Ad Watch: Extremely Graphic Abortion Ad Airs in D.C. Metro

ABC News’ Devin Dwyer reports:   An anti-abortion candidate running for D.C. delegate to the U.S. House is airing what is arguably one of this election cycle’s most provocative TV campaign ads, featuring extremely graphic images of aborted fetuses.

The 30-second ad for Missy Smith will air 24 times on local broadcast network affiliates across the greater Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. It is so explicit that it's preceded by a 15-second warning that was added by the stations’ administrators.

Over gruesome images of bloody and lifeless premature bodies, Smith says she had two abortions but has turned against the practice.

“I was told it’s not a baby. They lied to me. They exploited me. Then I learned the truth and I’ve suffered for years,” she says. “And believe me I am angry. My heart has been ripped out. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Norton – they all support the murder of babies and the abuse of women by abortion. It’s time to make child killing illegal again.”

YouTube has pulled the video from its site, posting a notice that it amounted to “a violation of YouTube's policy on shocking and disgusting content.”

WJLA, the local ABC affiliate to first air the ad, noted in its disclaimer that the station was required to air the ad under federal law.

The Communications Act requires broadcasters to provide legally qualified candidates fair access to ad time and forbids them from censoring ads “in any way, or for any reason.” 

Smith, who is running against incumbent Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton, claims to have backing of Tea Party.  Her website reads “Tea Party’s Number One Mission: End Legalized Child-Killing.”

She is shown in photos posing with Republican Reps. Mike Pence (IN), Steve King (IA), Trent Franks (AZ) and Jeff Fortenberry (NE), who all have support of the Tea Party movement.

Smith could not be reached for comment.

For those inclined, you can view the ad on Smith's website HERE.

Although WJLA cannot refuse to run this spot, surely they can refuse to run it when families would be watching. Perhaps they should air it at 2:00 a.m.

“anyone and I mean anyone that would vote for an absolute adult moron such as this….proves that they do not have a brain either. Even if elected this woman can do NOTHING to change the “law of choice”. And anyone that doesn’t fully understand that is not qualified mentally from a competency standpoint to vote either. This is “pandering” to the dumbed down in the extreme. Another conservative example of “distraction issues” that they can do nothing about just to get the narrow minded, emotional vote. Pathetic!

More than fifty million abortions since the Rowe v Wade Supreme Court decision. I wonder which of those fetuses would have grown up to discover a cure for cancer, a remedy for war, or a stoppage for poverty.

Posted by: SelmaAla | October 21, 2010, 6:51 pm 6:51 pm

“SelmaAla”…and i wonder what in the “world” would thism planet would have done with that extra 50 million. In fact I wonder howm many world wars we be up to…just trying to reduce those numbers. So…are we as a nation going to put this “non-political topic” to rest like we should…or we going to let it screw up politics forever because the emotional minds just don’t get it? Really “SelmaAla”…you could play that “what if” game ’till the cows came home. This topic does NOT belong in any politicians campaign!

Posted by: CND FOX | October 21, 2010, 7:00 pm 7:00 pm

I wonder which of those fetuses would have become the next Hitler, Stalin, Ted Bundy, or Jeffrey Dahmer. Stop supposing what might have been and focus on children who are already born.

Posted by: Jane Doe | October 21, 2010, 7:02 pm 7:02 pm

abortions are a way for parents who are less fortunate,. abortions are helpful, especially when the parent or parents don’t have any money. maybe they dont want to raise a child in poverty or maybe just maybe they want to keep their kid and not put him or her up for adoption. has anybody ever stoped and thought about it from that viewpoint?

Posted by: teresa | October 21, 2010, 7:06 pm 7:06 pm

we as americans have enough kids in the system why put some innocent child through that just because someone else has a weak stomach. not everyone can afford multiple babies. condoms do break iud’s arn’t 100% neither is birth control and if a person isn’t mentally readdy and especially financially ready what other option is there. adoption isn’t it. i know a couple of people who wanted to put their children up for adoption and ended up changing their mind because of that mother baby bond. now they are on welfare and are living a pretty rough life.

thank you jane doe.

The time of day issue was litigated in an earlier case. It was determined that TV stations don’t have the right to restrict such ads to off-peak hours either, even to protect children from seeing the ads.

Posted by: Everett W. | October 21, 2010, 7:18 pm 7:18 pm

How extraordinary. Tearing a defenseless early stage human–yes, we all once looked exactly like the victim– is not offensive, but having the temerity to depict the atrocity is. Something is wrong with our sensibilities.

Posted by: john treacy | October 21, 2010, 7:28 pm 7:28 pm

john, we were all conceived by the act of intercourse (well, almost all of us) – does that mean you support hard core sex acts on television and in the streets?

Two abortions and she was lied to both times! Give me a break. She needs to take responsibility for her choice.

But if the stations aired an anti-gun ad that showed the dead and butchered carcasses of deer, elk and other animals it would have been protested off the air in minutes. Yeah, America the Land of the Loonie.

If we overturn a woman’s right to choose because “all life is sacred”, should we overturn the death penalty because “all life is sacred”? The question is begging to be asked, why favor one over the other? Don’t they both belong in the same argument? According to the christians and others, we are all sinners from the moment we are born.

Posted by: raggmopp | October 21, 2010, 8:38 pm 8:38 pm

It is beside the your point view or beliefs on abortion, it is about the horrific display on TV. Regardless of it being legal, it is done without out and thought for the children and elderly to see. It is morally reprehensible to air such graphic pictures on TV. And if this her decision making, then we sure don’t want her in office.

Neither side has a right to complain. Liberals: This is what Abortion looks like, why are you SO offended? This is what you support, this is what the end result is, regardless of your justification of it… Can’t handle the TRUTH!?!
GOP’ers, have you even SEEN what is shown on Arab satelitte tv these days, with regard to Afghanistan and Iraq!?! Men, women and children, (not to mention OUR soldiers) with their arms, legs, and heads cut OFF! Have YOU seen what hideous malformations Depleted Uranium ammunition and bombs do to infants and children. Or is a baby born with his heart outside his body considered “normal” to you. How about a swollen head the size of a basketball, as a newborn… This is what YOU justify.
So I personally don’t want to hear a DAMN thing from either one of you. “He who is without sin cast the first stone…”
Your ALL guilty and just trasferring the blame and accountablilty onto a convienient scapegoat, just like Maddow, Mattews, O’Reily, and Hannity… Do you see a pattern yet… If not there is NO hope for you…. Period, end of story.
Here, let me take your bottle from you so you can cry some more… Poor little babies! PATHETIC!!!

Funny how these comical Tea Party conservatives don’t want to fund welfare, public schools and after school programs. They are against education on safe sex and pregnancy prevention for the children who are already here. How in the world do they plan to afford these “extra children?” Help us all if any of these idiots get elected.

Posted by: jane | October 21, 2010, 10:39 pm 10:39 pm

So showing graphic depictions of late term abortions is supposed to do what? Evoke the radical emotional sensitivities of knee jerk reactionaries? It won’t, plain and simple it won’t.

Posted by: JT Draper | October 21, 2010, 11:39 pm 11:39 pm

This is her platform, really? First of all, there is no way most of those photos are from a typical abortion which is done in the first trimester; extremely misleading. Maybe Missy can focus her efforts and resources on the children that are already in this world, some of which are not wanted; some of which are living in orphanages; some of which are homeless and hungry; some of which are abused, and worse. And please don’t tell me I was abused when I had an abortion. In addition, I’m not screwed up because of it.
It’s almost not even worth discussing, she’s an idiot.

Posted by: Stacey | October 22, 2010, 12:04 am 12:04 am

I saw the ad….its very clear that the photos they selected were for shock value. They are all of apparently late term abortions and they provide no background as to why they were aborted…medical issues, etc…some look more like still births. I can easily google photos of dead babies and claim there were all abortions. Would you be able to tell the difference? This is cheap politics and people recognize this lady as a religious nut job.

Posted by: babyMuslim | October 22, 2010, 7:03 am 7:03 am

She had two abortions, and now she’s against them? How convenient.
BTW, if you aren’t responsible enough to manage basic birth control when you KNOW you can’t (or are unwilling to) raise a child, you’re not responsible enough to actually raise children or hold public office. Just sayin’.

Posted by: JrzWrld | October 22, 2010, 7:11 am 7:11 am

Amazing…simply amazing. I stayed off this blog all last night and then get up this morning and see all the “black and white, emotional debate” on whether it is “right” for TV to air this commercial. THAT IS NOT THE POINT. We should all be discussing what I have pointed out.The topic of “abortion” which has all ready been decided by law shlould be REJECTED BY EVERY RESPONSIBLE VOTER IN OUR NATION as a non-issue when it comes to a political campaign. Only the WEAK candidates who “PANDER” TO a narrow minded constituency use it BECAUSE they are not a good, solid candidate on the issues that REALLY AFFECT our nation. And until we make them quit using this divisive, emotional issue and soundly reject them for it…politics will remain a non-cohesive, devisive mess. And we won’t get anywhere from a progressive standpoint for our nation’s future. In short…the “dumbed down electorate” has to GET SMARTER. AND I INCLUDE EVEYONE IN THAT LAST STATEMENT. We ALL have to get SMARTER!

“Daniel and Dewey”…thanks for your posts. You are EXACTLY what I am talking about in my 7:37 post. And until you “change” the “Missy Smith” candidates of the world will continue to screw up politics for the majority of our nation.

Does any human being, other than a woman herself and her GOD, if she so believes, have the right to council and force a woman carry a fetus for nine months against her will?
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN ABORTIONS, DON’T HAVE ONE, BUT DO NOT FORCE YOUR P.O.V. ON OTHERS
As I have said before, talk to me about PRO-Life when all of our nations orphanages are devoid of children.

Posted by: osbja01 | October 22, 2010, 10:12 am 10:12 am

osbja01,
Does anyone have the right to council and force anyone else not to harm other human beings against their will? Your logic is insufficient.

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 10:29 am 10:29 am

I’ll be anti-abortion the exact second that I no longer have to be anti-foster care.

Posted by: moderator1 | October 22, 2010, 10:30 am 10:30 am

Since when is a platform NOT a platform because it against an existing law? Last time I checked, there are a lot of candidates platforms that are to change existing laws. Your logic is insufficient.

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 10:33 am 10:33 am

abortion is NOT a political issue and should be put back where it belongs – in the doctors office between the doctor, the woman and [hopefully] the man. IF they want to make abortion illegal, how about arresting the MAN that contributed to the pregnancy being arrested? You only hear about the doctors or the women committing the crime. Sorry, but it requires a MAN to GET pregnant. It is and always has been a medical issue. Therefore, anyone who wants to make it a crime, in my view, violates the doctor, patient rights [HIPA] and the woman’s right to privacy

Posted by: kay | October 22, 2010, 10:39 am 10:39 am

CND FOX,
49% of voters are not supporters of abortions. So what you are saying is they are all irresponsible and narrow minded because they don’t believe the same way that you do?

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 10:41 am 10:41 am

Kay,
Your logic is insufficient. If there is a LAW that makes abortion legal then it IS a political issue. LAW’s are made by POLITICIANS.
Also, your second argument is saying that what happens between a doctor and a woman is private and therfore always legal? Again, your logic is insufficient.

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 10:46 am 10:46 am

We are subjected to graphic, horrific displays of death every day on TV. Why is this any different? Could it be because we are ashamed that we have made this legal?

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 10:56 am 10:56 am

My point is that there should NOT be a LAW regulating what is essentially a medical issue. My right to Privacy is absolute. I just want the politicians and lawyers etc OUT of my private life and decisions that are not going to effect society as a whole. If I want to have an abortion, that is MY decision and as it does not effect society, should be private. If I want to rob a store – that affects society as a whole and is therefore subject to LAW.

Posted by: kay | October 22, 2010, 11:06 am 11:06 am

Kay,
The same argument could be used to kill your born children. Your right to Privacy ends when it effects other Human beings.

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 11:10 am 11:10 am

WOW – jbro – that stretches things and shows your feelings. THere is a huge difference between abortion and murder in my view since most of the fetuses are not viable out of the womb. In fact, I have non-Christian friends who do not understand the argument. It is a child at birth. Once born, then it is murder. It has taken a breath. Again, this is a medical procedure first. Each person ways their PERSONAL feelings in making a PRIVATE decision. SOmeone who is opposed because of their religious views should not make a law that says I must abide by their view over MY body.

Posted by: kay | October 22, 2010, 11:21 am 11:21 am

Kay,
And I forgot to add, the child that is growing inside a woman is the result of the woman’s egg being fertilized by a man’s sperm. It is NOT just the woman’s DNA that is growing inside her it is ALSO the man’s DNA. The baby has it’s own UNIQUE DNA. Therefore even if you don’t subscribe to the fact that it is the babies life you are affecting with your decision, the decision is affecting the biological tissue belonging to the man and therefore the woman no longer has the sole right to abort it just because it is growing in her body.

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 11:32 am 11:32 am

Someone mentioned that abortion is helpful to those that are “less fortunate”. How does ripping a baby to pieces help anyone? There are many birth control methods available to prevent a pregnancy. And please don’t say “What about rape or incest?”. I have a cousin that is a result of incest and I could not imagine life without her. The act of rape and incest is the crime, not the child. Look at the women in some parts of Africa who are raped by militant thugs and subsequently have their babies. Those women love those children and raise then in spite of the rape. Why? Because it is a precious life from God regardless of how the child came here.

Posted by: lanta22 | October 22, 2010, 11:45 am 11:45 am

Kay,
So with your “breathing means life” argument, you must believe that we should never try to resuscitate someone who is not breathing because they are no longer a human being? This argument makes no sense and therefore is invalid.

Posted by: jbro | October 22, 2010, 11:48 am 11:48 am

It is very immoral that liberal progressives champion the rights of life of smelt in the San Joaquin Valley and have shut off all the water to the now jobless farmers and support genocide of human beings. Over 17 million Black babies have been aborted since progressives put forth the genocide.

Posted by: Downwithsocialism | October 22, 2010, 12:31 pm 12:31 pm

“jbro”…in reply to your 10:41. That is not what I said at all and you know that. The irresponsible part is allowing an “subjective feeling or belief” to gum up the political process on something that will NEVER change. The law of choice has been decided. Rational, educated people should acknowledge that and accept that and go on. Their are many other ways of “positive alternative support” that these “believers” can offer without screwing up the political spectrum with “one dimensional” candidates. And quite honestly…I doubt that 49% number based on the “context” of how that question was asked.

Posted by: CND FOX | October 22, 2010, 1:08 pm 1:08 pm

No Just because a person has stopped does not mean resuscitation is not permitted. That is up the person -if they have a DNR then THEY made the choice. We abided by my mother’s choice and did not resuscitate when she stopped breathing. The argument is that the fetus has NEVER been viable out of the womb. If you believe it is a living child at conception then that is YOUR choice, but do NOT force it upon me. Also, you appear to ignore the fact that I ACKNOWLEDGE the man as a part of the decision making in the first post. However, most times the man is not in the picture. BY the way, the woman running this ad HAD abortions and now wants to deny everyone else the same choice. You see, I am PRO CHOICE – each person has the right to choose. Hey even Sarah Palin made the CHOICE to keep her child with DOWNS. Why shouldn’t every other person have the same right? That is what I am trying to say.

