Venice Beach. July 2011.
2nd Trimester (22 weeks) aborted fetus.  

Yes, we were showing pictures at a public beach.
And yes, they are disgusting. And shocking. And terrible. I’ve heard it all.

But this is the truth. These pictures are real, and its NEVER a good time to show these pictures. But this is what abortion is doing to babies every single day.

Babies can be saved at 21 to 22 weeks after fertilization, and in some cases even younger. Babies have lived when born at 19 weeks!

If you’re going to give us “facts,” you have to cite your sources for all of them. I want the source of the pictures, as many of these kind of pictures are faked. A pro-life website is not a reliable source. If you have trouble distinguishing reliable sources, I suggest you Google it, and it’s a shame you didn’t learn it in school.

I also want the source for your claim that babies have survived at 19 weeks. The “world’s most premature baby” left the hospital in April after spending 6 months in the hospital. She was born at 21 weeks, 5 days. She was subjected to aggressive, intensive medical care, paid for by Germany’s universal health care.

Children born before 22 weeks have a low chance of survival as major organs such as the lungs, heart and brains are not fully developed and entering the world at less than 32 weeks put them at an increased risk for problems regarding development. According to reports, Frieda was originally a twin, but the other child — a brother named Kilian — died a few days after being born.

Here is an overview of fetal development. Babies born at that point are severely underdeveloped and have a very low rate of survival. Some argue it is cruel to attempt to keep them alive, as they are clearly suffering, in great pain, and don’t have much of a chance to live outside the hospital.

Graphic pictures are more likely to drive people away from your cause.

There are exceptions, but I believe that gory images and videos, especially when they’re forced upon the public, generally turn people away from both veganism and from the anti-choice movement. Whenever I hear people react to anti-choicers flaunting alleged aborted fetus photos in public, their reactions are always, without exception, angry, annoyed, and all around negative.

I’d also like to point out that it’s not the government’s job to police the individual morals of its citizens. So this “moral wrong” can MOST CERTAINLY and, in my opinion SHOULD DEFINITELY, be a constitutional right.

Love,

I agree with the womans right to choose, but how is it not the governments job to police and regulate morality?

Morals are part of an individual ideology that changes from person to person. It infringes on a person’s rights in many different ways if the government attempts to legislate in terms of morals.

The government legislates based on the rights it awards its citizens. Murder is not illegal because it’s a VERY BAD THING. It’s illegal because it infringes on the victim’s right to life and their bodily autonomy. The murderer is permanently infringing on their victim’s right to life and because of that we punish them harshly.

The government did legislate based on morals once. It was called Prohibition. I think we all know how well that turned out, yeah?

Love,

Rabble

^ YESS.

Someone just got told.

Seriously people make it seem like abortion is a horrible crime forced upon people. Why do people care so much about a woman’s life and choices?

Also, it’s disgusting that his Anti-Choice protestor is a woman. Her actions are criminalizing and oppressing other women WORLDWIDE. Thank you for contributing. You are a fine specimen.
