From pro-choice author Melody Rose:
The images and language most often wielded by pro-life advocates are vivid and emotional recent developments in imaging technique certainly have facilitated a reliance on powerful pictures that humanize the fetus in a way not possible two decades ago. Because fetuses now can be seen in intricate detail, opponents of abortion have striking images to use in support of abortion restrictions, despite what these restrictions might mean to womens health and freedom.

Thanks for all your pro-life postings, Morgana. Merry Christmas!
You are welcome! Merry Christmas to you too!
And yet the fact abortion is fatal to the baby means nothing
The obscenely misnamed Melody Rose seems unable to withstand the truth.
Many years ago, I instructed a course in embryology. The goal was to have the students think in four dimensions.
Ten bucks says that Melody & Pals have no such qualms about the iconic photo of that crying,naked Vietnamese girl running down the road from a few years back.
It's an image that will remain with me until I draw my least breath
That woman is an utter psychopath. While she complains about “humanizing” the fetus (who was always human), the concept that being able to kill one’s own child for convenience is not a right does not seem to enter her mind.