Posted by: kay | October 22, 2010, 1:18 pm 1:18 pm

why do people fall for the antiabortion bit?? There has been several republican presidents in office for more tha n a combined 20 years yet they did nothing to end abortion. I am not for abortion, it is a cruel practice and it s unfortunate that so many young people see it as a back up to pregnancies as a result of casual sexual relationships, etc. BUT like i said, all the republicans that have taken office havent made good on their “promises” to do something about it, of course if they did, how would they get any support for the next campain?

Posted by: shut_up | October 22, 2010, 2:33 pm 2:33 pm

If CND FOX had her way, settled law would have kept institutional racism because it was already decided in the Dred Scott case…
You can’t have it both ways… unless of course you are a bleeding heart liberal, who supports abortion AND the slaughter of brown people in foreign lands, ironically supporting “freedom and democracy” where 51% of the people can decide to take away your inalienable right to LIFE, liberty and property… If you don’t have a right to exist, ALL other rights do not exist as well…
God help us if the only way we had to avoid unwanted pregnancy was to be personally responsible and not risk a potential birth unless it was with somebody we gave a damn about in the first place! Perish the thought…
Bars, and college campuses (or “date/gang rape concentration camps” as some in the left refer to them… would NEVER be the same!)

I just saw the ad on TV. I couldn’t turn away. It is awful!! no matter your stance on abortion, would you vote for someone who has such poor judgement as to air pictures like that at times when your young children could be exposed to those graphic, horrible images?

Posted by: KZEngineer | October 22, 2010, 4:03 pm 4:03 pm

this isn’t what abortion looks like.. Sorry YOU are WRONG!
How many abortions are allowed past first trimester?
And what happens when a woman becomes a slave to her uterus?
Yes, we would go back to the good old days.. when women had no rights.. none

It was on my FOX affiliate at 4:00 this afternoon. It’s totally inappropriate that this has to be on the air with young children watching. I’ll vote for whoever is against her — doesn’t even matter who it is.

A woman’s choice is her own.I personally do not believe in abortion.I find it detestable even in dire circumstances.But I have no right to tell a fellow woman what to do with her body.It is a choice that a woman has to make and they have to live with.I do not agree with the ad.Show it after 9PM for all decency!!!!My kids see enough horror,do not force them to see anymore!

Posted by: Elizabeth Carlson | October 22, 2010, 4:46 pm 4:46 pm

No way. Regardless of the regs…this is just beyond. If networks (except for the pay networks)can’t show exceedingly violent or prurient content before a certain hour or at all–THEN WHY THE HELL IS THIS OK? I get the 1st Amendment implication, but allowing people this level of access with this sort of material is inconsistent with general standards. And believe me, if you haven’t seen this ad, your comment isn’t worth bupkus.

Funny how people can create the bloody mess but feel like someone has done them wrong if they have to see what they did. i.e., woman sues a hospital after her fetus was left in a jar where she could see it. Too bad the baby could not sue her for murder!

Posted by: Lisa | October 23, 2010, 8:27 am 8:27 am

Two things I must say. 1.) This is no more graphic than the Terminator movies, or shows with violence, or even the nightly news. Talk about violence, a kid watches the news and while they may not always see the pictures they hear dozens of horror stories, because the media hates sharing anything positive and risk losing ratings.
2.) Whatever happened to the “Treat others as you want to be treated.” law? The “law of choice” is a self-centered, it’s all about me style of thinking, which is why our nation and world in general is in a decline. Everyone wants what is best for themselves no matter if it hurts someone else or not. “Its what I want, its all about me.” It is really sad. You want to know why we don’t have “world peace” because people think everything is “all about them” and they are selfish. If our eyes turn to God and we give up our selfish wants and think about what God would want, and what would be better for the other person rather than ourselves, then maybe just maybe, we can start to make the world a better place.

Posted by: Summer | October 23, 2010, 8:30 am 8:30 am

It is also funny to me that people are saying, “these photos were just chosen for shock value” and are so against this video. Why are you against the video? Because you can’t handle the truth. Plain and simple. Abortion = ending the life of an innocent child. (Regardless of what has happened in the life of the mother, that is what it is.)

Posted by: Summer | October 23, 2010, 8:34 am 8:34 am

The First Amendment must apply to everyone or it means nothing. Censorship has no place in America. The best censor is your remote control. Now having said that, it always amazes me how cultural conservatives attempt to force their religion upon someone else in direct violation of the same First Amendment. If your religion tells you that abortion is murder, then don’t have an abortion. But don’t force your religion on someone else because if that precedent is set, what happens when another religion(s) becomes the majority? Be careful what you wish for. You just may get it.

Posted by: BobVADemHawk | October 23, 2010, 8:40 am 8:40 am

no matter how hard you try, you can’t change the fact that abortion = dead baby. it’s a biological fact.

Posted by: GrabAClueor2 | October 23, 2010, 8:42 am 8:42 am

typical liberal response, hide or censor the consequences of their actions when it suits them. Liberal reporters and photographers are running all over Iraque and Afganistan looking for violent pictures of atrocities against the civilian population. Abotion kills unborn babies, but because it doesn’t servie their agenda you can show the violent atrocities commited against soon to be born babies.

Posted by: ca ghiotto | October 23, 2010, 8:44 am 8:44 am

Posted by: navyenduring | October 23, 2010, 8:47 am 8:47 am

Wow! Saw the ads and they are overwhelming. First, abortion is an issue for each state to decide. Second, abortion has been proven as an effective way to reduce violent crime. Most violent crime occurs in inner cities populated with the less intelligent. Making abortion readily available to these communities reduces the excess underclasses that are prone to violence. A win/win for society as a whole.

Posted by: mojo_jojo | October 23, 2010, 8:47 am 8:47 am

Why restrict the children from seeing this? don’t you parents let your children play the most violent and graphic video games? Oh but that is different. It occupies them so you don’t have to parent

Posted by: navyenduring | October 23, 2010, 8:49 am 8:49 am

From its genesis, Planned Parenthood’s goal was genocide. Abortion was never about choice for women; it was always about killing large numbers of minority babies so that the percentage of blacks in America would remain small. They have succeeded.

Posted by: apodaca | October 23, 2010, 8:52 am 8:52 am

Furthermore, we are also reducing the dependency on already overwhelmed social services. Since the group I referenced earlier, the underclass, is a huge drain on society we should encourage every effort to reduce the burden they are putting on our social infrastructure. Not only do we reduce violence but we also eliminate the squandering of our resources.

Posted by: mojo_jojo | October 23, 2010, 8:54 am 8:54 am

It’s about time people were confronted with the reality of abortion. These little babies feel pain as they are being torn apart. They bleed, their bodies burn. Anyone who did this to puppies or kittens would be sent to jail. Get real, people. Abortion tortures and kills innocent babies.

Posted by: LoisLane | October 23, 2010, 8:55 am 8:55 am

It was images such as those shown in the ad that converted me from a pro-choicer to anti-abortion in one evening. In one evening I leadrned that abortion is not just some sanitary exercise where a lump is removed. The process literally butchers a small under developed child. What’s really horrifying are the people that think that late term abortion is just peachy.
I’m personally not opposed to any comercial showing something thats any less graphic that what is already being shown on that station. If the station is showing a blood and gore movie, whats the problem. If its showing Shreck, then you have a reason to object.

Posted by: Sean | October 23, 2010, 9:03 am 9:03 am

saying it’s a means to help poor families is sick. You’re poor so go ahead and kill your baby so you don’t have to pay to raise it. What is so magical about the vagina that on one side you can kill it and it’s a ‘choice’ and on the other side if you kill it, it’s murder?

Abortion should be correctly referred to as infanticide. Pro-choice is another liberal term used to insinuate that if you let your child live you aren’t exercising choice. The choice is there not to have sex, the choice is there not to kill your child. The only person whose choice matters when it comes to ending life is that of the person whose life is in question.
If the depiction of infanticide is so shocking and disgusting what does that say about the act itself. You must have serious pyschological problems to justify the violent murder of a child.

Teresa: “abortions are a way for parents who are less fortunate,. abortions are helpful…” Well, then if they are hurting for money why not kill off grandpa and grandma or uncle ralph if they are living in the same house. It’s all the same as killing an unborn baby in order to save money.

Abortion kills human beings and these videos show it. “CND FOX’s justification of killing 50 million is “howm many world wars we be up to…just trying to reduce those numbers.” …really!!!!

I don’t believe she has any chance of being elected, especially after this, but I don’t think that was her point. The majority of the American public believe that an abortion is of a tadpole like mucus plug inside a woman. And I believe she felt she needed to raise awareness of what really happens. It’s not, most abortions are of nearly developed fetuses, and the Mother is not aware, and the Father has no option to raise the child as a single parent if he chooses. The over population issue is separate, and should be addressed prior to conception. There is a private group that offers $500.00 plus a free medical procedure to be sterilized, I say make it $5,000.00 and fund THAT with tax dollars, plus offer 1 year of free college tuition. The religious issue should be taken off the table, because we don’t all practice the same religion, but the humanitarian argument is not debatable, it is a fact that aborting a pregnancy is killing a child, the fact that in most cases it won’t survive on it’s own out of the womb makes it no less killing a child, anymore than killing an 8 yr old that required medical treatment. If she changes the mind of just one person with these ads, then it was worth making a few people uncomfortable with their own lack of humanity.

Posted by: Paul | October 23, 2010, 9:20 am 9:20 am

Face it this is choice. For some reason we are compelled to watch endless grotesque and barbarous acts in ads from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals about the mistreatment of animals but the left cringes when their inhuman sacrament is displayed in raw and clear pictures.
They are just like their brethen in Germany in 1945 when marched through the death camps after the war claiming they didn’t know but they knew and didn’t care.
The long discredited Malthusian idiocy articulated by the blood thirsty, vile anti-human creeps above is repulsive and based more on personal evil than fact.

Posted by: Rufus Choate | October 23, 2010, 9:22 am 9:22 am

I also understand the other end of this, in some cases the Mother feels she has no option, and she also believes she should be able to do whatever she wants with her own body. What I find amazing are you people that justify it in such an impersonal way, and even compare it to what happens in war. War is something that you as an individual have absolutely no control over, abortion is a very personal, and in many cases a very difficult and life changing decision that a woman makes in the deepest most isolated part of her heart, alone.

I am sure the great people of Gemany were saying the same things about the Jews when they were led to slaughter. “I am sure they would of grew up to be bad people”. “We already have to many people on this earth”. I would say that if you give the right to people to kill with abortion then you can give that right for anything. What you people don’t know is, this is just the start, wait till is ok to kill anyone that doesn’t “fit” the perfect citizen. It started with birth control, it move to Abortion, next it will be the disabled and the elderly, then it will be the poor. Learn from history people!

OK – so let’s all cover our eyes and close our ears to TRUTH. Facts don’t matter do they? By any standard the baby in the womb is a person. How many working brain cells do you need to come to that conclusion? Those who have commented here who are for baby killing can rationalize all they want. Many more wars. Who knows how many perverted minds would have been born, etc. But you still have to deal with a basic, fundamental TRUTH – the baby in the womb is a person and deserves protection. Why would a baby in the womb not deserve protection and you do? What gives you a stronger right to be protected? What if someone came along and said the world would be a better place without you. It would have more room. Have more food. Have more medicine, etc. We can “improve” society by eliminating you. What gives you the right to declare “protection” for yourself but not the person in the womb?

Those who are pro abortion (choice) legitimately raise the issue of the real challenges mothers face with an unexpected pregnancy.
However, they seem to refuse to openly and honestly address the reality of what happens in an abortion. Why?

Posted by: Jim | October 23, 2010, 9:43 am 9:43 am

Funny how the knee-jerk liberals get upset over these videos. Why? Seriously, think about it, why? Are they doctored, photoshopped? Are they lies? If you are pro-choice, then be proud of your accomplishments. Let the videos be aired. Geez, don’t hide your achievements. So the videos are worse then the actual action? Typical liberal thought–the actions are not bad but calling me on the action is bad. What the?!??! Some of the comments on here are outright silly. The Founding Fathers were the most liberal of their time. You should check your facts and see what they thought about life. Just because you say something doesn’t make it true.

Posted by: Billy | October 23, 2010, 9:48 am 9:48 am

Liberals are a funny breed. I’m reading the comments here and the arguments are truly pathetic. What about the death penalty? They’re going to compare a grown person who had a choice and knew the consequences to an unborn child who never was given a chance to make a decision? And then they bring up the poverty argument. So I guess instead of giving the child a chance in life we make the decision that the child would have rather been dead than live in poverty? Who are we to be making these decisions? It’s murder, period! If you have a problem with these images you must have a guilty conscience about supporting this practice. If you’re not then you should be proud when you watch this. So go ahead rub your noses in it liberals. Take it in because this is what choice is, well at least for the mother anyway. Who cares about the child, they’re just an inconvenience that got in the way.

Posted by: Tommy | October 23, 2010, 9:48 am 9:48 am

Good, they need to air an actual partial birth where the evil doctor is sucking the brains out of the baby. This candy coating the baby murderers have given (abortion) premeditated murder (genocide) of the unborn needs to end.

Posted by: Regulas | October 23, 2010, 9:49 am 9:49 am

Death penalty argument noted on here is illogical. Let’s see…why is the person probably on death row? I’m sure it’s because they did nothing wrong except try to grow as a human being like the unborn fetus. You know those darn murderous fetuses! Probably should learn about analogies, comparisons, etc. before posting such drivel.

Posted by: Tom | October 23, 2010, 9:51 am 9:51 am

Just let the babies be born and put them in a closet to die without disturbing anyone. That would be acceptable, right? Why stop with fully formed and alive unborn children. Maybe the ones that aren’t doing well in school, or the ones that kill cats. What about adults? We could surely stand to lose the less productive members of society that can’t pull their own weight – I know a few at work who would qualify. That’s exactly what George Bernard Shaw advocated – remember him? A champion of the RadicalProgressiveLiberalSocialists we have running our government. How about this – find out exactly what an abortion is, or how “formed” a fetus is and then see if you think it’s OK to kill it. Have an open mind. Somewhere between the morning after pill and an 8 1/2 month fetus, there is a line. Where should it be?

