weaken the cervix, which may cause it to give way in future pregnancies, as well as the possibility of uterine scarring. For the same reasons, other studies have shown that ectopic (or tubal) pregnancies and premature births in future pregnancy are also more common among women who have had abortions. Premature birth can cause disabilities in future children.

In addition, a study in Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners recorded that one in ten abortion patients faces immediate complications after surgery, with one fifth of those being life-threatening.

Several studies have linked abortion to problems in relationships. For example, one study in The Journal of Public Health.

See studies here

In another study that appeared in International Review of Family Planning (Vincent M. Rue “Abortion in Relationship Context” International Review of Natural Family Planning Summer 1985 p 105) 70% of relationships ended within six months of a woman’s abortion.

Note: Some Pictures are labeled by fetal age. In an abortion clinic, length of pregnancy may be determined by the time since the woman’s last menstrual period (LMP) However, conception occurs two weeks after the period ends. Therefore, the age of the unborn baby is two weeks less than the stated time of pregnancy.

Express your feelings about these pictures and about abortion. post a comment.

Book Unnatural Selection Documents Sex Selection Terminations

In an article on sex-selection abortion:

“As Mara Hvistendahl points out in her excellent book “Unnatural Selection,” birth ratios for Asian-Americans of varying socioeconomic statuses and citizenship status (both citizens and recent immigrants) have skewed sex ratios that get only worse with subsequent pregnancies, a sign that women will abort to have boys even away from China’s barbaric one-child policy. “

Rachael Larimore “How far apart we are on abortion” The Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, VA) June 2, 2012

This shows that sex selection abortions, despite what pro-choice activists say, do take place in the United States. Note: Sex selection abortions are by definition late term abortions because the gender of a fetus cannot be discerned until the 18-20th week, at the earliest.

Abortion Clinic Baptizes Dead Babies

Director of nursing at an abortion clinic:

“… When it’s a big fetus, you will hear them asking a lot of questions: “is it a boy or is it a girl?”, “Will it be baptized?” We’ve had many requests for that too. We do it, it doesn’t mean a thing. But if it rests somebody’s peace of mind, you baptize a fetus. I mean for the psychological effect. It’s not recognized by the church, how can you murder a fetus and then baptize it? I feel if it makes the woman happy, why not? If it satisfies her psychological hangup, whatever it is.… Anything under 24 weeks goes for the incinerators. They ask you what you’re going to do with the fetus, you can’t say incinerate it. I tell them it goes to city burials.”

Germaine Greer on Choice

Feminist GERMAINE GREER:

“So far it has been assumed that the only pregnancies which are aborted are accidental ones and the only foetuses destroyed those whose mothers could not bear the thought of their becoming children. In a just world this would be the case, but the world is far from just. Too many women are forced to abort by poverty, by their menfolk, by their parents. Poverty has many faces; it may be the poverty of the young, the unmarried, the student, the unemployed, the female or a combination of these.”

Mother Sees Her Unborn Baby for the First Time an Ultrasound

A married woman who became pregnant at age 39 after she had already had all the children she wanted weighed the abortion decision and decided she would probably keep the baby. But:

“Unfortunately, she says, her maternal instincts did not respond to reason: when a young friend placed her baby in her arms, she found herself looking with distaste into “a little scrunched face inspiring no tenderness, only intense tedium at the thought of tending him. What was I going to do with the baby I couldn’t return to his mother?” She arranged to have amniocentesis once they got to England, though she was not sure – despite her reservations – what it would cost her emotionally to have an abortion if something were wrong. When told she had as much chance of having a miscarriage from the amniocentesis as she did, at her age, of having a Down syndrome child, she hoped for the miscarriage: “That is until, lying on the table where the procedure was to take place, I saw the ultrasound scan on a television monitor above me reveal the perfectly shaped head of the child I carried. I wanted that baby!”

Number of Abortions: Legal Vs. Illegal

Many pro-choice activists say that abortion has always been with us. They are right. But the numbers of abortions being performed today, in the legal era, are MUCH greater than the number of abortions that were being performed before abortion became legal. Surveys say that over 70% of all women would not even consider abortion if it was illegal.

To combat the pro-choicers who say that abortion was always common in the United State, look at the following statistics:

A well known study estimates the number of illegal abortions prior to 1967 range from 39,000 in 1950 to 210,000 in 1961, with a mean of 98,000.”

Barbara Syska, Thomas Hilgers, and Dennis O’Hare “An Objective Model for Estimating Criminal Abortions and Its Implications for Public Policy” In New Perspectives on Human Abortion edited by Thomas Hilgers, M.D., Dennis J Horan, and David Mall (Frederick, M.D.: University publications of America, 1981) 178

Within seven years of Roe versus Wade, legal abortions jumped to 1.2 million a year. In 2012, there were over a million abortions.

Pro-Choice Woman Horrified at Abortion Film

Julia Black Is a British Pro-Choice Activist Who Made a Film Entitled “My Fetus” which recorded abortions in progress. It is usually pro-lifers who want to show the world how bad abortion is by showing the actual procedures. In this case, the maker of the film is pro-choice and she’s trying to desensitize viewers and defend abortion.

The film shows graphic pictures of aborted babies.

According to an article about the documentary:

“The film is apparently staggering in its emotional impact. One pro-abortion journalist, Lauren Booth of the Daily Telegraph (London),who has herself had an abortion, watched the documentary and wasstunned. “My hand flew to my mouth in shock,” she said. “I swallowed. I didn’t want to say it, but the word `murder’ came to my lips.”

Black said that she made the film:

“[to] “reclaim the most powerful weapon the anti-abortion groups currently have – the fetus and the baby.”

Catherine Weiss, Head of the Reproductive Freedom Project, Defines Abortion

On legislation banning partial birth abortion, which is a technique of abortion where the baby is delivered up to the head and killed partially outside of the woman’s body:

“The elements of this crime are the elements of abortions, namely that the fetus comes out through the vagina and is killed. That’s what an abortion is.”

Catherine Weiss, head of the Reproductive Freedom Project of the American Civil Liberties Union

Melanie Conklin, “Lights out on Abortion,” The Progressive July 1998

There is no doubt that abortion kills a “fetus.” A fetus is merely a human being in an early stage of development.
