They said it.
“Pain is a factor in life; could an element of pain be a justification for no more abortions? I don’t think so.”
Anne-Marie Keary, head of Britain’s National Abortion Campaign, explaining why the fact that unborn babies feel pain should not be a reason to oppose abortion
Sue Brattle. “Can a Foetus Feel Pain?” London Daily Express, August 6, 1996, pages 25 and 26.
“…if those 1.21 million abortions [performed every year] represent only the women who could access abortion financially, geographically or otherwise, then that number is too low. Yes, too low. If that’s the case, then what is an appropriate response? How do we best support women and their reproductive health? Do we dare admit that increasing the number of abortions might be not only good for women’s health, but also moral and just?…. We say we care about women and want them to have access to all the information, services and resources necessary to make the best decisions they can for themselves and their families. That is at the core of reproductive justice. Not reducing the number of abortions. Safe – yes. Legal– absolutely. Rare – not the point.”

Share on FacebookFrom a publication of the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights, on pictures of aborted babies:
You’ve probably seen the garish brochures that anti-choice organizations hand out. The pictures in those brochures are designed to shock you and they do! They are designed to keep you from thinking seriously about the real issue. Sadly, they often do. THE REAL ISSUE IS FREEDOM!
‘Religious’ Coalition for Abortion Rights (RCAR) brochure entitled “RCAR has no pictures in this brochure. You can’t take a picture of freedom.”
The pro-choice group is attempting to dodge the issue. Pictures of aborted babies, like the one below, show the humanity of the unborn child.
Jodi Jacobson Tweeted on February 24 2014 about the horrors of animal abuse. She was referring to a a picture and article that was tweeted claiming that puppies in Korea were boiled alive while being prepared to be eaten.
“What? What’s this? They were boiled alive? Seriously? This is horrific.”
And yet, in another post, she praised late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller.
“Dr. Tiller was one of the few doctors providing late-term abortions to people in need in part because he was a commited, ethical, moral medical professional who took seriously his oath to serve the best interests of his patients, and because he was dedicated to supporting women’s rights even at the risk of his own life and even under unimaginable daily pressure and threat.”
Jodi Jacobson “Late Abortions: Facts, Stories, and Ways to Help” RH Reality Check June 2, 2009
Dr. Tiller did abortions in the third trimester, sometimes weeks before the baby was supposed to be born. He poisoned the baby by injecting toxic digoxin into the baby’s heart. He then burned the dead babies in a full-size crematoriam. Earlier pregnancies, where the baby was in the second trimester, were done by dismemberment.
Apparently, killing puppies as heartsickening but killing babies is perfectly okay.
From pro-life writer Randy Alcorn:
“A radio talk show host told me she was offended that some people called her “pro-abortion” instead of “pro-choice.” I asked her, on the air, “Why don’t you want to be called pro-abortion? Is there something wrong with abortion?” She responded, “Abortion is tough. It’s not like anybody really wants one.” I said, “I don’t get it. What makes it tough? Why wouldn’t someone want an abortion?” She said, suddenly impassioned, “Well, you know, it’s a tough thing to kill your baby!”
The second she said it, she caught herself, but it was too late. In an unguarded moment she’d revealed what she knew, what everyone knows if they’ll only admit it: Abortion is difficult for the same reason it’s wrong—because it’s killing a child.
Randy Alcorn Why Pro-Life? Caring for the Unborn and Their Mothers (Hendrickson Publishers, 2011) 95
An article in the Los Angeles times profiles abortionist Dr. William Harrison, and describe some of his patients. One young woman coming in for an abortion is described this way:
His first patient of the day, Sarah, 23, says it never occurred to her to use birth control, though she has been sexually active for six years. When she became pregnant this fall, Sarah, who works in real estate, was in the midst of planning her wedding. “I don’t think my dress would have fit with a baby in there,” she says.

Share on FacebookAdoption is often portrayed negatively in pro-choice literature. Pro-choice advocates Carole Anderson and Lee Campbell say of adoption,
“The unnecessary separation of mothers and children is a cruel, but regrettably usual, punishment that can last a lifetime.”
Cited by Charmaine Yoest, “Why Is Adoption So Difficult?” Focus on the Family Citizen, 17 December 1990, 10. Quoted by Randy Alcorn.
If adoption is “cruel”and a “punishment” then what is abortion? Abortion result of the tearing apart of an unborn baby like the one below. The picture underneath is that of a child aborted at the same age. We can see clearly that abortion is in fact cruel punishment, not adoption which gives the baby is chance at life and a childless couple or individual a chance to fulfill their dream of becoming parents.

Pro-choice groups and individuals often try to discredit the pictures that pro-lifers show of mutilated children who were aborted. Naomi Wolf, a pro-choice feminist, admits that the pictures are real and takes other feminists to task for trying to discredit them:
“To many pro-choice advocates, the imagery is revolting propaganda. There is a sense among us, let us be frank, that the gruesomeness of the imagery belongs to the pro-lifers… that it represents the violence of imaginations that would, given half a chance, turn our world into a scary, repressive place. “People like us” see such material as the pornography of the pro-life movement. But feminism at its best is based on what is simply true…. While images of violent fetal death work magnificently for pro-lifers as political polemic, the pictures are not polemical in themselves: they are biological facts. We know this.”
Naomi Wolf, “Our Bodies, Our Souls,” The New Republic, October 16, 1995
She is referring to pictures like the one below, which shows part of the remains a seven-week-old aborted child. These pictures are difficult to look at, but of one many people over to the pro-life movement. And even pro-choice activists to of seen them and dismiss them cannot deny their effectiveness.
Kay Bellevue, who started an abortion clinic in Fargo:
“I have always acted on what to me are Judeo-Christian principles. The 10 Commandments plus love thy neighbor.… It’s very distressing to me that [people,] particularly the people opposed to abortion, will attempt to say their moral beliefs are the only correct ones… I think pro-choice people have a very strong basis in theology for the caring, loving perspective they have on abortion as do the antiabortion people have a basis in theology for their strong, loving caring perspective about the fetus.”
Quoted in Faye D Ginsburg Contested Lives: the Abortion Debate in an American Community (Berkeley and Los Angeles California: University of California Press, 1989) 151
You saw a picture of a baby in the womb at 12 weeks captured on sonogram. Below is a picture of what happens to a baby this age when “loving, caring” abortion providers do their work:
Pro-lifer John Jansen put together the following series of images showing screenshots of pro-choice activists saying that they “love” abortion. This is not the “safe, legal, and rare” that politicians talk about – this is pure proabortion rhetoric.
First, a graphic which has been making the rounds on Facebook:
Now some more screenshots from around the net:
Now here are some pictures of the things that these pro-choice activists “love”