Kudos to Missy Smith! It’s about time the sunlight shines on what abortion really is. The politically correct news media has sheltered Americans from this for too long, desensitizing us to what is really happening. Many of you posters are angry at her for running these ads. Remember, she was one of you once. She was on your side. There is no better clarity of thought than someone who has done wrong and repented. The excuse that you are protecting the baby from some horrible life is not yours to make once the baby comes into existence in its mother’s womb. The graphic nature of the video is the only way to remind us to avoid this horrible act – nothing else has worked the past 40 years. If you progressives, Marxists, socialists, and liberals don’t like it or don’t agree with it, TOUGH! TOO BAD! TRUTH HURTS, DOESN’T IT! We WILL end abortion in America one day. Go somewhere else if you want to practice this grave evil

Woman have a right to choose:
Whether they spread their legs or not.
As soon as their choice involves an innocent, unborn human life they are obligated to see that life to birth. At that point, if you don’t want the child, put him up for adoption.
I’m not extremist–I have no problems for exeptions in the case of rape, incest, or risk to a mother’s life.
We need to stop pretending that abortion is an acceptable form of birth control and that somehow this birth control choice is more important than human life.
It’s time to grow up and be responsible adults. When sex is a choice, then you should assume the responsbilities that go with that choice. If you can’t handle it, grow up, stop acting like an animal and control your impulses.

Posted by: TIM | October 23, 2010, 10:15 am 10:15 am

To babyMuslim who said: “I saw the ad….its very clear that the photos they selected were for shock value. They are all of apparently late term abortions and they provide no background as to why they were aborted…medical issues, etc…some look more like still births. I can easily google photos of dead babies and claim there were all abortions. Would you be able to tell the difference?”
Your question has the answer within it babyMuslim…there IS no difference between a baby who dies during a normal birth and one who dies during an abortion. Does it really matter WHERE these photos came from? An aborted baby looks the same as these. Period. If they shock you, GOOD! They are supposed to shock you! Remember, this lady once thought like you! She had TWO abortions. But she listened to the nagging in her heart, the same nagging you are feeling when you are “shocked” by the images. Listen to your heart’s quiet tugging and change your mind on this issue before you end up with the horrible emotional feelings that nearly all mothers of aborted babies feel.

Posted by: FairTaxGuy | October 23, 2010, 10:18 am 10:18 am

Glad they are showing the results of abortion. If more see it and know the horror, we would outlaw in USA. Slavery was once legal and we got rid of that. Lets get rid of 3 million abortions a year. Get ready for blow back people. If we slaughter our own, it shows we are capable of real horror.
1 BILLION worldwide every 20 years.
Youtubeoogle are cowards for pulling the ads. They can promote all other kinds of filth, but won’t show Americans the truth about the slaughtering of their own people.
Yes woman are killing themselves over this.
Jesus Christ loves and forgives. I met a woman who killed 4 of her own….now she is saving others. She still is in pain, but she is working through it.

Well someone mentioned that it should be aired later so “that families couldn’t see it”, well considering how young a girl can be to have an abortion, I’d say it pertains to families as well. You libs claim to have an open mind, so why don’t you let these women make a well informed decision by seeing both sides of the issue?

Posted by: Josh | October 23, 2010, 10:22 am 10:22 am

To kay who says: “Each person ways their PERSONAL feelings in making a PRIVATE decision. SOmeone who is opposed because of their religious views should not make a law that says I must abide by their view over MY body.”
Society has a right to determine what is good for it and what is not. America was founbded on Judeo-Christian values. We value life and believe it starts at the moment of conception. The minority who does not believe this way has no right to force us to accept this in our American culture. If you want to believe that a baby is not a person until it takes its first breath, go live in another country. We ARE going to eliminate abortion in America.

Posted by: FairTaxGuy | October 23, 2010, 10:24 am 10:24 am

The reason this ad is horrific is that when we see the images of aborted babies, our conscience can no longer deny they are people. That makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but people defending this “procedure” should at least know what it is and the result!
My mother-in-law also had an abortion in her late teens and it’s the biggest regret of her life. She had the same experience- they told her it wasn’t a baby, just a procedure…etc.
At the very least, women (many of whom are just teens) who are choosing to kill their unborn children shouldn’t be lied to. Abortion isn’t just the murder of the baby, it’s often emotionally devastating for the mother when she realizes what she’s done.

To CND FOx who said: “The topic of “abortion” which has all ready been decided by law shlould be REJECTED BY EVERY RESPONSIBLE VOTER IN OUR NATION as a non-issue when it comes to a political campaign.”
Wrong. Abortion was NOT decided by law. No representaives of American people ever crafted, debated, and voted on a law legalizing abortion. Abortion was decided by several activist judges on the Supreme Court who ignored America’s founding principles to protect life, especially that of the most vulnerable.
If abortion were ever decided by law, it would be banned, because a majority of America opposes abortion.
Also, your settled law argument falls apart because many unjust settled laws were later overturned by new laws correcting the mistakes, as well as by different Supreme Courts correcting other mistakes. America WILL fix this unjust mistake and one day make abortions illegal. Remember, this lady, Missy Smith, once thought like you do! Don’t ever think that God will not pull you to that position one day. I hope that it does not take the emotional pain of two abortions to pull you over.

People have chosen to ignore the rights of other people. The courts have wrongly stated that unborn people are not people and therefore do not have equal rights to life. This decision must be overturned because it is wrong and the proof has been gathered and documented. But the story is not being told because people who do not care what the proof is want to continue their sadistic murder spree going and they are using the government to protect their “choice” to terminate another persons life. This is about equal rights for all people and about our laws protecting all people from those who would make the “choice” to end someone else’s life.

“If we overturn a woman’s right to choose because “all life is sacred”, should we overturn the death penalty because “all life is sacred”? The question is begging to be asked, why favor one over the other? Don’t they both belong in the same argument?” No they don’t.
1) An innocent child in the womb who is aborted is just that–innocent. The child could grow up to be a scientist, a Mozart, a productive citizen of society if given the chance to live freely. If he doesn’t and becomes a murderer society needs to have in place a consequence.
2) A murderer, by his wanton actions of murder and mayhem, forfeits his right to life when he murders another human being in cold blood. The death sentence for him is then appropriate.

Several weeks ago a video from Bosnia surfaced showing a 19 yr old woman taking live, squealing puppies in her hands and throwing them into a fast moving river where they obviously died from drowning. There were not very many people coming forward to defend her “choice”… I don’t remember anyone saying… How many of those puppies may have grown up to kill another person… Or… How many of those puppies would have been raised in poverty… People were outraged, and rightly so, over the disgusting act of another person so arrogantly snuffing out the life of another. It is hypocrisy when our justice is more evident for puppies than for babies. Abortion is wrong, it is unjust, and it must end. One persons emotional or physical well being can not and must not interfere with another persons right to life. Neither their economic status nor some preconceived notion that someone will grow up evil.

We should all be working to educate people about what is moral, not just what is legal. Legal is “minimally acceptable” behavior; moral is “uplifting” behavior.
The government is there to protect us from each other; the church is there to protect us from ourselves. Don’t forget the distinction or think that happiness will spring forth from a government agency, a pill or smoke, or “just gettng yours” from the hog trough.
Grow up America; look in the mirror!
Be responsible for yourself!

Leaving rape aside, how about taking responsibility for your actions? You hop in the sack, you take the chance of getting pregnant. It’s not the child’s fault you played with fire and got burned. Hell, it’s easier to kill that child than get a driver’s license…thank you, Dems.
Jane: Clinton passed welfare reform and public schools suck. Plus, it’s NOT the role of gov’t, especially the Feds, to teach your child to keep their pants on…that’s YOUR role. As for “idiots”, apparently you’ve been asleep for the past 2 years.

How pathetic, these comments from so many people who simply consider these unborn children an inconvenient nuisance or mass of tissue. To be simply done away with because it is the easier way!
Google ‘baby samuel’, read the story from the photo journalist, and ask yourself if he is simply an inconvienent mass of tissue?

To all you pro-abortion people, your “logic” is retty neat. If you are reading this, your mom not only thought your life was worth something, but she (or someone else) spent years feeding you, wiping your butt, teaching you, and nurturing you in a thousand different ways so that you could grow up and argue that killing babies temporarily hidden from view by a couple layers of flesh is a noble cause. Are you for killing your own babies, or just those of people whose needs you’d rather not have to consider halping to meet? You hate pro-life people (and pictures of murdered babies) because you know abortion is evil, and we force you to either acknowledge that fact or try to rationalize away your sin. Of all human beings, you are the most blind and immoral. May God have mercy on you!

However you want to paint it, spin it, explain it, describe it, discuss it, or think it, abortion is the murder of human beings, plain and simple, black and white, there is no option #2. The only question on the abortion debate is: Do you or do you not support murder of humans?

‘Funny how these comical Tea Party conservatives don’t want to fund welfare, public schools and after school programs. They are against education on safe sex and pregnancy prevention for the children who are already here.”
Sure and what has safe sex education produced thus far? Let’s see. Rampant sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, teen pregnancy, welfare moms, increase of violence against women, high rate of depression among women, men with no sense of family responsibility etc. Why should men bother about a woman who drops her pants so quickly. There was a time in western society where morals meant something but that’s too archaic for heads full of mush from our public schools. Public schools etc are an utter failure with all the money dumped into public schools. Ever wondered why Asians do better. They usually come from intact,stable families with high morals of familiel piety. Western society threw God out the window, lost your moral compass and we see the results. You reap what you sow–check it out–it’s in the–the Bible.

If poverty is the problem, do we suggest killing the poor as the solution? The baby is not the problem, our selfish lifestyles are. 99% of abortions are for convenience (i.e. can’t afford a baby, not the right time, etc.) Abortion is the taking of a life, pure and simple. It’s never okay to kill the innocent to serve our own ends.

“Law of Choice”. Priceless. I love when people try to justify murdering a child by saying it is their “choice”. Unbelievable.

Your name says it all. The Tea Party movement does not take ANY position on social issues: not abortion, not gay marriage, not sex education. It’s only concerned with overthrowing the financial crooks and bullies in government. TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already. There is the same proportion of Democrats, Liberals, Blacks, Hispanics, etc. etc. in the Tea Party movement as in the general populace. It’s not a Republican movement or even a Conservative one. It’s for everybody.
Clearly, you’ve been watching MSNBC, which nightly tries to paint the Tea Party activists are right wing nut jobs, and deliberately ignores everyone in the movement who doesn’t fit the picture. Its use of highly edited film clips taken entirely out of context, and images of Democratic plants pretending to be involved in the Tea Party movement, to foster this fantasy goes beyond anything any other news network has ever attempted in this country.
Guess what? I’m a Liberal, agnostic, gay guy who thinks abortion sucks, and I applaud this woman for putting these commercials on. If someone had done this thirty years ago, this issue would have long since resolved.

I don’t know of any who don’t want public schools. For the most part, they want issues like abortion decided at the state level, and not the federal level.
I basically don’t have a stance on abortion, but believe each state should decide — like they should decide drinking age, speed limits, what foods to serve in school cafeterias, whether to have school vouchers, etc. Let California be California, let Ohio be Ohio, let Florida be Florida, and so on.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I think both sides are hypocritical: The right wants abortion to be illegal, but doesn’t really care about them once they’re actually born. The left says it’s an expression of freedom and there’s nothing wrong with it, but don’t show it because it really is “horrific.”
Between Discovery, PBS and TLC, I think we’ve aired just about every know medical procedure known to man — with the exception of abortions. Why draw the line there, if it’s just a victimless medical procedure?

Why should the ad be censored from family time? Please tell me why you think sexuality in general, homosexuality, violence, and other things that are lies should continue to be shown during family time, and yet…you do not think the actual truth of the slaughter of babies in the womb should be told during family hour?
The older folks were smart: “if the shoe fits, wear it.” If you can’t stand the truth about the horrendous suffering and death of these unborn children, maybe you should embrace it, and change your view on it to a view that matches your revulsion.
After all, how can anyone really support this wholesale slaughter of children? The west is dying because of abortion, along with women’s general unwillingness to bear children. It is a fact; we are not replacing our population, so future generations are lost, and the future of our society is lost.
We are actively being backfilled by people from 3rd world nations who are still willing to birth children.
Wake up folks. Stop blindly embracing a view without seeing the outcome.

To me, the feminist movement was NOT about women rebelling against men, but women rebelling against the obligation of motherhood. After all, the center of the nuclear family ISN’T the man; it’s the children. Both men and women were expected to live a certain type of life, to allow for the raising of their children.
Women rebelled, and actually gained the right to abort their obligation of motherhood.
But, it will come at a cost. With 50 million abortions, the structure of our Social Security and Medicare systems will simply no longer work from a mathematical perspective.
So, with abortion, women have gained a degree of freedom in their youth, but have sacrificed the type of retirement that their parents and grandparents were able to have.
For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.

The idea that killing those who were not allowed to see the sun, for the sake of “convenience” or “preventing the notion of overpopulation” [which NO ONE can prove exists, as oddly enough the population is still rising and yet we're still around...], to call such things as “Good” is inherently blinded to truth and fact.

Do not pretend you are even justified in this holocaust against infants on the basis of women’s rights. The murdered infant was denied that right – to live. This is not about women’s rights. Where were the rights of the unborn infant who ws a female and murdered via abortion? Answer me that, all you fools who know jack about the righteousness of God.

What’s so graphic and offensive about these ads, its a very common medical procedure where you don’t even need a parents permission anymore. I would think the doctors would be proud of their work and want others to see it. Everyone should be educated to this simple common procedure!
Oh, unless of course the liberals are admitting to the truth that these are real live human beings being sacrificed for selfish reasons to the detriment of those women having the abortion. I know of no woman who was happy and proud of her decision to have an abortion, it simply caused regret and heart-ache for many years afterwards. Abortion kills a living human being and destroys the soul of those involved. 2 wrongs do not make a right!

Posted by: DJ | October 23, 2010, 12:25 pm 12:25 pm

Abortion either is, or is not, morally wrong. There is no middle ground. If there is a God and He is the God of the Bible, it is wrong. If there is no God, then it really makes no difference whether you bear a child or kill him (or help an old lady across the street or axe-murder her) – everything is inconsequential in the end. Legally and logically, no one should be charged with murder for killing a woman’s unborn fetus is she can abort it with impunity. Stop judging by appearances and make a right judgment.

Please do not equate INNOCENT life ( baby in the womb) to death penalty which is also to protect Innocent life which was taken by the the person who is to be killed for violating some one else s life. And abortion is touted as helping women but a large number of abortions are for the following reasons-
- older married men who want to stamp out the proof of their cheating
- men who do not want to support a child
- fathers-step-fathers -brothers and step brothers who commit incest and want no proof of it so they can continue to rape the women/child in the the home.
So women are foolish to think that abortion is for their freedom it is for men to have unprotected sex out side the marriage and illegally and stamp out the child which is proof of their evil.

Abortion is the murder of an innocent human being. Enough said. No one can deny that a life is being ended. We’ll all find out one day what an absolute evil it is. I do not judge those women that have one. I judge the act however. The act in of itself is intrinsically evil. The woman may be under duress, the father may have left or forced her. Only God knows what was in her heart at the time and his mercy is greater than any sin. But as Christ told Mary Magdalen – “Go, and sin no more”.

