How has this website influenced your thinking?

Well I have always been pro-choice, but it makes me think a little more. I do think that abortion should be legal for the women who aren't supposed to have kids for medical reasons. Some believe abortion is ok for rape victims; however I think the child shouldn't suffer. Meaning adoption, or if you keep it look at it as a blessing to a bad experience.

Before I saw pictures of aborted babies...I was neutral about abortion. I thought that women were aborting clumps of tissue that weren't yet babies. What I saw was NOT clumps of tissue...they were small babies, developing. Then I read the different types of abortion, and it made me realize how inhumane and cruel the act truly is.

Mostly, I was against (abortion), but I felt that in the case of rape or incest, especially against a person under eighteen, that person should have the right to choose. I only thought of how the pregnant person would feel; how much pain it would cause to look at that child everyday and remember how it was conceived. After seeing the images of this site and reading all of the arguments against abortion, I am wholeheartedly against it. I think anyone who is considering abortion should visit this site to get an idea of the atrocious act that they would be committing. I realize now that no matter how much pain that rape or incest caused you, you have no right to take a human life under any circumstances whatsoever.

I've been opposed to abortion since the afternoon I had my own abortion on April 3, 1987...the pictures on your site bring back the image of what I saw that day...I asked to see what I aborted. To my horror, I looked down in the stainless steel pan and saw a tiny, massacred human being. I didn't talk for 6 months. I have never stopped grieving for this little one that I know I will see in heaven (I later became a Christian)...I'm just not sure what I'll say to him or her when we finally meet. Apologizing seems so inadequate. If I can help SOMEONE before she makes this tragic mistake, it would be better than doing nothing at all. Thanks for showing what needs to be shown. Shame on people like me who know better and let this genocide continue anyway.

(It) gives a visual image - rather than simply being a method to "remove" a fetus (a growth in the uterus) it's the slaughter of a body. Somehow, if it's a part of us, and we don't die, its easy to think of it as straight removal - like having appendix out.

I have never seen the graphic pictures of abortion procedures before. I have only heard the rhetoric. It seems inconceivable to me that anyone could view these pictures and not be emotionally and spiritually moved. What I find shocking is that the question is always framed in terms of the mother's rights and not the unborn child's... to that end I would suggest that the moment at which a "fetus" can feel pain and exhibits emotional responses such as distress, is the moment at which a woman loses her right to choice and assumes her legal obligations as a mother...
