When I was about 14 weeks pregnant, I got scared out of my wits and decided I would abort my child. I had gotten the money together, and I had the appoinment set up and all. Well, that morning when we got ot the building, there were abortion protestors outside with pictures of charred bodies and ripped apart fetuses. All of a sudden, I was like, "wait a minute, how can I do this? What will she look like? How could I influence her life?" So, I was about to get out of the vehicle and suddenly I said, "I can't do this" I was just so scared of the way the fetuses looked and miserable thinking that I may one day wonder how she grew up. (at the time, I just assumed it was a girl). Well, now, my son is 3 months old and is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm scared about whether I'll ever have to tell him I almost aborted him and what he'll think of me then. I love him more than anything else in the world, and I 100% regret ever thinking about aborting him.

I never really had a strong opinion one way or the other about abortion. I never really thought it was right, but I wasn't sure if I thought it should be illegal. After I saw you trucks driving around my town I got on your website and cannot believe what I saw. This is in no way right and should be stopped.

When the fetus is only 6 weeks old, it still looks like a baby. I figured it wasnt really anything at 6 weeks.

At first, I thought [abortion] didn't matter. In some situations I thought it would be ok, like if a 13 year old girl got pregnant and coudn't care for it. Then I saw this, and talked to my friends, and we just thought, "then put it up for adoption!" Thanks for changing my mind, in a good way!

I thought [abortion] was personally wrong but I still believed that it was a personal choice and the government should not tell you what to believe. But I've seen that it is OBVIOUSLY wrong. Murder, Rape, theft are all personal morality choices, but they still are wrong and illegal, so why should abortion be any different?

I never knew that they harmed them like that. Never again in my life will I EVER think about aborting anuther baby and if I hear a frend or family member talking about getting an abortion I'm gonna show them this site because abortion HAS to stop now!!

After seeing the display and being touched, especially by the photo of the premature baby alive and an aborted 24 week old "fetus" (I, myself, was born at 24 weeks exactly), I saw that no one deserved to make that sort of choice.

I stumbled upon your website and some others and ever since then I have educated myself (with the help of your website and other resources) and become powerfully and overwhelmingly pro-life.

I saw the images from this website as part of a pro-life presentation earlier this week on campus (Mizzou). I was absolutely horrified at the pictures, and even more so by the fact that women who have abortions never see these pictures. After hearing the presentation and seeing these pictures, I had to know more. I have spent the last two days researching abortion during all of my spare time...there's so much I didn't know and it breaks my heart. Before all this I was pro-life, but I was okay with abortions in the case of rape, incest, or to save the mother's life -- not anymore.
