Most People are Pro-Life Because They Have Been Lied To

Most people who are anti-abortion imagine if not quite a full term baby, at least a very far along, well developed fetus being ripped apart limb by limb during an abortion. This is due mainly from falsified pictures of so-called abortions that they have been subjected to. The truth is very different.

These are the words of a doctor who works at an abortion clinic, regarding a pro-life video about abortion he had just seen:

A nurse who once worked for me was here last week with two friends. After the video was over, one said to her, "I suppose you are accustomed to seeing this." She, appropriately appalled by what she had just seen, replied, "I have never seen anything like that in my life!" Well, I've never seen anything like that either, and I see the face of abortion almost every working day."

"A skilled filmmaker can easily fool people who want to see a straw man as the real thing. The pictures shown in that video, all supposed to be of abortuses taken from a dumpster behind a Houston abortion clinic, were a montage of near-term stillbirths and very late second trimester abortions, with, perhaps, one set of fetal parts from a 12 to 14 weeks fetus, and a few fetal parts. The pictures were taken using a variety of techniques and magnifications from varying distances in order to achieve maximum emotional impact. In fact, in the words of the video's maker, it was made expressly to "horrify" and to "outrage" Pro-Life partisans, and to "inflict excruciating psychic anguish...(on women who have had abortions and on)...their friends, families and the fathers of their children." And all this is presented as being the result of common abortion practice. (After our seminar that night I showed those in attendance the reality. I said, "I brought several specimens from abortions done in my clinic in the past two days. As you view these specimens, I would like you to keep in mind the images that we were all subjected to last Tuesday night.")

All of the intact fetuses presented in the video, Hard Truth, were late second and third trimester and near term stillborn infants or spontaneously aborted fetuses, rather than the result of a safe legal abortion.

In Pro-Life rhetoric, there is no distinction made between a fertalized egg or an embryo and a baby; between a fetus and a child or adult. And indeed, at forty weeks, there is little difference between the brain of a normal fetus and that of a baby only a few days older. But there is a greater functional difference between the brain of an eighteen week fetus and a six month old baby than there is between the brain of a baby chicken and a ten year old child. Between a six week embryo and a forty week fetus there is a greater functional nervous system difference than between an oyster and a full-term infant!

As you can see, a real abortion looks nothing like what we have been led to believe.

Here is what the majority of abortions look like this .

Here is what the embryo actually looks like in the majority of abortions. Please note the actual size in the upper left corner of the picture: click on the link.
SIZE: 9.0 - 11.0 mm
TIME PERIOD: 37 - 42 days post-ovulation

Here are some interesting facts:
Abortions Involve Embryos Not Fetuses

"For a long time, nearly 90 percent of abortions in the U.S. have taken place in the first trimester, but in recent years, women having an abortion have been able to do so earlier and earlier in the first trimester. Currently, more than 6 in 10 abortions occur within the first eight weeks of pregnancy, and almost 3 in 10 take place at six weeks or earlier."
