Pennsylvania State Rep. Babette Josephs, a Philadelphia Democrat, recently attacked her pro-life women colleagues in the state legislature for supporting a bill that would allow women a chance to see an ultrasound of their unborn child before an abortion, calling them “men with breasts.” But who are the real “men with breasts,” Dr. Rebecca Peck asks.

One of the greatest media hoaxes of the 20th century is The Reproductive Healthcare Movement’s concern for social justice & women’s safety

Also from the article:

…history has proven this to be completely false! After 1967-73 most abortionists simply moved out from the back alley onto Main St. and little has changed to help make surgical abortion anymore safe since Roe vs. Wade.

He’s finally been arrested, but apparently Theodore Shulman harassed and threatened the lives of pro-lifers over the course of four years…

…a lot of pro-lifers: Read more…

Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson also produced Silent Scream.

The last line of the article says it all:

Whatever comes next, may he find rest, peace, and forgiveness.

How many of you are long-in-the-tooth enough to remember when pro-’choice’ folks ridiculed anyone who warned that legalizing abortion-on-demand would lead to things like euthanasia… and sex selective abortions… and aborting the handicapped… or euthanizing the handicapped?

Well this article, about “well-known Brazilian pro-abortion activist and anthropologist Debora Diniz” justifies all those fears, if you ask me.

Debora Diniz:
Subhumans are those whose lives are bound to ‘fail’—as Dworkin, a liberal American jurist who studies abortion, explains—or those for whom, to say the least, the concept of life is inadequate. Subhumans are extreme human otherness, those not expected by the miracle of procreation. Read more…

I notice only pro life groups create abortion videos to use in trying to persuade people to their cause. Why don’t pro choice groups create their own videos showing abortions? Is there something biased in the pro life’s abortion videos? If they’re biased, then certainly the pro choice crowd could create something UNbiased still showing actual abortions. After all, they’re the ones defending abortion on demand. Why not show the procedure they value so highly to pregnant women considering it, along with the body of the “mass of cells” after the procedure is over? Clinics could even show different types of abortions depending on the type of abortion the woman is considering. We all agree that the truth is a good thing, yes? Why not show women the truth of what actually happens and the results? This would be a more informed choice than women have now.

I recommend, for anybody pro life OR pro choice, you go to YouTube and watch some abortion videos. There is also a very good one at Catholic.org.

Another enlightening thing is to go to Google Images and search the phrase abortion.

For me, the images often remind me of Holocaust footage, too horrific to grasp. I didn’t want to watch the videos or see the images, but I knew I had to so I could write this post. As I watched them, I cried and I kept wondering, “How could women do this?” but then I thought they must not really know what’s going on, they haven’t seen images of the dismembered bodies or of the actual procedure.

If pregnant women were informed in this way, I wonder how many would still choose abortion.

“… dehumanizing the target provides a release from guilt for the person that scapegoats them, who typically begins to see themselves as a victim of the dehumanized person, rather than as a potential oppressor.” ~from the Dehumanization article on Wikipedia
