What if those images are not aborted fetuses. How would you feel?

Why are you so convinced that they can’t be real? Do you not want to believe it? Do you hold a “sanitized” image of abortion in your mind that you don’t want challenged? Is there some hurt involved for you? I pray not.

Pictures could be taken for documentary purposes, for instance to ensure that all aspects of the procedure are followed correctly, to avoid claims of liability. Or they could be taken for use in training materials for future abortionists. Pro-life activists working with medical workers have ways of gaining access to things, not just photos smuggled but actual aborted infants themselves! Dumpster diving outside of clinics! They have gone to heroic lengths and done some very, very risky and uncomfortable things in order that the truth comes out.

Besides that, if a creep like Kermit Gosnell kept babies’ feet in jars it really isn’t a stretch to believe photos could be taken by anyone involved in abortion for any purpose. It’s not exactly an endeavor ruled by sanity or reason.

But I will still answer your question. It would not change my opinion of abortion, because what I saw were little human beings, even at very early stages of gestation. Not the blobs of tissue or some even-more-nebulous "choice." That is what a human is at that stage--a human, and that is what is being killed.

Still, I do need to mention that either you or trisham said something along the lines of miscarriages having to be removed by d&c. So what is the problem? The photos would be showing what happens during a d&c abortion ! Abortion rips a baby apart, even if, in your theoretical example, the one depicted was already dead, it doesn't change the fact that those images would show EXACTLY what is done to the live ones!

Argument from silence.

It's like saying, "Well, hey, that dead body depicted on the news during the VietNam war may have died from natural causes."

Now who's going to either fall for that? or, realize that it's up to the accuser (that the dead body isn't tied to the context of the ongoing war at hand) to prove it aint so.

You got any articles you can point to, appypappy, citing some anonymous "mom" claiming, "Hey, that pix was my miscarried baby?"
