Not really. I saw a filmed abortion in college. I've been pro-life ever since. The positives of seeing something like this far outweigh the negative.
"...I saw a filmed abortion in college..."
What were the circumstances of this viewing? Who produced the film?
In college, sure. When you're 11?
filmed abortion = "snuff" film (albeit a legally sanctioned one)
I wonder if any of your classmates reacted the same way you did.
Ever try to soothe the nightmares of a kid who saw the poster-sized, dismembered baby photos at a Pro-Life rally?
College age kids and 10 and 11 year olds are different creatures. These kids are not ready to see something that graphic. A film on the evils of abortion could easily be made age-appropriate.
I agree completely!!!
I had to do a simulated radio broadcast on a controversial topic for a class in college. I was VERY pro-abortion at the time and was prepared to put wht I called the pro-life "nuts" to shame.
I knew the pro-abortion side...I had known it for years. Because we were required to honestly and fairly present both sides of the issue, I had to force myself to look at the issue from the "other" side.
Needless to say, after doing extensive research via reading and watching videos (including graphic ones showing actual abortions) to see why pro-lifers could possibly believe the way they did, I literally became pro-life overnight! And I've been pro-life ever since!!! That was back around 1974.
There is NOTHING more effective to shape an innocent mind or change a seemingly-hardened, pro-abortion heart against abortion as a graphic abortion video!!! If a picture is worth a thousand words, a graphic abortion video is worth a MILLION!!!
