Abortion Pictures
Abortion is an act of violence against an innocent human being.
Page Summary:
There is simply no way to accurately comprehend the barbarity of abortion without being exposed to the photographic evidence which so clearly demonstrates that abortion is a brutal act of violence.
Some people argue that abortion is an act of mercy, an expression of
love to a child who would otherwise be forced to endure a life of
unwantedness. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the US. Their founder, Margaret Sanger,
once said, "the most merciful thing that a large family does to one of
its infant members is to kill it." The question before us, then, is
this. Is abortion an act of mercy or an act of violence? While it may
be easy to casually maintain support for abortion in the abstract, it
becomes much harder when the evidence is put before us.
Though
pictures of aborted embryos and fetuses are shocking, they are no more
shocking than the act of abortion itself. Until you see what abortion
does, you will never accurately understand what abortion is. There are
some things for which words alone fail to accurately communicate their
brutality. Referring to the horrific lynching of
14-year-old Emmett Till and the subsequent photos published in a 1955
issue of Jet magazine, Reverend Al Sharpton remarks:
People can sort of deal with things they don't have to look at, but it's hard to view a corpse and turn your head... And that's why generations unborn owe [Emmett's mom] a lot, because she was able to graphically bring home what a thousand speeches couldn't bring home... The easiest thing would have been to say, "No, close the casket, I can't bear it." But she somehow found the strength to say, "I'll bear my pain, to save some other mother from having to go through this." And because she put the picture of this young man's body on the conscience of America, she might have saved thousands of young black men and young black women's lives."

Abort73 does not support or condone violence against abortion providers nor associate with groups that do.
The decision to unseal Emmett's coffin was not an easy or pleasant
one. Neither was holding an open-casket funeral and allowing the
pictures of her mutilated son to be shown to an entire nation and
world. Those photographs, however, helped create an entire generation of young activists who could no longer remain apathetic towards America's racial problem.
The
photographs on this page are equally unpleasant, but as Reverend
Sharpton points out, "People can sort of deal with things they don't
have to look at." Day after day, thousands of tiny human beings are
quietly destroyed behind sterile clinic doors. Abortion pictures
graphically bring home what a thousand speeches can't. Naomi Wolf, one
of the most celebrated feminists of the modern era and an ardent abortion
supporter, questions anyone who is willing to support abortion without
also having the stomach to face its violent reality. She says it this
way:
How can we charge that it is vile and repulsive for pro-lifers to brandish vile and repulsive images if the images are real? To insist that the truth is in poor taste is the very height of hypocrisy. Besides, if these images are often the facts of the matter, and if we then claim that it is offensive for pro-choice women to be confronted by them, then we are making the judgment that women are too inherently weak to face a truth about which they have to make a grave decision. This view of women is unworthy of feminism.*
No abortion education is complete without an examination of the photographic evidence which so conclusively demonstrates that abortion is an act of violence that kills a living human being. These pictures are graphic, but they need to be seen.

POSSIBLE OBJECTION: Abortion is a horrible thing and I would never have one, but that doesn't give me the right to tell other people what they can or cannot do.

this is so wrong. there is no way to describe how much my friends and i have changed in the last few days. We are writing essays as our 8th grade final exam. We are writing persuasive essays. If i could just show these photos maybe people would understand wat they really support. It is just so awful how anyone can think this is right. But one of my very close friends believes abortion is right and it is the womens own body. She got sort of upset when i wore an abort73 shirt. It then really struck me as how many people support this and just how hard it is to convince some ppl. So i just wanted to say keep trying. Even if you lose some1 u care about. Even tho its hard stand strong!!

Its so sad the world we live in so many people using abortion as a form of birth control its upsetting. Dr’s themselves are no better though. I have 2 children a boy and girl with my daughter my dr treid to get me to terminate her because I was misdiagnosed and ended up getting put on a dose of prescription drugs that apparently were harmful to a fetus she wanted me to book right away I refused. I said wait for the ultra sound if there are sever abnormalities then yes we will go through with it but the dr then claimed she might have sever mental disabilities as well she made my baby sound like it would be a monster had i given birth. On the ultra sound I had a perfect looking baby 10 finger 10 toes so I went through with it and figured if shes mentally disabled then we will cross that bridge when we get there. Well guess what I have a perfectly healthy smart little 3 year old girl. Im glad I never listened to my Dr. I dont judge people that choose the route of abortions i just wish they would reconsider carrying the child for 9 months and giving it up for adoption there are soo many people out there that would love to adopt a child because they are unable to have a child of thier own. Take my sister for example at the age of 20 she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and in the end ended up having to have a hysterectomy now if she were to ever get married her and her husband are unable to have children.
