Would this turn someone off an abortion?

Yes, I agree the SONOGRAPH thing has been thought of before.
Good but unlikely idea

Fact: Did you know that there has been nearly 50 MILLION ABORTIONS in America since 1973.

What is your trip on abortion anyway? Get off the soapbox and rejoin the rest of us in the real world. People make mistakes and stuff happens. The photographs of aborted fetuses and reports of abortions really sicken and sadden me too--I'm cynical, but human--but it also makes me mad that now these little lives are over and they are used by zealots who use their shock value to try and manipulate people. So--who's worse? This is an issue that shouldn't be discussed in public. It's between you and your conscience, and your doctor.

The foetus won't be fully concious, it won't have any memories & it won't know the life it will be missing. I guess it might feel brief pain. Compare that with a lifetime of knowing you weren't wanted, or a childhood with parent(s) who couldn't afford or weren't mentally prepared to be parents at that point in time.

good question!

How dare you be so presumptuous and judgemental. There are some women out there who know deep down that they are not ready for the massive responsibility off motherhood and you think it is perfectly acceptable to guilt them into accepting this responsibility. Your actions will not save the suffering of some of these embryos, your actions just delay it. When the embryo is then born as a conscious child into a world of abuse, neglect or abandonment. Why don't you concentrate on your own life and look at the world around you and then ask if your opinions are really valid.

I think you need to use other mediums to preach!!!

Yes it would, we are all human beings and our choices are influenced by everything. But only a stupid mother would think that her baby would be aborted in such a terrible way.

Abortions are pre-meditated decisions and if the mind is made up then nothing can change it.

The truth about abortion is horrible enough. See:

Pitchow!

You are given a sonogram before the abortion.

You're very young aren't you.

So if you were (heaven forbid) raped and ended up pregnant you wouldn't ever consider abortion?

No, it wouldn't put me off, for a star i wound.'t have the sonograph done, and i know that i was getting rid of a soon to be life, why make it worse for someone?

When I'm in the mood for a good old-fashioned abortion, nothing can turn me off from it!

I feel so sorry for people who push their views on others. I'm very Pro Life. Because I don't wish to be associated with lunatics, MY CHOICE is to not have an abortion, ever. I would never push that on anyone.

As a man, I would imagine that a woman having to make that decision would already be under great pressure and to add to it, you want her to be further traumatized by forcing her to see and hear about the procedure. That, in my opinion, is a very cruel thing to do to a person who is in a bad mental place. That is something that should be shown to kids in junior-high school.

First off, one of the ways an abortion is performed is by crushing the skull and removing the brain. Studies have shown that if the mother sees the baby moving around, she may connect that to a living being and not a mass of tissue. They are more likely to change their mind if they see an sonogram or hear a heartbeat.

Mr. October

Hey, buttwipe, if you are anti abortion, don't have one.

When your sister/mom/wife/girlfriend gets raped and impregnated against her will, explain to her why she needs to have that baby.

Its a woman, not an incubating machine.

someDumbAmerican

Blah. Go tell it on the mountain. Get your god off my rights.

candidworker

they dont smash the head and drain the brain you F***ing idiot what the hell would be the point of that. We are in the year 2006 the methods of abortion have improved greatly. The baby does not suffer.

sarah c

We get it, you disagree with abortion. You are lucky, you will never find yourself making the difficult decision. You will have the baby if you get pregnant.
Its an easy world where there is no rape or syphilis.
Most abortions take place very early, while the foetus is a clump of cells so your lurid descriptions are way off the mark. Don't pretend that all abortions happen the way that you fantasise. There is a legal upper limit. Stop being so judgemental and try to find something positive to do. Volunteer for Barnados if you love kids so much.

every1 is free 2 their own views and opinions - who r we 2 try and change them?

you can not tell a person to do what you think
every person has the right to do what they think is best for them

It is not ethical to lie about such things. By showing some true photographs and giving true facts, it should be enough to put a mother off abortion. However, there are reasons for a woman wanting to abort. You should make sure she is aware of both TRUTHFUL sides, so she can make an informed decision.

egger

It will change some people's minds and stop them going through with it but others it will serve to reconfirm they are doing the right thing. And is it fair to use emotive imagery to try and change a person's (generally) well informed choice? a moment of guilt could change their mind, but who is to say that would be best for either the mom or the baby? I personally almost had an abortion (I was tagged and ready to go) and it wasn't the ultrasound that put me off, it was because deep down I wanted my son. If your mind is made up its made up, and I knew deep down I would back out at the last minute. I support fully those people who make that brave choice and bear the years of (probable) guilt afterwards. They have a lot of guts and are selfless people as only a truely honest and selfless person can go through something like that because they know they can't parent a child properly at that time. you obviously haven't seen enough of life to really understand these issues and you have a very narrow viewpoint.

sharon v

hopefully it would turn them against it, i dont know how anyone could abort a baby unless the babies life was at risk!

Lala Jay

OK, if it would turn someone off an abortion and they decided to keep the baby, would it make you happy??? If you heard or read about it and you wouldn't even know the person? Maybe it would give you a feeling of triumph inside, but really it's none of your business what anybody does with their body, haven't you got any LIFE???