Posted by: Robert | October 23, 2010, 12:46 pm 12:46 pm

I’d like to share a few other thoughts. First, the time to exercise choice is prior to conception, not afterward. The vast majority of abortions are motivated by the desire to avoid the consequences of pre- or extra-marital sexual relations. In this context, babies are thought to be anything from inconvenient to a burden too great to bear. Hence, one sin begets another. Secondly, no one has the right to condemn another person for their wrongdoing, since we are all (if the truth be admitted) great sinners. Abortion is a grievous sin, but so is murder, adultery, stealing, lying, disregarding the plight of those in need, etc. It should not be singled out as some special category of sin which is reprehensible above all others. Speak the truth in love.

It’s funny how “it’s a done deal politically and/or legally” is often used to shut off discourse and deny philosophical reflection. Obviously, might makes right.
And all of these “novel” ideas about overpopulation, the plight of the poor, and the moral equivalency of killing the innocent and executing justice on the guilty are merely rehashed (and baseless) excuses to again…shut off discourse with cliches and deny reflection on deeper issues like: When does human life start? Is it contingent upon exterior circumstances? Is justice merely economic leveling, or is equality inherent to every human person, regardless of stage of development or socio-economic status?

This is frightening. By the same logic why not exterminate homeless people or people with mental illness because they are likely to have a worse quality of life, a lower standard of living, live on welfare, ect? Whatever the disadvantages for children born into cruddy situations and their parents, it takes a pretty cynical and hardened mentality to think that everyone would be better off if they never existed. We as liberals are fighting for better health-care, better education, and better job opportunities for the less fortunate, but yet when some of us proclaim that it would be better if those same people were never born, how does that make any sense at all?

I have seen 3 large theaters filled to the brim with young people watching SAW I, II, etc… Jackass movies last week were in 3 shows at the same complex. Violence? How many of you saw horror via Holocaust documentarys when you were younger. I would think the violence against the unborn would shock you more than the convenience for the Mother. There are hundreds of families that want to adopt. “Extra children?”, like untermensch, right?

bajacala,
I don’t know of anyone who denies that sexual copulation produces children.
But I know of many who hide behind euphemisms for tortuous child killing, burying their head in the sand and refusing to acknowledge the atrocity of what they, with blood on their hands, enable.
I object to showing personal sex acts in public, not because they are atrocious, ugly, vile and immoral; but because they are personal.
On the other hand abortion, late term in particular, is not a personal endearing act of love; but is atrocious, ugly, vile and immoral. Bringing such acts into the clear bright light is a necessary to strip them of their euphemistic shielding and to show them for what they really are.
If you feign not knowing the difference between sexual intimacy of a loving couple, and the wanton, tortuous destruction of a human life, you are consort with devils.

Hey cnd fox,
It’s easy calling other people names as you sit behind your computer, there in Conneticut. It would be funny to see one of you smart people meet a “pathetic moron” like myself on the street. Long story short. I’d take your lunch money, just like high school.

The only reason these images are offensive is because everyone, at least at some level, realizes that they are of dead babies, not just clumps of cells.

What is wrong with you people? Abortion is murder plain and simple. And as far as a woman’s choice, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RAPE AND/OR INCEST, you make the choice when you decide to hop in the sack with someone. If the parents are unable to afford the child, there is an answer. It’s called adoption.
And to those of you trying to make the insane argument that abortion is the same thing as the death penalty – you’re conveniently leaving out the tiny little detail called INNOCENCE.
If you had an ounce of intellectual honesty you would realize how weak and empty all of your justifications are. You change the subject and resort to attacking the tea party and conservatives in general because you can’t win in the arena of ideas.
The silent majority has awoken and the tsunami is coming – hope you can swim.

Abortion is premeditated murder, period. If you dont want kids go get fixed. It makes be sick to my stomach that you idiots kill in the name of convenience. anyone who goes to get an abortion needs to be required to personally watch a late term or partial birth abortion. watch the brains and life get sucked out of these beautiful children. since abortion is more or less legal I think the dr.’s performing them should be held responsible and face capitol punishment for there crimes…makes you think…If you dont want kids and are too stupid to use contraceptives or refrain from sex you are indeed a moron. America has totally lost its moral backbone. It doesnt even stand up and protect its innocent…a sick,sick nation its becoming. No wonder we are rapidly degrading and will soon be a second rate nation. all we care about is ourselves..very sad.

Yes you have a choice. You can choose life for your child or you can choose death for your child. This is what death looks like.
Abortion kills a life, even NOW agrees. You have to decide if you are OK with killing people. Many of you are. Most who are against the death penality are pro-choosing death to babies. This is a consistant anti-life position. They also 100% have no fear of God.
The Death Penality respects life by putting to death those who take someone elses life by murder.
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! Deut 30:19 (The Bible)
It is your choice!

Posted by: Choose Life or Choose Death | October 23, 2010, 2:06 pm 2:06 pm

Abortion is nothing less than legalized murder of innocence! Why doesn’t anyone focus on the fact the woman chose to have sex and biology took over and now a child is conceived because of HER CHOICE? She chose to commit the act and it is completely unjust to kill the child for her convenience.

What it comes down to is you either get it or you do not. The Truth is “Abortion Stops a Beating Heart”

Posted by: Paula Noland | October 23, 2010, 2:26 pm 2:26 pm

Keep abortion hidden so we can keep murdering the most innocent of human life and justify it as ‘a woman’s right to choose’. Noone has the right to take an innocent life.
Hitler and Stalin were two of the greatest diabolical murderers of our time and yet the United States ‘legally executed’ 49,551,703 innocent babies since 1973 and labeled it as ‘reproductive rights’.
I love my country but am ashamed of the fact that we are worse than Adolf Hitler ever was.

Posted by: BamBam | October 23, 2010, 2:27 pm 2:27 pm

The easy acceptance of abortion is chilling. It shows how horror becomes commonplace. Rawanda, Uganda, the Soviet Union, Germany. How did people become accustomed to and even accepting of these genocides? Hannah Arrendt called it the banality of evil. Either that,or people, who make such heartless comments about babies minutes short of emerging into the world, are lacking something essential to civilized human beings. You don’t have to be religious or even believe in God to empathize with an innocent deprived of a life, something we all treasure. I think the wide acceptance of abortion is directly linked to the coarseness of life at the present time.

Posted by: don o'brien | October 23, 2010, 2:27 pm 2:27 pm

Wow, It is sad to see so many people being offended by the truth of abortion. All of these liberals, when faced by the truth, always result in name calling. America is on a downward spiral when faced with the death of innocent babies they are more concerned with how the world would put up with them. This is the absolute worst time in America and the world when we as humans disregard the beauty of life.

Amazing to me how many misinformed people there are in this world! You don’t like to see what an abortion really is? You don’t like the emotions seeing these innocent babies destroyed in the womb causes? You try to equate war with abortions? ridiculous! We DO NOT have the right to play God and “decide” to KILL an innocent child! It is morally reprehensible to keep this practice legal! Don’t want a baby DON’T HAVE SEX! Don’t like to see the aftermath of an abortion DON’T HAVE ONE!

Posted by: Michael | October 23, 2010, 2:29 pm 2:29 pm

Please do not equate INNOCENT life ( baby in the womb) to death penalty which is also to protect Innocent life which was taken by the the person who is to be killed for violating some one else s life. And abortion is touted as helping women but a large number of abortions are for the following reasons-
- older married men who want to stamp out the proof of their cheating
- men who do not want to support a child
- fathers-step-fathers -brothers and step brothers who commit incest and want no proof of it so they can continue to rape the women/child in the the home.
So women are foolish to think that abortion is for their freedom it is for men to have unprotected sex out side the marriage and illegally and stamp out the child which is proof of their evil.

Yes, indeed, abortion is a graphic business. It’s the murder of human beings, each one unique and beautiful and precious. The most dangerous place in America is a mother’s womb. Thank God somebody isn’t afraid to tell the truth. Planned Parenthood’s bloody business is tax-payer supported, and I, as a taxpayer, am against the use of my money for the slaughter of humanity. Livestock get more consideration in this country.

Amazing, all you people offended by the thought of showing the results of legalized murder are hypocrites. Sex and violence are shown every day in prime time, I guess that is okay with you. If you have no problem with the act of abortion, you should not have a problem with showing the results.

Pictures are not always appropriate but they are difficult to argue with the truth they may starkly reveal. Matthew Brady,the civil war photographer, published his photographs of mangled and dead men. Thousands of people saw these pictures, causing some to questions the propriety of such images. One newspaper editor wrote it was like “bringing the bodies’ right to our doorstep and laying them out”. During all earlier wars only artists’ renderings of the fighting and dead had been available, now true-to-life pictures brought the reality to light. These babies, as long as they are out of sight, will continue to remain out of mind.

It’s interesting how pictures of dead fetuses offend. I remember back in the day when I was militantly pro-choice. I hated those types of photos because even it made my stand hard to justify even though I could rationalize my opinion on paper. I’m still not pro-life but anything after 8 weeks? NO.

Re: Jane Doe and others: If folks can’t afford to have babies, then maybe they should be a bit more careful about having “intercourse”…perhaps use a condom? Or abstinance? Why should an INNOCENT who has never harmed anyone pay the penalty for the parents lack of self control?
The difference between a criminal on death row and a pre-born fetus? INNOCENCE!!!
There isn’t sufficient time or space on this forum to debate the “we are all sinners” comment…and it would require a receptive mind in order to explain it to…I dont see too many of those here. Suffice it to say, it has something to do with “Knowing Right From Wrong”…

@mmc, who stated, “Two abortions and she was lied to both times! Give me a break. She needs to take responsibility for her choice.”
Certainly you are not serious, right? She needs to take responsibility for her choice? How about the women who get pregnant, even accidentally, take responsibility for their choice. That’s the ultimate root of this debate. Responsibility. You want to do the deed you should have to face the responsibility of what may happen. The fact that you can casually kill an unborn child for convenience is heinous. If the end result is so horrific to show on TV, should it still be permitted as a legal act in this nation? Is it not murder? Either it is horrific or it is not. You can’t have it both ways. I applaud her efforts to publicly show these images to America. Maybe it will get enough people to see abortion for what it is; convenience murder, plain and simple.

Posted by: John | October 23, 2010, 3:40 pm 3:40 pm

@raggmopp: Abortion should be overturned because the unborn don’t have any choice/say in their life or death. We should not overturn the death penalty because the adult who committed the crime choose to do so under his/her own free will. There in lies the difference. A serial killer chooses to kill and has ample opportunity to live a good life. A unborn baby is not afforded those same “rights”.

Well stated in the Post by ca ghiotto Oct 23, 2010 8:44:38 AM. Exactly what I was thinking. Didn’t the media and liberal pundits fight to get all the images they could of flag draped caskets of American soldiers and show the “grim realities of war” during the evening news? As you stated, if the agenda suits them, these images would be permitted. 50+ million aborted babies since Roe v. Wade. How sad and barbaric. Less than 5% because of rape, incest, or medical complications. The abortion rate in several NY counties (Bronx, Brooklyn, etc.) is higher than the number of children born. For every 1,000 pregnancies in the Bronx 900 are aborted. Tell me that isn’t depressing. Only one of many societal problems that deal with personal responsibility. Don’t do the deed if you aren’t ready to accept the outcome.

Posted by: John | October 23, 2010, 3:51 pm 3:51 pm

To raggmopp, how about one is innocent and the other is a guilty serial murderer. Jails take away freedom. Are you suggesting all should go jail or just the one’s who are guilty or no one goes to jail.

Posted by: Eagle35 | October 23, 2010, 3:55 pm 3:55 pm

Politics aside…abortion is in fact murder. But thats not the core problem. We as Americans are losing our concept of personal responsibility. Alot of people are now seeing abortion as a “panic button” option. Consequences are no longer in the thought pattern. How about this…if you can’t afford, support or handle a baby…DONT HAVE SEX. Wow. Simple. Too bad most of you can’t handle that, So go back to arguing about abortion and wasting tax dollars.

Does anyone stop to think that all of you pro-choice losers are all here? What about the choices of all the murdered unborn fetuses that didn’t have a choice? it’s easy to sit here and justify pro choice to suit your selfish lives. Abortion is murder, it is wrong, and someday we will all have to answer to God for what we have done while in the flesh, right or wrong. I personally dont want my taxpayer dollars funding murder. And don’t try to compare it to capital punishment. God said that while on earth we are to live by laws, and it is illegal to murder people. It should be the same for innocent unborn children who have done nothing, as opposed to cold blooded murderers.

Posted by: Lori | October 23, 2010, 4:13 pm 4:13 pm

To all you liberals I ask “Why the hoopla and hand wringing over showing a fetus?” Isn’t a fetus just a “product of conception”? What if she was against cholecystectomies and showed a pile of gallbladders? No one would care. The reason there is an uproar is because a fetus IS a baby and a gallbladder is just an organ. The concentration camps were not horrible until the images of the emaciated and dead victims started to appear. Liberals want to keep the images behind closed doors because they know how powerful they can be.

Posted by: PJ | October 23, 2010, 4:19 pm 4:19 pm

The only abortion i’m in favor of is post-birth late term abortion after being convicted at a trial by his/her peers of murder. We’ll just call it a recall and sending back to it’s manufacturer. I bet 90% of those in favor of infant abortion are NOT in favor of this kind of abortion. Go figure! The pure and innocent it’s ok to kill, but those convicted of heinous murder aren’t.

whats the problem here? why is seeing what an abortion is so threatening ?
It’s truth, it’s fact, it’s honest.
how can you support something you refuse to look at?
abortion was promoted because liberals wanted to control the black and immigrant birth rate… that’s another fact liberals don’t like to discuss.
the thing about liberal ideology that makes me unable to take it seriously, is that it is not based on facts but on “feelings”
it’s a hypocritical and childish ideology.
killing a fetus is OK but killing a murderer is bad
smoking cigarettes is bad but pot is good
hetro marriage is bad gay marriage is good

In the 1700s and 1800s slavery was the shame of this nation. Since the civil war segregation and racism has been our curse. Abortion now takes the place as our nation’s plague. And if a kid gets born we make sure there’s plenty of other scourges that will kill our precious ones. What is the rate of survival – kids that turn out to live a healthy, happy, productive life?

If you think this is a liberal vs conservative issue- you are wrong. Abortion kills people. “Which of those millions of dead babies would have been murderers?” Seriously? What a moronic statement. Abortion as birth control is a horrible idea. Just ask any woman who has had one how f-ed up they are for the rest of their lives. Go ahead! Ask your good buddy how she feels after having a few abortions! Its a disgusting practice and you “defenders” don’t have the courage to take a look at the mess left behind after this “choice”. Look at the ad. Babies should be cherished, not ripped and torn and dismembered from the womb.

Regarding the purpose of showing such graphic pictures.
A pivotal point in the Civil Rights movement was when pictures of innocent marchers being attacked by police dogs, fire hoses and billy clubs were aired on TV screens across America.
When the allies liberated the concentration camps of WWII, General Eisenhower made sure that the horrors found there were filmes, photographed and sent around the world so there could be no doubt about the autrocities suffered by those innocent human beings.
We are a very visual people.
If you have any doubt, check out the intensity of the reactions on this site stirred up by PICTURES and VIDEOS of what abortion does to innocent children.
Talk about slaying the messenger.
BTW, it’s notable that not one person disputes the authenticity of the ads. We all REALLY know what abortion does to innocent children- we just don’t want to have to SEE it…to THINK about it….to fee RESPONSIBLE for it.

