Viewers react in horror to third undercover Planned Parenthood video
liveactionnews.org ^ | Jul 30, 2015 | Christina Martin

As the undercover videos from the Center of Medical Progress have come out, I’ve heard some disheartening remarks about them online. One of the statements I’ve heard is the idea that these videos will only serve to galvanize the pro-life crowd and strengthen our beliefs. Some people, both pro-life and pro-choice, believe the videos won’t move people who already support abortion.

This is completely false.

As I shared in a previous article, people on all sides of this issue are being impacted by these videos. Here are some comments left under the third video from horrified viewers:

Dane Trumbore 1 day ago (edited)

“Even though I thought I knew how barbaric abortion is, I never really saw just how bad it really is and how deep it goes until now.”

Garrett Monson 1 day ago

“i was on the fence about abortion until i saw this”

Chris Jones 1 day ago

+Garrett Monson “Me too. I was actually more sympathetic to the pro-choice, until I watched this. This should be mandatory viewing before every abortion is conducted I believe.”

For those of us who’ve lived in a post Roe world all of our lives, to change our views on a ‘right’ that’s defended by our government is a big deal. The man below is not pro-life but he’s outraged by Planned Parenthood’s actions:

Oliver Witherspoon 1 day ago (edited)

The people at Planned Parenthood are so desensitized, they don’t seem to even realize how twisted and sick their conscious minds have become. I’m not even a family man, I’m a bachelor living in liberal-land Seattle and this makes me nauseous. I couldn’t live with myself if I was part of this monstrosity. Up to 24 weeks!!!?? 6 month old’s?? Carving up body parts and selling them like they’re selling apples at a farmers market. Absolutely Horrific

This viewer admits to being a pro-choicer, who is now looking for evidence to possibly make a change. The viewer even asks for others to provide information to help in the decision process:

MM Marcus 13 hours ago

I am still on the fence on abortion. However, I’m leaning toward pro-life after these videos. I used to be a very conservative pro-choicer to begin with. ….. Anyone wants to tip me over the fence?

Some viewers plainly shared their feelings of disgust and outrage after viewing a fetus being picked apart for valuable pieces:

magorkel 5 hours ago

“these freaks are Frankensteins.”

stokedonstipen 9 hours ago

“I’m repulsed.”

Connie Atkinson 11 hours ago

“I am gobsmacked that Cecil the lion evokes more outrage than this. Holy sh**, are we in trouble!”

This man uses expressive language (edited) to share his horror. His last sentence is a weighty one:

cculb1 1 day ago

holy f***ing sh** man. i have seen a lot of messed up sh** on the internet. i’ve seen mexican cartel guys get their head sawed off with a chain saw… but i just had a new baby girl about 1.5 years ago and my wife is about to have our new boy any day now, and i’m going to have to say that this probably disturbs me more than anything i’ve ever seen.

Hopefully the woman below will call for Planned Parenthood’s defunding when she fully realizes the truth exposed in these videos:

sara gaste 1 day ago

I am Pro Choice but not Pro profit of tissue! Tissue should only be donated if desired for medical research.etc. these people need to be de funded if there is any truth to this

This viewer is like many others who are personally pro-life but feel they can’t impose their beliefs on others. Yet she admits seeing these videos is causing her disgust to grow:

Helen Anderson 1 hour ago

Personally I think abortion is murder. That being said I don’t feel it is another person’s right to tell a woman what to do with her body, especially in the case of incest, rape or a medical emergency. But after watching this video I can’t help but feel disgusted and horrified with what mankind can do to innocent human beings who are not only disposed of by the thousands every year, but also sold so that greedy immoral people can get rich. Honestly it nearly made me throw up.

On a personal note, I am very actively pro-life but it didn’t happen overnight. It was a process. Even after I learned I was almost aborted, I still didn’t deeply care about the issue or take any immediate actions to stand against abortion. Thankfully a number of dreams and words from friends caused me to speak out against this injustice.

Everyone has a different journey, and people come to see the evil of abortion in many ways. The fact that these videos are causing people to think about abortion in a different light is a great step in the right direction. I look forward to the changed hearts and minds that will come after the other videos are released.

Geez. I thought some judge had placed an injunction on any more anti-pp videos from being released. Only libs can ignore court issued documents without consequence.

Dead Lion=Bad

Tissue masses=Good

From a facebook page called "The Christian Left", shared by someone to my timeline just minutes ago.

And yet, NO ONE on my timeline, which is mostly conservatives, has DARED to share any of the horrible planne parenthood news publicly, because they are afraid of the consequences and blowback. WE ARE SHEEP...

Conception is a miracle (any conception regardless of circumstance). I didn't realize this until I saw the first sonogram of my first grandchild. That was the day I stopped being pro-choice.

It was seeing two dark spots in the mess on the table in the third video and realizing those were the babies eyes that broke my heart. Those eyes should have seen a paren’s loving smile, a red balloon on a first birthday cake, towering trees, red sunrises, and the twinkling stars. They should not have been scraped into a bag marked Medical Waste and sent to an incinerator.

“StemExpress,” a baby organ middleman, is owned by Cate Spears Dyer. Cate’s sister, Charlotte Spears Ivanic is on John Boehner’s staff. Charlotte works on healthcare issues.
To confirm, search Cate Dyer Sacramento State and Charlotte Ivanic Nancy Pelosi.
A quick look at Cate’s FB page would lead you believe that she is a big fan of HRC.
I wonder if Speaker Boehner’s office has any comment?

“I couldn’t live with myself if I was part of this monstrosity.”

This is what I was thinking, how can this be your job?

I know medical people see some gruesome stuff, and I know soldiers, and other military people and cops do too. And sure, I think you can become inured to almost anything, desensitized, I get that.

But I really would not want to become the kind of person who could rip an unborn baby apart, limb from limb and then haggle and cackle over their shredded remains.

I don’t think there’s enough booze and drugs in the universe that could make me live with that.

Imagine if you were one of those doctor’s children? How could you look your parent in the face again?

I’m a grandparent too now, and yes, they really are better!

And I’m not trying to give you a hard time in any way, but why was it your grandchild affected you that way and not your own children?

No, but I’m sure he’ll shed a few tears.

And always remind everyone just which political party gave birth to the baby we know as abortion...

1. Abortion wasn't a common form of birth control then. 2. Sonograms weren't available for standard prenatal care. 3. Sex was nowhere near as casual back then as it is now (don't get me started about the societal impact of the Pill). 4. When mothers felt the first kick there was no doubt about whether there was a life there. 5. A strong sense of personal responsibility which, evidently, is less prevalent in the general population today.
