Behind the Scenes: Picturing Fetal Remains
The New York Times ^ | 10-09-09 | Damien Cave

Photobucket

[There are no graphic images in the article proper. They are accessed through a slide show only.]

The photographs are graphic and detailed, showing the fingers or toes of aborted fetuses whose entire frames are no bigger than a cellphone. Since the mid-1990s, they have appeared all over the country — carried as posters by protesters, handed out with pamphlets or, in some cases, mounted like billboards on the sides of trucks.

Like many others, I often wondered about the source of these images. Who took the pictures? Where did the fetuses come from?

I had a chance to find some answers while reporting in late September on the death of James Pouillon, the anti-abortion protester who was shot and killed in Owosso, Mich. [See Saturday's presentation on the subject in The New York Times.]

I bet what she has seen first hand, in person, complete with scent, has made her rough. No one with a conscience could see those images in person and not be unscathed.

That's ALL you can say....good mercy!

The fact that the New York Times even admits to victims of abortion, much less graphic pictures is a huge step.

Kudos to the brave woman who is trying to expose this crime against humanity.....and thanks to the writer of this timely NYT piece

She’s a brave and courageous woman. She has opened the eyes of many who have seen her work. It is a rough task indeed but thank God that someone like her is doing it.

Prayers for the precious innocents.

Those photos speak volumes. First saw them travelling thru CA and they left a mark. I was raised to think of it as choice. No arguing could convince me that what was shown in those pictures was right all the logic in the world doesn’t change that a human was cut to shreds.

I have since, on one occasion, stood beside the road holding those signs myself.

Please read Abortion Foes Tell of Their Journey to the Streets, also on Free Republic, also featured in The New York Times by the same author, Damien Cave. (May God encourage his further writings.)

When I first saw these huge placards of dead babies, I was frightened and uncomfortable. Now, I too, have held one alongside a major highway, and hope to again real soon.

Indeed! It's very easy to comment on the piece ... you don't have to sign up first.

I visited Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry many times while I was growing up.(1950's - 60's)

The exhibit of real human fetuses and embryos taught anyone with eyes that pro-aborts were lying in the 70's when they called preborns "blobs of tissue."

Indeed the comments do to. Reading the article of the three babies chopped up in a jar that had to be reassembled sent shivers.

In high school I held a glass jar containing a pickled fetus that was intact. It was dreadful. Supposedly it was a stillborn and it was part of the biology depts specimen collection. It had been brought back to the US from central america by one of the professors who came from there.

There will only be one way to stop this carnage. As in the old testament days, and in the days of the Church, when evil is purged from the land, force will one day ( force of law and its enforcement ) be required to halt this holocaust. And there will be squeals of “you are persecuting me”.