Posted by: John Ryan | October 23, 2010, 5:39 pm 5:39 pm

Yes, very graphic, that inconvenient TRUTH isn’t it?
And to call it a “fetus” which is a direct Latin translation that means BABY.
To call it “abort” instead “ending the life” is all typical.
Change the name and it becomes confusing and okay.
But oh boy, confront people with the TRUTH and they become all defensive because even these politically correct morons know deep down inside that it is plain murder.

Actually, if you think about it, it is those who claim to be “pro-choice” who should be standing on street corners and/or displaying such images on TV commercials.
After all, they are the ones promoting such “choice” so they should be the ones making sure those who are contemplating abortion are FULLY informed.

“If we overturn a woman’s right to choose because “all life is sacred”, should we overturn the death penalty because “all life is sacred”?”
Perhaps because the murderer or rapist made a CHOICE to forfeit his or her life. It’s all about consequences…for murder or parenting children. You make choices and live with the consequences.

DWinMadison
Problem with your logic it that the murderer/rapist forfeits his or her OWN life.
In abortion (except in those cases when the mother also dies) the target of the abortionists (the baby) does not LIVE with the consequences. They are DEAD.

Funny how these comical Tea Party conservatives don’t want to fund welfare, public schools and after school programs.
We don’t mind a helping hand…a lifestyle, no. Public school? fine IF they teach, perform and not indoctrinate. As for sex, what’s wrong with abstinence? Perhaps if there were consequences from unwanted pregnancy there would be less of it.

if this is truth in advertising fair coverage needs to be provided for the bruised, torn, raped bodies of little girls – my sister was raped at 12 and I find it horrific that some self righteous person feels they have the right to force her immature body to carry to term… UGH
nobody likes it but its a lesser evil for people and they deserve the right to make their choice. it’s a cold cruel world they have to survive in and as another poster pointed out the republicans and conservatives are SHORT on sympathy and support for born children

The shallowness of the pro-abortion arguments is shocking.
1. Equating abortion and the death penalty? Do you understand the difference between innocence and guilt? You might as well say that kidnapping is the same as incarcerating a criminal since in both cases a person is deprived of freedom.
2. This country founded by liberals? This continent was a refuge for those who now would be charcterized as Christian fundamentalists. And the revolution was a reaction to overbearing government that taxed too much and without the consent of the taxed.
3. Don’t worry about abortions until there are no orphans? I have two dhildren with special needs adopted from a foreign country. Why? There are so few children to adopt in the U.S.
4. If you don’t belive in abortion don’t have one? Okay, and if you don’t believe in murder, don’t murder, but don’t object to other people committing murder. That makes as much sense.
5. Abortion is protected by an absolute right to privacy and right to control one’s own body? Then all laws proscribing drug use and prostitution are invalid.
6. The right to an abortion is the law and should not be the subject of political ads? It is precisely because the Supreme Court took a contentious political issue out of the proper realm of political debate by means of a contorted ruling that abortion continues to be one of the most divisive issues in this country early 40 years after Roe v. Wade.
Try a little thinking and not just knee-jerk reaction.

Why can’t the choice be whether or not to have sex? Are we no better than animals? Do we not have any self-control as a result of our highly developed brains? We can’t be that highly developed if, as a society, we choose to kill our unborn young in order to avoid the consequences of our decisions. Abortion is the ultimate cop-out… a human being’s life in exchange for convenience. Deny it all you want in any combination of terms, it’s legal premeditated murder.

A new human life in a womb is genetically distinct, and is a human, a baby, “fetus” being Latin for “little one”. He or she is guilty of no crime, has had no day in court, has not had his or her case decided by a judge and jury according to the rule of law. A convicted capital offender has.

To Kay and all the others who think that abortion is OK:
Abortion kills a human being. I think it is great that this candidate showed this ad. If you don’t think that abortions kill a human being, you are uneducated (to be polite). What is the image in an ultrasound? A blob of tissue? No, it is a baby moving around and sucking its thumb, smiling,feeling pain, kicking, getting the hiccups AND it has beating heart. An unborn baby is its own person with its own unique DNA- you cannot deny the fact that it is a baby If you deny this there is something wrong with you.

It’s sad that supposedly intelligent people use evolutionary conclusions that the baby in a mother’s womb is only tumor -like tissue when they don’t want it, but when they do, it’s a living child as yet unborn. Maybe videos like this will shock them to their senses so they won’t agree to carry out this madness in the future.

I am assuming they also think the boneless chicken they buy at the store just magically got there and wouldn’t want to post a video of a chicken being killed and plucked–the reality of the disgusting things we do to unborn innocent human babies should be seen so people wake up. I bet all you people railing against this would be OUTRAGED if we started freely aborting baby dolphins.

@jane – so you’re saying its better to be dead than poor? That’s disgustingly materialistic. Kids need love, attention and affection, food and water and a place to sleep. Surely there is enough of the latter in this country. It is the former which is sorely missing. Killing a child because it is inconvenient is despicable, especially when birth control is available for free. Those to irresponsible to practice safe sex are probably not going to win any parent of the year awards, but that doesn’t mean those children are better off dead. Two wrongs do not make a right. And finally: children are NOT burdens. They are an incredible and precious gift. The fact that we’ve created a culture where raising children is viewed as a hassle is worse than sad, it is evil. My definition of evil: “That which is in opposition to life.” By that definition, abortion and those who support it are as evil as it gets.

Sorry, i fail to see the problem. If a fetus is indeed just “tissue”, science and health channels show surgeries of tissue being removed all the time, often with graphic images of the tissue itself. On the other hand, if abortion is actually a baby being killed, maybe we should put a stop to it.
i guess it all has to do with what one’s agenda is.

Leftists hate being told they are naughty or bad. Their war on moral absolutes brought us Abortion and they NEVER want to face its results or impact. They will lie to themselves first then to all others to avoid the guilt they have that can never be killed. In the process millions of HUMAN BEINGS die. One of them could have been the amzing person who ended cancer or more but no…in the name of absolute selfishness they MUST have abortion.

Abortion – MURDER of innocent life out of convenience and because you don’t want to face your responsibility or believe that the situation requires it because some leftist counseled you into believing so.
Death Penalty – A completly avoidable penalty brought about by actions of a person requriing accoutability that the left does NOT want to have…they do not believe in accountability and some crimes are WORTH you FORFEITING your life because you have purposefully taken another.

So people are up in arms when the violent end of an innocent life is not reduced to the clean clinical hum of the liberal machine.
If you are going to claim support for a “choice” then “man up” and have the decency to inform yourself exactly what “choice” it is that you support. Perhaps if you are unable to face the whole truth of what you support then you really do not support it but like so many are “just following the orders of your commanding officers”.
But then again I would not eat meat if I could not stomach killing it and cleaning it myself. It seems disgraceful to me to be unable to acknowledge the full truth of how I live and what I support.
So face the truth of who and what you are. If you find something in that truth that you can not stomach then change it.

Maybe your logic that justifies killing babies could argue in favor of killing an equal number of murderers, rapists, drug dealers, traitors and serial pedophiles.

For those of you who are remarking that abortion is legal… that it is a way out for poor families… that it prevents the next Jeffrey Dahmer (brilliant, that one – not!) or that it helps prevent overpopulation – why don’t we take your argument to the next level? Kill all children 2 and under. Think of the money we’d save, the poor families we’d help, the unwanted children we’d prevent from being raised in this “terrible world”. (Forget for a minute that Harrod tried this one…) Well, why not? Because abortion’s legal but killing 2 year olds isn’t? Don’t go there – slavery and forced segregation were legal and that never makes them right. So – any rational responses to this?

You people are desensitized and brainwashed into thinking that it’s just a “choice.” Sure, it might be a choice, but everyone makes choices, or decisions, that can directly affect a persons’ life. Killing a human life, whether an unborn child or an adult, is just plain wrong. During the days of King Herod, abortion was a form of sacrifice to the pagan god, Baal. Why do you want to equate yourself to that of one sacrificing to a pagan god? Think about the facts of abortion and make an intelligent decision on the fragility of life in general.

I don’t think this advertisement should be shocking at all. It’s the reality of what happens when a baby is aborted. Gruesome, but true.
Just like it shouldn’t be shocking when a person from the wealthy west visits a third world country and sees the poverty there. That’s how much of the world is. Closing your eyes or pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t make it so.
I’m tired of seeing/hearing the “them vs us”/liberal vs conservative/democrat vs republican mentality. Pro-life is not a political issue. It’s a human rights issue. Someone who is pro-life should be against *both* abortion and killing innocent civilians in war. Like former presidential candidate, Ron Paul, for example.

I am pro-adoption, having given up my first born for adoption in my early twenties. I could have chosen an abortion, but I did not. Planned Parenthood shunned the idea of adoption when *I* presented it to them. Planned Parenthood strongly recommended abortion as my best alternative.
My husband is an adopted child, as is his sister. For anyone who says adoption is not a choice – I say shame on you. It is ALWAYS a choice, just not necessarily the easiest one. Yes you have to carry to term, give birth and then say goodbye. You don’t just go through a procedure. And you don’t just get over an abortion, either. People very close to me have opted for abortion and have regretted their decision(s). I am proud to say I do not regret mine.
I think of my first child, who turned 18 this year, every day of my life. I know I made the best decision I could based on circumstances at the time. I would not change my mind given the opportunity.
I strongly disagree with abortion as birth control, as is it nothing more than snuffing out a life for selfish reasons in that capacity. I can understand the need for it in extreme cases (rape/incest, to save the life of the mother, for example). Still… if adoption were promoted more as an option, I believe we would see less abortion in this world. I believe that would be a good thing, as would more personal responsibility and accountability in our society.

Yes, both can happen at the same time!
Thousands of well-heeled couples who can’t conceive would love to parent just one “unwanted” child. Most girls choose to keep their children, though, so we would work to help them with short-term expenses and long-term life choices that will help them make good lives for themselves and their families.
More children in the world means more laughter, more joy, and more happiness.
I just don’t understand those who can’t love a child and his mother at the same time.

@13Shades: I appreciate your stand for life. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there.
In my work with pregnant women, I learned that medical records show that Plan B, the Morning After Pill, etc., (your standard “morning-after cocktail”)can be harmful and even fatal for the mother.
If they were any other type of drug, there would be investigative reports, lawsuits, and howls to get them off the market. Not surprising, though, since they were rushed to market for political reasons and no long-term testing was done.
So much for caring about women’s health.
By the way, all of those drugs do sometimes “flush” the helpless baby out even after conception.
My nephew was a product of rape. He’s a mechanical genius and an outstanding husband and father. A gem to his mother as well.
He’s also the only child my sister has ever had (she’s in her 40′s). She and I are awfully glad he’s around.
Though a challenging situation for the mother, many childless families would love to adopt a child produced in rape.
And the mom could begin to overcome something so horrible by knowing she had helped bring something good out of it.

Ok ladies and germs…. calm down. I understand ur anti-life stance is evil, and nearly impossible one to defend. Just try to keep in mind that this Candidate didn’t actually kill these babies. Those that support the anti-life/pro-abortion movement did. So they r the ones that are offensive.
And abortion is not reserved just for the unfortunate or the poor. If u have $300-1,000 to drop on an abortion ur not poor.
I support Missy and I support these unborn children in their right to live. And don’t bring up the rape excuse, especially if u don’t have experience w/both of those situations. I have. And guess what Haunts me each and every day of my life….. not the rape.

Those of you who justify abortions, because the parents are poor and cannot afford them is the most ridiculous reason I have ever heard. People will not give up their babies for adoption, because they are too selfish. They had rather see their babies dead than see them be successful with another adult. What if adults killed other adults, because we decided some are too poor and we cannot afford them? You see adults have a choice, but little babies do not! Little babies cannot defend themselves against brutual dictating adults. There are some adults that do not know or understand how to have sex without getting pregnant. Spend your energy learning how not to get pregnant than having abortions.

If you support abortion, you already know what you are doing. Why would you be offended by some real video of aborted fetuses? If your child asks if you had an abortion, just explain it to them. Your children will learn about the holocaust in high school or earlier and see graphic photos from the time. Why worry?

ABORTION IS MURDER PEROID PLAIN AND SIMPLE AND IN THE END GOD WILL JUDGE MURDERERS-JUST BECAUSE THEY ARENT BORN DOES NOT MEAN THEY DONT FEEL PAIN
THE TRUE SILENT SCREAM

Posted by: Chris Lowe | October 24, 2010, 8:54 am 8:54 am

The reason everyone talks past each other on this is because of two radically different presuppositions: 1. The baby is not a person until it’s born (of course the same people who say that will convict a murderer of a pregnant woman with double homicide). 2. The baby is a person even before birth.
The onus should be on the abortionist to prove the baby is not a person. It’s just that simple. If no one can agree when life starts, then we should err on the side of life.
Of course people want the convenience to end the life of the unborn baby if they need to because of their lifestyle, and abortion is a very profitable industry.

I think the visuals of the aborted shud definatley be shown.Especially compared to all the second by second sex we constantly see and hear.Ya know,We can watch anything from open heart sergery to seeing an open body autopsy as public viewing.But when it comes to abortion…We don’t want to see…We don’t want to watch someone murder someone so precious.I ges it makes everything ok as long as we aren’t seeing it…right?Outa sight,outa mind.I don’t agree wit abortion but if it HAS to be legal…I think it shud be aired as much as Grey’s Antomy.We shud not lie but educate with TRUTH!

Posted by: Brian | October 24, 2010, 9:08 am 9:08 am

Poor should have nothing to do with abortions. A baby is a baby whether on the inside or outside of a body. Just think all of you who think it is OK to abort someone’s baby could have been that baby. God has named babies in the womb; So if He thinks they are human beings, so do I. As a christian, I don’t believe that we should pay for anybody’s child with tax dollars, Get help from your local church, as people used to do. When you have to have 2nd hand, you’re going to try much harder to get out of the situation. Women in this country can have 4 or so babies, as illegal women do when they get here, then they can sit back, not work and get cash for each child, Wrong! We make it too easy to be taken care of. You’re going to love this one; After the 1st child that the lady cannot financially take care of, I think you get the patch or shot, whatever temporary device to not get pregnant again for 5 yrs. If you cannot take care of your children, like Octa-Mom, then your child goes up for adoption to a loving family. There aren’t enough children to adopt in this country, because they are all being aborted. 2nd the lady having babies by tons doesn’t get any cash at all; If we have to, send her with a voucher to the 2nd hand store to buy clothes, & give her vouchers for food & doctor, etc. She won’t get pregnant the 2nd time, because there are no benefits to getting pregnant. Even Hollywood ladies get pregnant to snag the guy that they don’t even live with, then they get set for life. Now we understand why sex before marriage is not a good idea.

