The face of abortion.




In the comment thread below one commenter said he thinks abortion up to 23 or 24 weeks is fine. I thought I might show the face of we so easily dismiss as having no right to live. The first picture is at 20 weeks. A full month before he would have the right to live under that restriction of 24 weeks. These abortions are especially grisly as you might imagine. They are done for as little a reason as the baby having a cleft palate and it is perfectly legal. The 2nd picture to the right is at 14 weeks. Abortions are routinely done at this stage in the United States. Once the abortion is performed, the body parts of the baby must be put back together on a surgical table like some macabre puzzle to assure the abortionist that he extracted all the parts. So we can argue about abortion all we want, but everything I know about the value of life I can see in the faces of these babies.
