From a woman who spoke about prolife issues in schools:
“… We discussed abortion and euthanasia, and I noticed that many of the 8th graders who labeled themselves “pro-choice” were horrified when they learned the truth about these practices. It made me realize how much the “pro-choice” position is against human reason and how much it relies on tired rhetoric to succeed.”

The Lifeline article did not reveal what information Campbell gave to the 8th grader’s, but below are some pictures that show the reality of abortion.

Pro-Life activist Gregg Cunningham, who is known for releasing graphic pictures and videos of aborted babies, provided a video to pregnancy resource centers that showed the remains of abortions.
“Choices Medical Clinic (CMC) a pro-life clinic which CBR helped found in Kansas, shared an encouraging email report with us. They’ve used CBR’s Harder Truth video to save babies since they opened in December 2000. Included in statistics from two years in operation was this tremendous news, “Out of the 1300 patients seen in 2 years, 403 actually said “if this pregnancy test is positive, I’m going to abort” or words to that effect. 335 actually were positive. 15 actually aborted. This is a success rate of 95.7%.”

Share on FacebookFormer abortionists: I was leaving behind an empty shell
From former abortionist Dr. Beverly McMillan:
“… Some of my abortion clinic patients became part of my other private practice. Some were now married and pregnant with “wanted” babies. Others were simply coming back to me for other medical needs or periodic examinations.
Some of these women were now regretting their abortions and experiencing great grief. Others who did not regret their abortions would not discuss them. Even when asked the routine question by a nurse, “Have you ever been pregnant before?” They would reply, “No” – an outright denial of what had occurred… I had gotten involved in abortion because I wanted to help. But instead, while sucking the child out of its mother I was also sucking out the mother’s soul and leaving an empty shell, an empty tomb….
In my experience, at least 90% of aborted women experience guilt and regret to a greater or lesser degree….
I wasn’t helping [the women.] Some of them just came back again. It was like aiding an alcoholic, because they weren’t learning anything. Not only that, they experienced sexual dysfunction in their marriages and ambivalence when they finally had a wanted pregnancy.”

A woman who was raped and decided to have her baby
“… I can honestly say that keeping my daughter was a great decision, and I really enjoy being a mother. Although she was conceived in traumatic circumstances, I came to understand that she had done nothing wrong and was not responsible for the way she came into the world.
Some people have judged me harshly for carrying the child of a rapist; but when I look at my daughter I don’t see the face of my rapist – I see my beautiful daughter, who I love. She is the proof that something good can come from something terrible…”

Abortion clinic was “like a factory”
A woman describes the first two of her four abortions:
“It was this huge clinic; it was so impersonal. It was just like we were moved through like cattle. It was just like a factory there. It was so efficient, and so sterile, and so big. It was like a mass production line…
The second one, I went right away; it was really early. It was the same kind of big Chicago clinic. I remember it being even more efficient, more factory like the second one, and that bothered me more this time.”

Edouard Sakiz, Chairman of Roussel Uclaf, the creators of the abortion pill sometimes called RU-486:
“As abortifacient procedures go, RU-486 is not at all easy to use. In fact it is much more complex to use than the technique of vacuum extraction. True, no anesthetic is required. But a woman who wants to end her pregnancy has to “live” with her abortion for at least a week using this technique. It’s an appalling psychological ordeal.”

From a woman whose unborn baby tested positive for Down syndrome:
“I was looking forward to this child until I got the news that the baby had Down syndrome. Then, the child became an “it”… I was so defective that I couldn’t produce a non-– defective baby. I felt that if people knew, they would be horrified and I would be shunned.”

In one article on performing late term abortions:

Share on FacebookScientists propose forceps extraction cause babies headaches
“It cannot be comfortable for the fetus to have a scalp electrode implanted on his skin, to have blood taken from the scalp or to suffer the skull compression that may occur even with spontaneous delivery. It is hardly surprising that infants delivered by difficult forceps extraction act as if they have a severe headache.”
