i’m just going to link a bunch of links and quote them.
you can read for yourself.
i only have one image directly on this page. it’s not from an abortion. The baby was going through surgery on his back. you can find it here

“We need to be educated on the facts about abortion. We need to be able to speak intelligently and compassionately about this difficult issue. We need to look at the hard pictures. We need to feel the horror of it ourselves, if we’re going to be motivated to do anything about it.”
the website from where i got all the other links
“Planned Parenthood has taken the lives of more young people since 1973 than we have lost in all of America’s wars put together. In fact by now in order to get an idea of how many deaths they have been responsible for – just pretend that nuclear weapons detonated in and wiped out the entire populations of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Washington DC combined. (Though you’d still come up on the short side.)”
Liberals Lie, Children Die
quoting Randy Alcorn: “My wife and I were outside an abortion clinic one dark, overcast day. Three women in a row came out of the clinic wearing sunglasses. we could see that all three had been crying. My wife said, “You don’t grieve like that when you’ve just had a lump of tissue removed. You grieve like that when you’ve lost your baby.”
Everybody knows it’s a baby.
“One day, ‘a set of twins at 24 weeks gestation was brought to us in a pan. They were both alive. The doctor came back and said, “Got you some good specimens–twins.” I looked at him and said: “There’s something wrong here. They are moving. I can’t do this. This is not in my contract.” I told him I would not be part of taking their lives. So he took a bottle of sterile water and poured it in the pan until the fluid came up over their mouths and noses, letting them drown. I left the room because I could not watch this.’
But she did go back and dissect them later. The twins were only the beginning. ‘It happened again and again. At 16 weeks, all the way up to sometimes even 30 weeks, we had live births come back to us. Then the doctor would either break the neck or take a pair of tongs and beat the fetus until it was dead.’”
Selling Baby Parts
the following website is full of pictures. it’s graphic and horrific, but sometimes we need to see it to understand the horror that abortion is. Watch the video too.
“And so God requires the death penalty when blood shed from innocent life cries out to Him. And I believe that’s the plight of America. I believe that the land is stained and soiled with the blood of the innocents who have been, and are continuing to be, even now as I speak, massacred. Nothing shows more clearly the total moral and spiritual decadence of our society—its disregard for God; its disregard for His creative work, for that which is made in His image; its disregard for His compassion and the compassion of Christ—nothing shows this more than the mass murder of millions of babies.This disdain for the sanctity of human life and the substitution of what we call the “quality of life,” which causes us to be murderers of children, causes the very soil of our land to cry out to God for retribution. And I believe we are now under the judgment of God, a nation of murderers: the ground is crying out. God has His ways. God has His ways.“
The Biblical Perspective
Abortion is not a “political issue.” It is the destroying of a human life. Ultimately, it is a dishonor to the Lord. One pro-life writer (the second to last link) writes, “We have been chipping away at the essential, inherent value of human beings…” The issue isn’t even that there is an “essential, inherent value” in human beings. No, we are worthless, and detestable, but we were also “fearfully, and wonderfully made.”
“For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths
of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed
substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of
them.”
Psalm 139:13-16
We are the works of His good hand. He hates murder, and that is what abortion is. legalized murder.
that’s horrifying. thanks for this entry jen. social justice is so much more than making the world a better place–it’s about getting to the root of the issue, the sin in our hearts. good reminder.
it hurts me to see how people can go through a purposeful act of killing their unborn child.
it was hard enough to go through miscarriages… knowing even from the time the missed period that your CHILD is on the way…
sigh.. God help us!
Thanks for the sobering reminder to be lights in this world of darkness…
OMG that is so horrible!! How can someone kill a baby. It makes me sad that a unborn human hast to suffer for someones stupidity. Thank Jen for posting this entry. May god be with you.