These are questions we need to ask. We can no longer avoid these discussions. If we as a culture can accept the murder of infants in the womb as a “right”, then our government will be free to dictate that a person is not “valuable enough” to receive a certain heathcare procedure because of the cost. Oh, wait a minute, we are there.

To JTDraper: Yes, this country was “started by the most…of their time” when the term “liberal” meant those who wished for individual liberty for each individual citizen. They would have included unborn individuals among those citizens. How the term “liberal” has come to define those people who want to take away individual rights and give them to groups of “victims” is one of the most amazing rewritings of the original dictionary meanings of the modern time (along with “right is wrong” and “left is right”, etc.).

Pictures of other gruesome atrocities are shown to provoke people to STOP the horror and cruelty. But many people want to attack the one trying to stop it versus the ones causing the horror to happen. As far as the objection to graphic material on tv…has anyone watched tv lately? It’s halloween season. There’s a huge church steeple parked on the side of a major highway with a bloody fake body is impaled on it. No one is doing anything about that. Abortion cuts to the heart of one’s heart that’s why people don’t want to be “faced” with it. I applaud Smith for admitting she was wrong and wants to really CHANGE!

You know, at some point, people have to take the necessary steps to reverse the brainwashing that’s been done to both men and women that an abortion has to do with “My body, my choice.” Nothing could be further from the truth.
The government is supposed to do its best to protect innocent life that has no means to protect itself. Clearly, it is not perfect at providing this protection, but it is a travesty that leaders of our country actually encourage the opposite. The vast majority of abortions (unwanted pregnancy, fraudulent excuses of poor life circumstances for the child, etc) are nothing short of wholesale slaughter of babies.
A baby in a mother’s womb is still human before birth and not just some tissue mass if the mother isn’t too thrilled about being pregnant. And don’t give me that tired line that if you’re a man, you don’t understand. I’m a father of 2, and though my perspective is certainly not identical to that of my wife, I have a very clear understanding of pregnancy as it relates to life.
I support what needs to be done to help people understand the truth and that a handful lifetime appointees made a horribly wrong decision in Roe v. Wade.

I don’t know why anyone would be offended by a commercial showing cells removed during a surgery. Oh wait, it’s because it’s a dead human baby that someone brutally murdered in the name of convenience. I could never trust the judgement if a person that thinks that kind of murder is ok. Oh, and to the fool that compared the death penalty with abortion, the argument is this: we oppose killing for convenience but believe that executing murderers is a fitting punishment. Because life is sacred, those who take it unjustly must be punished by the ultimate punishment. By the way, everyone believes in some types of killing. The question is who will we kill, the innocent or the guilty?

Abortion is nothing more than birth control for the selfish, the irresponsible, and the lazy. 99% of abortions have NOTHING to do with rape, incest, or the health of the mother. IT IS SIMPLE BIRTH CONTROL. Go out, get laid, kill the result. That is such a highly intellectual and admirable position to advocate.

All of the pro abortion comments here are simply empty headed selfish rhetoric.

Interesting how convicted, deadly, murderers are always compared to sinless, helpless babies.
It seems to me that we fought World War II to stop persons who killed innocent people who were “inconvienient.” But now we suddenly support the notion under “freedom of choice.” No matter what nice names you give it, abortion is still murder. Adolph Hitler would be proud of liberals. BTW, he also changed the German language to suit his purposes like the politically correct are doing today. “The only thing you learn from history is: Nobody learns from history.”

If this is what abortion looks like, then show it. It’s ugly. It is killing. (Even if legal). We need to stop making it so clean. Let people know the consequences of their actions. I paid for an abortion once, and not a day goes by that I don’t regret it. I wish it wasn’t an option because I would have had to man up and take responsibility for what we did instead of resorting to the murder of our unborn child. The child didn’t have a choice, we did. We were unwise in our choice.

The aborted kids in the ad would be, if “wanted”, premature babies. They were killed by saline infusion. This procedure involves injecting saline (salt) into the mother’s amniotic fluid. The baby swallows it (You know what happens if you drink seawater; you suffer for a long time, and die a terribly painful death).
Google Gianna Jessen. Her mother tried to kill her this way, but she was born alive. She is the most effective anti-abortion speaker around.
Rachel, the fact that you can look upon these kids and NOT have an emotonal respose show how deeply in denial you are. We wouldn’t kill a dog this way.

You know what pisses me off? As someone who is unable to carry a child to term, despite all efforts, I resent the assumption that all pregnancies necessarily result in the birth of a child. I have news for you people — a great number of pregnancies end spontaneously, so when you moan about the millions of people who were lost through abortion, keep this in mind. And, yes, it bugs me that women choose to end potentially successful pregnancies that I would have given anything to have myself, but my personal situation has nothing to do with theirs. It bugs me more that people, like many of the commenters here, feel they have a right to express an opinion, and to rattle of statistics, about something they know very little about.

Without Child – what makes you think we “know nothing about” abortion? We are the ones who have the facts about fetal medicine, fetal surgery, the fact that children of this gestation can feel pain;The statistics come mostly from the CDC – 1.2 million abortions a year, 50 million since 1973.
Pro-aborion folks haven’t got a fact to fall on – just desire and magical thinking.

Posted by: Helen Westover | October 24, 2010, 6:32 pm 6:32 pm

wow, to all the people who throw in reasons why abortions are OK….as long as YOU can justify it, its ok right? You try to twist peoples beliefs in the Bible to make the argument that the death penalty should be done away with if abortion were to be done away with? The big, no HUGE difference, is we as adults, to the last one of us, know the consequences of our actions. You commit a crime, you pay the fine/time, or in the case of especially heinous crime, you forfeit your right to live. People who do these things know, they just hope they won’t get caught and have to pay for their mistakes. 99% of the time, a man and woman who engage in sex and create a baby know the chances. The difference is that poor little baby that gets created is the only thing in this world at that moment completely untainted by sin (of it’s own making). Let’s not get into the whole “born in sin” arguement. It’s actually not difficult to figure it out if you actually stop and read the Bible once in a while instead of commenting on things in which you have no knowledge. Abortion is murder on demand. It is a business. It is FOR PROFIT MURDER of someone who has absolutely no defenses. Yes, if we get into the what ifs, we can come up with thousands of what ifs. Do you know that the woman that Roe Vs. Wade was based on didn’t even know she was being used as a tool? A tool to make abortion legal and the far reaching consequences of her part? She has been interviewed and bitterly regrets her part/involvement. Most people who have them aren’t told the truth. Most, though not all, usually regret them at some point. As pro-life as I am, as much as I would like to say that abortion is NEVER EVER ok, there are very limited circumstances in which I believe they are warrented. The immediate (physical) health of the mother and in cases of incest and rape. And extremely young girls (12 and under). Even a 12 yr old though could physically have a baby, give he/she up for adoption and go on with life. But for adults who choose to open their legs, then get pregnant and regret the outcome? They shouldn’t be able to use abortion as birth control. If they even knew that an abortion would be the result of having sex (which normal people do) then they should have chose to abstain or get themselves fixed.

Posted by: Coast2co | October 24, 2010, 6:42 pm 6:42 pm

All innocent life is sacred. Nothing more innocent than a baby. All your arguments for abortion are just as rational explaining the killing of one year old toddlers.
If slavery were still going on in the USA, would it be justified to show what was happening using pictures and film? Or would we be limited, not wanting to offend the sensibilities of those who no longer where offended by it, because they hid it from their view and did not want to think about it?
Everyone who thinks about it knows that aborting a child is wrong. I guess the trick is not being forced to think about it.

It is simply impossible to understand people who declare that abortion is a distraction from what should really be the political discourse of the day. Isn’t all politics rooted in values that we seek to characterize the ordering of our society – or is it just about money and power. Good grief! If abortion, which is considered murder by a huge segment of our society, is not a political issue, neither is the death penalty, women’s choice, etc., etc. Please take time to THINK!
Secondly, why are the images depicted suddenly gruesome???!! The majority of the comments on this matter are from people who consider the unborn child an unviable, tissue mass. If that is all there is, it no worse that seeing any other show with a little blood and guts – something we and most of our children are quite used to these days.
As another commentator points out above, the angered response is rooted in nothing other than coming face to face with the TRUTH!! If that hurts, it’s about time!!!

So, according to cold, heartless liberal commentors, it’s OK to kill babies, just as long as it is done out of sight. If you are so proud and OK with killing babies, why not see the results? It’s real, it’s ugly, and it’s murder. Deal with it!

Posted by: RedReader | October 24, 2010, 6:58 pm 6:58 pm

Some of these comments are amazing. People really need to do a little fact checking before they go on and on about underprivileged people needing access to abortions. Fact, the vast majority of abortions in this country are performed on affluent 20-35 yr old white women. For them abortion is then just another form of birth control. The poor and minorities are having their kids because our entitlement programs provide more for them with every new dependent.

Those of you who believe that abortion is justified in any way, should thank God that your parents did not avail themselves of this “solution”. There is no justification, or rationalization of murder. The horrific statements about how we are better off that these children were never born are outrageous. I speak as a father who was complicit in the murder of an unborn child and I deeply regret my role and will never again remain silent when people callously diminish the value of life. The truth is painful. We are rapidly becoming de-sensitized and if we allow ourselves to think of children as “tissue” or anything but what they are, marvelous works of creation, and yes that even includes those that we deem “abnormal”, we will suffer the consequences of our (warning, strong language alert) sin.

I am not so foolish to catagorize taking day after pills or abortions within the first few months with the dismemberment of children in the late second and third trimesters. I think there is a better way. Maybe the full development of the nervous system could be a cut off point? If you don’t know you want and abortion by mid 2nd trimester, then you aren’t being very conscious. The pain on the unborn childrens faces should be enough for any non-human hating human to empathize. You can’t just ignore the truth brough about by modern technology.

Posted by: ericdb | October 24, 2010, 8:09 pm 8:09 pm

MOre people should stand up and inform themselves in a first hand manner about abortion. Even if they never chose to have one or two or three or four – they are advocating for this “procedure” without understanding what is going on.
Maybe graphic. But a human being is very really being selectively and ddiscretionarily killed here.
So, what’s up with dinging this candidate. I say she is one brave candidate. And cares enough to do this – for all of our benefit.

All this talk about abortion. And then everyone accuses that safe sex doesn’t work, so hey, abortion is necessary. I have an idea: try abstinence! Believe me, it works. No unwanted pregnancies, no infanticide, no diseases, no children born out of wedlock or missing a parent who “wasn’t ready to be a parent.” Don’t get me wrong, I get that abstinence is tough – but it really does work (it has worked for me for 25 years). Let us not forget that it actually DOES reduce the world’s population in a healthy way. So pleeeeaaasse can we start teaching our kids the safest way out of all of these things and go back to abstinence? Then we wouldn’t have disease crises, abortions, unwanted pregnancies, etc. etc.!

This is such a tough call for all women. Of all races, ages, whereabouts and religions. I am pro-life/pro-choice. I did have an abortion way back in my young years. It was a matter of life and death. (so I was told). It’s been very hard to live with that choice. Had I have searched for other opinions and options, there may have been a different outcome. I see it from all sides. It’s sad that people take it to lightly and don’t look for those other options and some rules make it easier to do so. I want to be totally pro-life, but it’s such an incredible issue that there is no real simple solution.

I am a tea party supporter, and I do not believe in any way that our first mission is to “stop abortions”. The first mission is to stop the tide of socialism, communism and any iteration thereof.

If this type of commercial had been shown 35 years ago, maybe by now there would have been a Constituional Amendment to reverse Roe v. Wade and restore autority over abortion practices to state legislatures. Yes that ad is very graphic but it is high time to stop talking about the reality of abortion in fuzzy antiseptic terms such as “choice” or “women’s rights.” The “fetus” is a living human child tht is developing in the womb, not just a mass of unformed calls.. Most younger college students who talk about abortion have never seen one and it is impossible for any intellectually honest person to do so and fail to admit that an act of human homocide is taking place.

Certainly it is one where reality has no part. The reality of abortion is little unborn babies get mutilated in the most horrific manner imaginable, yet you defend this awful practice. Veeery Nazi of you all. Do you all support the eugenic origins of your movement? The one where the founders of Planned Parenthood wanted abortion as a means of ridding the world of “human weeds”?

“abortions are a way for parents who are less fortunate,. abortions are helpful, especially when the parent or parents don’t have any money. maybe they dont want to raise a child in poverty or maybe just maybe they want to keep their kid and not put him or her up for adoption. has anybody ever stoped and thought about it from that viewpoint?”
Every life is a precious gift, period!
Given this logic, would you say that it is appropriate for children that have elderly parents, and can’t support them financialy, should be allowed to euthanize them?
I have always been in favor of the death penalty, and there is a huge difference in an unborn child and a convicted murder/rapist. But given that option, I would be glad to do away with the death penalty, if it would lead to the ending of abortions in this country.

the term “pro-choice” is really misleading. “Pro-terminate” is more accurate since that’s the choice they make.
Plus, please stop with the poor inner city girl stuff, look up the statistics on the CDC.gov website. Most abortions are performed on affluent 20-34 yr old white women. i.e. its another form of birth control. Amazing that so many women will defend a barbaric procedure that is,for the majority, preventable with many other forms of birth control.

I’ve wondered why no news outlet or TV station has ever aired an abortion. Various cable channels – Discover and The Learning Channel – have in the past shown actual operations. They’ve shown the gruesome graphic details of heart operations and kidney replacements. Why not show an abortion. If there really is nothing objectionable about having an abortion, why not show one on television. You know, to educate the public that it’s not nearly as awful as all these right-wingers say it is. Just show it. 60 Minutes? Nightline? Please show an abortion and dispell the bad reputation they have.

Amazing to me how many on this forum try to justify killing babies. It’s quite sad. Next will be the justification for killing seniors. Then it will be the justification for killing handicapped. Then it will lead to the killing of anyone whom society determines is not productive.
Several posts are shocking. You want the government to pay for the killing of babies because YOU do not want to take responsibility to take care of those babies. It’s easy to pass it off as the government’s job.
My question for those who think killing people is beneficial is do you help anyone? Or do you just tell the government to do it? Government cannot do anything right. It is the most inefficient thing ever devised by people. This is regardless of party lines. We as citizens of this country should be in charge of helping those in need in our communities. WE know who is really in need and who is lazy. It is OUR responsibility to take of those babies NOT to kill them. But our society has become to stuck on themselves. Self-serving brats is the best to describe our country.
Reading these posts has convinced me that it is true that if people are told the same thing enough times they begin to believe it. You’ve been told that babies are not human so much you really believe it. Go to a killing clinic (aka abortion clinic or pro-choice clinic) and watch the baby being killed just once. If that doesn’t change your thinking, then you really are hopeless and without a conscience.

