I watched the abortion video for the first time.
Curiousity got the better of me, you could say. I was well aware the video came from a pro-life propaganda website.
Here is what is right with the video, and what is wrong with it.
The images of fetus's is somewhat accurate. An aborted fetus would look something like the images on the video, however, toward the end of the video, a 24 week old fetus is shown, being wrapped in what appears to be
newspaper.
I can say with almost 100% certainty that this fetus was stillborn, not aborted. No abortion clinic in this world would allow a pro life advocate - with a camera, no less - into the operating room, and allow them to film an aborted fetus. There is also the issue of health and safety to be addressed. It would be highly dangerous to allow someone, anyone, to film an aborted fetus while the abortionist wraps the fetus in newsprint.
The beginning of the film is accurate in saying around 40 million unborn children are terminated each year through abortion.
I agree that 40 million abortions a year, worldwide, is far too many, and we need to address this problem, but using videos such as this in a blatant attempt to shock is simply not going to work. |