Ms Smith’ ad shows that abortion is murder. Plain and simple. This is the kind of thing that PRO-CHOICE people don’t want anyone to see. RE: Death penalty – A truly sensible person who respects life understands that the state should not be able to take a life. Life in prison (solitary confinement) without parole is sufficient punishment in lieu of the death penalty. If a murderer is put away and never gets to talk to another person for the rest of their days, they are alone with their own thoughts 24/7 – that’s real punishment – not the “escape” offered by the death penalty.
To the person who chides the Tea Party types for opposing various social welfare programs – So what? The religious fervor that accompanies support of social welfare programs seems to be an unconstitutional violation of the seperation of church and state. When you justify social welfare schemes by arguing that we all have “a duty” to help those less fortunate – that sounds to me that you’re making a religion-based appeal to buttress your point. If that’s the case, you’re violating the establishment clause.

So then, let me get this straight: abortion has been legal for how many years? And yet we still have millions on welfare, abused children and “unwanted” children. So, what has legalizing abortion done to help? Oh, you think that without it our planet would be over-run with “extra children”? I’ll tell you what has happened since the beginning of the Feminist Movement: the money machine is churning. Federal funds to safe sex education, federal funds to Planned Parenthood. Especially in the minority communities. So, have they fixed the “problem”. No, they’re making a profit from it.

They fight will all get out to eliminate the death penalty for those who have committed the most heinous crimes. Yet they also fight with all get out to protect the killing of the unborn baby – the most innocent life who has done nothing wrong and harmed absolutely no one. Over 50 million babies killed and murdered in this country since the passage of what liberals think is their hallmark of enlightenment: Roe v. Wade. Some day this country will wake up to the horrors of what it has done, just like it did with slavery.

For all of you pro-choice people, no matter how the baby was conceived, casual sex, rape or incest or just at an any inconvenient time, he or she is so not to blame for being conceived. The baby is always innocent. The baby is a human being and is LIFE. Close your eyes and imagine yourself not having life, Thank God for your Mother. There are other alternatives than being cruel to an innocent baby and aborting is taking a life. No matter what the outcome for a new baby, at least they will have had a chance to live and be able to see life’s wonders just as all of you on this site have. I am 67 yrs old, I have loved and been loved, I have suffered and lost loved ones, but I would not trade one moment of my life, or my memories. Take heart everyone.

@13shades: You’re right. It does come down to choice.
In my opinion, the morning-after drugs should be illegal because they are deadly to women and children.
But if they are going to be legal, then let the women who are offered the choice know the facts.
I think reasonable people would agree that they have the right to an informed choice.

I just saw an add online by PETA showing tortured, burned and mutilated animals. Funny that seems to be okay but an add showing the truth about chopped up and burned babies (oops, I mean fetuses)seems to be over the top?
If you think it’s okay to suck a babies brain out during the actual birth the least you can do is see what your vote got you.
Liberals like to believe this isn’t life to appease their own guilt..after all if it’s legal it must be okay. Well, it is NOT OKAY!
As anti abortion as I am I still believe this should be a state issue.

Raggmopp,
Regarding the Christian view on the difference between abortion and the death penalty:
The Christian worldview starts with the idea that all human life is sacred as it is a reflection of the image of God. Therefore I ought to love my neighbor and do good to him, praying for him and serving him, even if he mistreats me. Innocent life is to be protected and defended, babies or otherwise. However, there is a moral law that God has given to us to follow, and as with all law, there are corresponding punishments that go along with any offense. In this law, certain offenses are so heinous as to require the punishment of death. The difference between the fetus and the death row inmate is not a matter of humanity, but of guilt. Therefore, babies in the womb, who have committed no offense, ought to be protected, and the criminal ought to be punished. Now I realize you might object to this on the grounds that you don’t agree with the standard of law by which the Christian views his world, but that is another issue. I’m simply saying that his position is not inconsistent within the framework of his worldview.

Though I’m not too sure where it is which life starts, and I haven’t any strong stance on abortion just yet, I can certainly say that I’m very glad that I wasn’t aborted… :/

@ericdb: I understand your reasoning about 1st and 2nd trimester abortions. They sound innocent, but here’s the truth.
There is no “dividing line” of when there is or is not a baby.
At conception, the baby’s unique DNA is formed instantly. From that moment, he is an individual, and he is growing.
From the moment of that miraculous conception, it is determined what sex, hair color, eye color, height, build, special abilities, personality, etc., this very small person has. Each new cell has the same blueprint!
Is any reasonable person going to say that a new human life has not begun? We’re not going to mistake it for a lima bean or a kitten. He is growing. There is life! And it is a person!
Furthermore, all the major systems develop quickly. Five weeks after conception, the heart beats and the brain has brainwaves.
Many girls don’t even know they’re pregnant at that point. Pregnancy tests are not accurate much before then.
Also, the morning after pills are dangerous for women, especially young ones. They were rushed through approval and have not been tested for long-term effects on women’s bodies. Already some have had severe side effects and even died.
Please educate yourself about this. You will find that there is a lot of money in the abortion industry at every stage, but not a lot of information from those who profit.

There is violence everywhere.Children’s cartoons, video games, movies, you name it we’re being sensitized to violence. Except one place, the womb. What are you afraid of, by showing the real, abortion? The people of Germany were shown the death camps after it’s liberation by the Americans, they were forced to look at what they once accepted and ignored and excused. How about you. Are you ready to look at what you condone as a procedure to remove unwanted tissue? Like the German people who were forced to look, is that you too? Afraid you’ll change your mind about abortion?

I’m glad I watched the video because I now know that we should call abortion the second Holocaust. Make no mistake, this isn’t political to me — I support us (church and state) giving aid to the under-privledged. Clearly, this is light versus dark, evil vs. holy stuff. I regret buying into the “it’s a womans right” arguement so many years ago. The irony, many liberals would not stand for animals being treated like this.

Would you want someone to care enough to be able to look at your suffering? To see your suffering? To care enough to want to stop the suffering?
Or would you not want them to see the pictures because it was too offensive? To look the other way and pretend no one was getting hurt?

@Just a fetus ‘If you beleive it’s just a fetus or tissue, why be disturbed?’
That’s the problem: when they show pictures and you can see the bodies, hands, faces, etc, it’s a little difficult to continue to believe ‘it’s just a fetus’. Their fantasy is crushed and they have to face the truth, which they spend every moment of their baneful existence trying to avoid so they can continue to justify the crappy things they do.

No different than looking at a mock corpse on CSI during prime time tv.
If it bothers you that much, maybe there’s something more than just a piece of flesh there?
Give it up already. You’re trying to draw a gray line in shifting sand. And every time you get horrified you just prove my point.
An child waiting to be born is only human if the mother wants it. If the mother doesn’t want it, it’s just a piece of flesh.
That’s the truth.

I’m glad the truth of abortion is being shown in primetime. I hope young kids watch the ad so they are aware of what an abortion really is. The abortion industry is perpetrating the worse possible kind of exploitation upon women and young girls. I can’t think of anything worse than a baby being killed by orders of the mother inside the mother? poverty, stretch marks, adoption, overpopulation, a hard life, child abuse, welfare? Nothing is worse than a premature death. Pro-abortion people have engineered a brilliant strategy with words, calling themselves pro-choice, and calling abortion a woman’s right to choose. This is why pictures are necessary. They expose the truth. How about teaching kids that sex causes babies and abortions kill babies? Even if they keep abortion legal stop lying to women and young girls.

Wow… so many people upset with them showing the TRUTH on TV. It’s OK for the evening news to show violence, but don’t show a commercial that demonstrates the wanton violence of the murder of little children (in defense of women’s hedonistic self-centered “rights”). Liberals, including Obama celebrate in the death of millions of babies. Straw man arguments aside, they are humans. Liberals like to point out the problems of the living in Darfur, but are hateful and cold hearted when it comes to the living inside a uterus. The founding fathers did not intend the Constitution to be used to justify murder. They had a sense of morality and absolute values, unlike today’s heartless, amoral liberals. Aside from the fact that the majority of babies killed are children of color, racist liberals (like the good ole Democrats of the south) continue to support this heinous crime against humanity. Talk about human rights violations…

Posted by: Bob | October 25, 2010, 6:49 am 6:49 am

I don’t understand what is wrong with telling the truth? Shouldn’t the American people know what is involved with the policies candidates support?
Obama didn’t support the Born Alive Act…shouldn’t people be aware that means if an infant is born alive during an abortion Obama thinks they should be left to die without medical attention as to not, as Obama says, undermine the original intent of the abortion?
Shouldn’t voters know how if politicians have a disrespect for life? After all aren’t some of the policies Obama has enacted able to affect life and death.
Hey, if a politician can leave a small innocent helpless child to die in a cold laundry room, maybe voters should know what the future holds for them if they become an inconvenience.
It’s transparency — and we all know certain politicians are very into transparency — right?

Liberals are against, and will protest the death penalty for convicted murderers. Yet, they are pro death penalty for the murder of innocent babies, and will gather for their right to murder them. In Genesis 3-15 the war begins between good verses evil. It is about a 50-50 split according to the already posted comments and views of our current society. I guess that it how it has been in the past and will be until Christ comes back.

Showing late term abortions will not change the heart of a liberal feminist. This is because a liberal feminist is a hate filled militant woman who defines herself by a procedure wrapped in death. A left wing feminist once said “IF women ruled the earth there would be no more wars.” Perhaps, but there would be a LOT of death. In fact, the death toll under liberal feminism far outweighs all wars put together. Tens of thousands died in Iraq. Women murder (routinely) MILLIONS every year. And they don’t care. They just don’t care because hey! They are woman, and hear them ROAAAR (lol)

This campaign ad is tame when it comes to abortion. Generally the fetus’ are torn apart when they are vacuumed out of the womb. After all this is what choice is all about, choose life or choose death. Stop the whining and get over it. It’s a no brainer.

Hey, why get excited? It’s just fetal tissue or something like that. Except for one little problem: Obama argues that after the innocent helpless baby is born -totally apart from its “mother,” society has a right to “murder” it through the horrible process of denying nutrition and hydration. This he claims, using his best Harvard Law deception, is because of “intent” (to that right to privacy with one’s doctor in view of Obamacare)
He fails to tell us justt how many years that “intent” business is appicable though.

“maybe they want to keep their kid and not put him or her up for adoption. ” Okay so you are saying it should be the parent’s choice to kill their child before it is born so they get to “keep” it?????? what????? Why is it that a child inside a fetus, very often viable outside fetus with care can be disposed for convenience or finances? But after its born it must be taken care of? No new born could live on its own w/o someone caring for it. It’s a human life or it’s not. It is so simple.
I can’t believe Jane Doe thinks it’s a parents choice to “keep” their child and kill it instead of adoption. There are so many childless couples that want to adopt and attitudes like this make it very difficult.
Kill those kids, it’s their parents right! Disgusting.

The argument of “what would we have done with all those babies” doesn’t hold water. There may have been some babies born that would have had enough sense to not mate with a lot of the liberals I’ve been reading on here so you may not have ever been born. Maybe some would have become teachers and taught you better. Maybe some would have become pastors and had a spine and taught better. There are some really, really, evil, un-caring, genocidal posts on here. It’s like life has very little meaning to you. I’ll pray for all but I know you’ll demean me for doing that.

Even if we put faith in God aside, you catastrophic abuse of logic and reason is stunning. You could not argue for such a horrible thing as abortion if you own mother supported it and made you a tortured and murdered fetus such as any of those in the video. Have you no shame left, that you do this to your own children for your own convenience? Listen to yourselves! “we have enough kids”? “Abortions are a way for parents less fortunate”?. You act a pregnancy is an unpreventable disease. You can lie all you want to cover your own selfish desires but you lies do not change the horrible truth. You are alive today because your own parents strongly disagree with you murderous selfishness. Shame on you.

I’m so sick of all the talk about choice, there are plenty of choices…condoms, oral, abstinance, marina, iud, vasectomy, i could go on. It is about personal responsibility plain and simple. Personal responsibility has gone down the toilet in this country and Roe V. Wade was the first flush. As the mother of three beautiful adopted children I am here to tell you adoption works. We waited years, and know so many other still waiting ( and no, not just for healthy white kids). But there are people out there too selfish to step up, for even 9 months, and take care of the child they helped too create. Too inconvienient for them, just kill it and take the easy way out. Murder is murder plain and simple…good for Ms. Smith for showing what really happens.

More than 50 million children died from abortion. Those children would now have been having children of their own and working, contributing to our Social Security base.

Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, abortion does not mean fewer children born in poverty. Did you know that many women (especially minority women)living in poverty are morally opposed to abortion? In fact, there is a belief among some minorities that it is a form of genocide. Others hold religious beliefs against the practice. Some think that having the child will help them have a tie with the father. If you don’t believe me, talk to some of these women yourself.

YouTube obviously agrees that abortions are “shocking and disgusting”. I happen to agree. Anything so “shocking and disgusting” as the taking of an innocent life should be illegal in a civilized world. Why not just start killing newborns if their parents are poor and the child will live in poverty?
The rational that it’s OK to kill a child in the womb just because the parents don’t want the child is sick. The next rational step according to this reasoning is to put newborns to death when they aren’t wanted. I guess the fact that aborted “fetuses” have fingers, toes, a beating heart, a brain, eyes, nose, mouth, human DNA and are moving around in the womb like you or I move around using our legs means nothing.
The argument is frequently made that since the fetus can’t survive outside the womb by itself it must not yet be human. News flash: NO newborn baby can survive outside the womb without assistance. Left alone it would die. By that logic newborns and even older infants aren’t human. They can’t talk, they can’t walk, they contribute nothing to society – if they’re an inconvenience and a burden and the parents deem that they won’t be happy living under the economic conditions they happen to live in then why not let them put these useless pre-humans to death and be done with the “problem”?
Abortion IS shocking and disgusting and it’s high time that people learn about what is REALLY going on. If everyone in this country saw pictures and video of what is actually happening in abortion clinics abortion would be illegal. The public is ignorant and most people have no concept of how shocking and disgusting it really is to kill a baby and extract a human being from the womb prior to its birth. Prime time TV shows contain scenes of gruesome murders. So why are so many people opposed to (and afraid of) the depiction of the murder of “non-humans” in the same time slot? Talk about hypocrisy!
Nobody has a right to kill another human being who is dependent on them, whether that person has been born or is still in the womb waiting to escape so they can experience the joy of life. Who are you to determine that this life should be taken because they MIGHT not grow up in a wealthy household? Since when can’t people who live in poverty have a joyful and meaningful life?
The people who are complaining about the ad are the ones who need to see it the most. They can’t watch it because it shows them a closeup view of the “shocking and disgusting” practice they support and they are uncomfortable watching it.
While I agree with YouTube that abortions are shocking and disgusting I disagree with their decision to pull it. It needs to be shown. I would have NO PROBLEM with my child seeing that. I want them to see it so they understand what’s going on behind closed doors when a life is terminated based on the determination by the mother (and NOT the father who has ZERO say in the matter) that the child would not be happy in the environment in which it would be born.
If you can live with this why are you so opposed to people being shown what’s actually going on?

Babies born with their critical organs on the outside has nothing to do with depleted uranium. It happens more frequently right here in the good’ole United States with all your moronic lefties trying to control every aspect of our lives. Just another question: Did the world get as offended when photos of the holocaust were published? those photos are pretty graphic too. I would bet the only people who had or have a problem with those photos are the people who participated or benefited from the holocaust. For those of you morons that drone on about a woman’s right to take another persons life being legal, Hitler made sure it was legal to begin the final solution. That’s right folks… it was legal just like abortion is now. I suppose if we can squelch any dilogue or the publishing of photos of what abortion actually is, then you all can continue to stand on your “moral high ground.” That’s why resonable people understand the differences between what is legal/illegal and right/wrong.

just because someone is prolife that makes them a moron? maybe you should do some research before calling names. last i checked name calling wasn’t a legitimate argument against anyone.
while it isn’t front and center these days, abortion is still a serious issue, one that should not be forgotten. The prolife stance is actually based on science and medicine. the prochoice stance is not. logic and science vs emotion and convenience

The same liberal political platform that is “anti-war”, against the death penalty, and is so concerned for every plant and animal species on the planet is also somehow in favor of sanctioned murder of babies. How is this possible? Save a convicted murderer yet kill a defenseless child in the twisted name of “choice” and “a mother’s right to choose”. Barbaric nonsense.

There is no simplistic choice for me. Since we’re all God’s kids and He loves us regardless; even bad decisions can be ok in the long run. What’s the loving thing to do?

And to anyone foolish enough to attempt to, let me warn you, its a trick question.

Abortion is murder. Why is it people are fine with going to see movies like “Saw,” “Nightmare on Elmstreet,” etc, for entertainment, but the real murder of innocent life is offensive?
To Jane – you are right Cons are against all the things you say. What we are FOR is personal responsibility, parents teaching their own children responsibility and the personal cost of irresponsible behavior. We are not against safe sex education, but we don’t want it taught to our 5-12 year olds in a state run school. And, let’s face it – the vast majority of abortions are not done on married women who become pregnant with their husbands, rape victims, or victims of incest, but the irresponsible unmarried woman. So what you are saying is it’s okay for illegals to come here to have their babies, putting a strain on OUR economy, but abortion is okay because it keeps all those pesky extra Americans out of the equation. God help us from twisted thinking like yours!

Murdering unborn children. Butchers. Animals. If you don’t think it is wrong to kill an unborn child, then you are beyond help.
“I don’t want my daughter to be punished with a baby” – Barack Obama – 2008. What a monster.
Children aren’t a punishment. They are a gift from God. Don’t take the easy way out. Don’t murder your child.

Posted by: TerryP | October 25, 2010, 10:50 am 10:50 am

the most liberal free-thinking men in the 1700′s would never condone killing a fetus. They also espoused freedom from big government and hated govt. intervention in their lives, a far cry from what is today considered liberal. Even in planned parenthood’s literature in the late 60′s the term “abortion would kill the baby” is used. So yeah, people like us have ALWAYS had this country. Let’s face facts, Planned Parenthood makes money from abortions. The abortion industry is all about making $$$. This is not a religious issue, it’s scientific. Humans always emanate from humans, it’s the way the species works. The fetus you are terminating (killing) is of the human species, it is in fact human, and it is a being. The liberals argue that it’s not a “person”. The fact of the matter is that a human being’s life is being ended without consideration for a family that would want to adopt it. American families that want to adopt are being sent to Mexico and Russia because it’s too lengthy of a process to adopt an American baby. Obama would have it partial birth aborted in the 9th month. He is fine with this. The other liberal ploy is to say that pro lifers would force rape victims to have these babies. Abortions from rape are LESS THAN 1% of all abortions performed. This is a straw man argument. Planned Parenthood is telling teen girls that the fetus is “not a baby” so that they will go ahead with the procedure. As for saying that the aborted kids could end up being Hitler, that’s not for you to decide pal. Only in Nazi Germany did they try to decide who was worthy of living. This is the United States. If you think it’s within your power to decide who should live or who should die, I may ask…who exactly do you think you are to make such a decision, and why wasn’t the decision made on you? This is marxist or communist thinking and you need to go find a country where the majority believe like you do because it’s not here.

The truth can be ugly. If it’s not a “baby” it sure looks like one.
Look, folks….if you want to kill your baby, go for it I guess. But have the intellectual honesty to admit what you’re doing. It boggles my mind that we can charge a guy with two murders for killing a pregnant woman, but the woman can arbitrarily define the child as a “parasite” or “non-living” or “not a human being” whenever she pleases. Woman have the right to do as they please with their own bodies, but not with the bodies of others. Unless you are raped you HAD a choice. How many do-overs are you entitled to?

I think that the best message that can come from this is that regardless of your beliefs, there should be less abortions. Abortion should not be the immediate answer for anything, and more young women need to be better educated on what exactly goes on during an abortion. It is a medical procedure, and so just like any other, this one should be something that is planned ahead of time, and where the doctor gives an accurate description of what happens to the fetus that you take life from, or how to take life from it. That is the only way that women who have these procedures will truly understand what they are doing.

The question why they don’t abort 10, 15, 20, 65, 95-year-old, or who have rare,cancer, disabity, genetic … diseases. Once they do it then gas chamber, hard labor, reeducation camps are going to grow every where. Just review history by learning from barbaric, extremist, dictators around the globe.

These “gruesome” arguments have to be the most hypocritical thing I’ve ever heard. Most of you apparently take your kids or allow your kids to see the most gruesome and violent movies and video games on the market. Yet you want to censor a commercial trying to “get your head out of the sand” because it reveals gruesome activity happening in your “own backyard”. The pro “baby-killers” tell us it’s the same as removing an appendix, kidney, or any other tissue. You can watch those operations on the public TV all day long, so what’s the problem? Could it be that you don’t like confronting the reality that you are at the very least an accessory to murder? Yes, and judgment day is coming when you are afforded the opportunity to die at an old age; or someone treats you equally well as you treat the unborn.

the tea party is about 3 core values: fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited constitutional government….the tea party steers away from social issues. having a government which is not driving us over the cliff financially is what unites all of us, regardless of personal opinions on social issues. There are many in the tea party who are prochoice, I know several myself. I am now pro-life but do think that many women in my generation got hoodwinked by the feminists and planned parenthood who successfully removed the baby from the picture and put in “fetus”. I defended abortion for a long time until I got older and wiser. It is warped to think that it is anything but a baby that is being killed. You must acknowledge that. But, again, the tea party is not about social issues by and large.

It is absolutely mind boggling how liberals who falsely claim that they care about people can defend the brutal unimaginably painful killing of an innocent baby for any reason. It shows that those people who support elective abortion are either pure evil or they are mentally dysfunctional. The good thing is each and every child who is aborted will receive the glory of Christ and those that take part in the abomination of abortion, save they should repent, will be cast into the black abyss of outer darkness where they will spend eternity weeping and wailing being tormented by the truth and the consequences of their actions.
Below is a list of symptoms of the mental disorder liberalism. Keep in mind that some of these symptoms may apply to other mental disorders, however, if you exhibit 3 or more then you are classified as a liberal.
1. Inability to control anger.
2. Pathological dishonesty. (This includes the chronic incidence of stating unfounded opinion as fact.)
3. Reality or moral dyslexia. (This symptom is frequently accompanied by symptoms 4, 8 and 9.)
4. Act irresponsibly then blame others for the results.
5. View other people as less intelligent than you.
6. Jealous of people who are successful or wealthy.
7. Main motivation is self-benefit.
8. Believe happiness is a right. (Symptoms 8 and 9 are usually coexistent.)
9. Only happy when owning or possessing the material things that bring them pleasure.

The unborn are the most innocent of all humans, and were not at any fault for existing, but you barbaric pro-death/pro-choice believers are more than willing to put the unborn humans to death. It’s pretty sad, when I see people on this site justifying unborn human genocide because of any reason they can come up. These folks think that human life is soo cheap, that it is OK to kill because a baby is inconvenient, unaffordable, or unwanted.

The dirty little secret is that most abortion clinics won’t explain this procedure in the detail your surgeon would explain your appendectomy. If it is just a mass of tissue, what’s the fuss about? The fact is, it isn’t just a mass of tissue and the reality of abortion is abhorent.

Well I’m mentally competent and I love to debate those who think murdering babies in the womb is OK. Most of them still think the earth is flat too. The science of when human life begins is settled; it begins at the instant a sperm unites with an oocyte. Ergo, if you then kill this embryo….you have destroyed a human life…..period!
It’s even more fun to talk to people who can’t stand the horrific images of abortion. Oh how worried they are that some people will be offended. Apparently their consciences are assuaged by keeping the horrific, inhuman images out of the public eye; they just sit around with their double mocha vanilla coffee and tsk, tsk, tsk about abortion while the meyhem against babies in the womb continues. I’ve even talked to some that bleat on about cruelty to animals or the destruction of the rain forest but have no problem with baby murder….go figure.
NICE PEOPLE.

This woman is crazy and is being manipulated by the Catholic Church. She is fomenting hate and disgust – absolutely no one with an ounce of sense would support her or the people who back her. She has no chance of being elected and is using her candidacy as a platform for spreading misinformation and hate, just as many right wingers and Tea Party advocates are doing.

These babies that are being killed don’t just show up like a pimple on your chin, they are a consequence of an action between two people. If you don’t want to reproduce, take precautions.

” How could they air such horrible, graphic images “. Tell me then…. does not airing them make abortion more palatable to you ?
As in the Holocaust….as long as you don’t see what happing inside the death camps, then everything must be ok……
Here’s a challenge to “progressives”. Go to an abortion clinic and request to see one performed. No big deal, right? It’s just a mass of tissue….no different than a say, a tumor. So why are people charged with murder when they directly cause the death of a inviable fetus ? While your at it, you can console the parents by informing them that’s all the baby really was…….

Any one here espousing abortion, what is wrong with putting it up on TV?? Unless that offends your delicate sensibilities. OOOHH wait just so you don’t have to see it that makes it all right. How about every death sentence handed down by the courts be televised?? How about we all decide that whatever crap we do in private should be allowed to be put on national TV??? Please, for all those who decry this as a bad thing get real… This happens everyday. For those who say women have the right to choose, with Obamacare get a Uterine implant, guys get snipped. These are choices to make too, in this day and age the only reason for unwanted pregnancies and abortions are ignorance, and hormones(not counting victims of rape, molestation). So for those crying out that women should have the right to choose?? They already made their choice when they didn’t tell the man to keep his reproductive tool in his pants. Abortion is a medieval practice that should be outlawed unless it endangers the mother’s life, is a product of rape, or incest. Otherwise the choice was made long before conception actually happened.

In America, I think a lot of women use Abortion as a form of birth control, pretty obvious when you look at the shear numbers, but if one of the arguments for many women to have abortions is because they cannot afford to have or raise a child, then why are we not issuing a norplant to every woman of child bearing age who does not have the financial means care for a child. If the abortion would be covered by gov healthcare I (as a tax payer) would rather see my tax dollars prevent the conception in the first place. Americans spay and neuter animals because it is the responsible thing to do. just a few cents worth

you “pro Choice” people refuse to call it what it is because then you would have to face a huge moral delema and ask yourself the Big One:Why do I approve of wholesale murder of children,masked in the montra of “pro Choice” to avoid looking at your soul in the mirror.

It’s funny to me, that the same people who support abortion and the killing of innocents will hold vigils over the death penalty for someone who has killed innocents. Perhaps it’s a bird of the same feathers issue, it’s protecting the rights of killers (both abortionists and murderers). It just doesn’t make sense to me.

I know most people don’t believe in God any more so their concern for the death of the unborn becomes merely political but I believe in the curse of Cain .. It permanatly puts those involved with murder in a perpetual state of poverty… It explains totally the economic situation of the entire world… I too had an abortion and regret it and suffer great from the pain and guilt of killing my own baby.. It wasn’t worth it.. But don’t figure that out til it’s too late when all you have is the truth in your heart of what your baby endured.. Like the holocaust the only thing that might get through to people is the picture image of what an abortion is…

More than 50 million abortions in the US since 1973. No wonder our economy is not growing, we have killed over 1/6 of our population. Those kids would have been buying homes, cars and raising their families. Our economic depression is a natural consequence of our destruction of human life as it tries to balance itself again. Every action has its equal and opposite reaction.

So nice to see the passion that people still have in this country towards what is right. Let’s take it another step and demand our newly elected officials in November that will be replacing the “Do-Nothings” take action!

“abortions are a way for parents who are less fortunate,. abortions are helpful, especially when the parent or parents don’t have any money.”
Why don’t the parents just shot them after they are born? Is there a diffenece?

Teresa,
They may be living a rough life, but the key is they are LIVING. You prefer death over life? The oblige us all! Good grief! You people who advocate that death is better than life never seem to mind living yourself, no matter your current circumstances. And by saying that the babies are better off dead than living a hard life are saying that death is better than life.
You know the great thing about living? Even if life sucks for a time (ie: You’re poor and on food stamps) because you are alive you still have a CHANCE to change your life for the better.
When you are DEAD you have no choice. You are DEAD. How in the world is that better for the poor child?
Has it ever occurred to people that life is about more than how much money you have or what status of life you lead?
The selfishness of this generation is appalling and murderous.

What can be offensive about that?
Maybe you pro-aborts know a dead baby when you see one?

Posted by: Am I Wrong? | October 25, 2010, 2:05 pm 2:05 pm

Folks, abortion is the legalized murder of innocent babies. I find it outrageous that some of you have suggested that abortion is a better option than adoption for a mother who feels a bond with her unborn child. So have the baby killed instead of allowing someone else the joy of having a child they could not otherwise have? What kind of sick twisted mind would think like that?

Posted by: Michael | October 25, 2010, 2:05 pm 2:05 pm

So, DCMan you don’t like the truth? How very progressive of you.

I think Mother Theresa summed it up the best, “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die in order for you to live as you choose.” I find it laughable that you people allow your children to watch every form of violence and vulgarity on tv and then complain when an aborted fetus is shown. If this is too disturbing for you to see then just maybe it is a practice that we shoudl not allow!

Kay,
A baby, and quite often a young child will not survive without its mother’s care or the care of another adult outside of the womb. If you leave a newborn unattended for long enough, he or she will die. If you leave a toddler alone long enough, they will die. So just because that amount of survival time is less in an unborn baby there is a difference between them and a born child? Nonsense. A baby and a child depend on their parents for survival…so does the unborn child, only even more so than the others.
What about premature babies? Should we let them die because they are not to term?

Oh and by the way Theresa Jane Doe real name (Norma McCorvey) never had an abortion and has crusaded against the practice for most of her adult life, she was used as a pawn by liberal lawyers so that state sanctioned child murder could be imposed on us all. In addition to this atrocity, Margaret Sanger ( the founder of Planned Parenthood)was a Eugenicist who believed that some people were too inferior to procreate so we should help them limit their number of pregnancies by birth control or abortion. Those people she spoke of were blacks and uneducated whites. I thought we had evolved a bit in this country? Apparently not.
