The Silent Scream was made simply to "scare" woman into not aborting. It's so full of lies, that I can't even watch it without getting angry. I found a great site awhile back about this. Here is the link:

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/news-arti cles-press/politics-policy-issues/abortion -access/anti-abortion-video-6136.htm

It pretty much debunks the entire video, and exposes the so called doctor as a fraud. It's pathetic that the pro-life movement feels they need to lie to women to stop abortion.

Thank-you for posting this, it brings up a great point.

(I'm not sure why the link separated like that, but it still works)

I didnt see the actual act that was on part two but I dont know what you ladies think happens in an abortion but depending on how far along you are A metal rod rips the fetus apart and sucks it up out of your body prettty plain and simple no tricks or mystery. If your going to support it you have to be willing to accept it.

thats pretty retarded.

This isn't the debate forum (and I'm sure your post will be deleted), but I know exactly what happens during an abortion. Please don't insult anyone's intelligence. A fetus the size of a grain of rice (when most are preformed) can not possibly be "ripped apart". I accept abortion and the truth about what really happens, not the lies that most pro-lifers tend to spread. Hence the topic about The Silent Scream, and it's despicable display of what pro-lifers "claim" is the truth.

um most abortions are preformed EXTREMELY EARLy and the fetus is a tint tiny thing. about the size of a bean. the aboce poster is right this is NOT a beadte forum this is the PROCHOICE forum so keep any NON PRO CHOICE comment to yourself.

I have both had and early abortion and had a miscarraige and saw it pass in the shower seeing how small. But they do abortions past 5 months not just early. Partial birth abortion, wonder where that term comes from.

Partial birth abortions are very, very rare, and many pro-choicers don't even agree with them. Only about 1% of abortions are preformed after 20 weeks.

whats the point you were trying to prove

The following table lists both the percentage of abortions performed during various stages of pregnancy, along with the total yearly abortions at each stage, based on a total of 1.3 million abortions per year (see above).

Gestational Age Percentage Yearly Total
Less than 9 weeks 57.9% 752,700
9-10 weeks 20.3% 263,900
21 weeks 1.5%

They wont even do one until you reach 8 weeks, you look at those images and tell me when that becomes your baby and not just a cluster of cells. Can you choose looking at those, I sure cant. I am lucky enough to have a child after what I did and when I look at his sonograms from 13 weeks and I can see him, my son, not a blob. I see his face. Sorry thats my point.

um considering its about ______ big...yes i can look at that and say i would have an abortion.
again this is a pro choice forum
so im warning you again to keep your NON pro choice comments to youself

oh and that information is wrong

In most cases the abortion can be performed as early as the EPT pregnancy test shows positive results or at approximately 5 to 6 weeks. Make an appointment with us if your period is two weeks late.

I had my abortion at just over 5 weeks, and the embryo was about 1.5 mm or .05 inches long. Looked nothing like a baby to me.

Well obviously even all these later it has effected me emotionally even though I still believe I would make the same choice if I had it to do over again. In my state they dont do them before 8 weeks because I didnt want to wait but that was my only option. I just dont think we should make light of it need to remember and be aware of the cold truth of it so we dont abuse it and maybe sometimes seeing whats really going on in your body may change how you feel about it

not everyone feels the same way. the most COMMON feeling (yes this si a proven fact) after women have a abortion is relief.

There is no doubt in my mind that many woman regret their decision to abort. I joined a site shortly after my abortion because I had some questions about physical recovery. The site was definitely for woman who needed help mentally dealing with their abortions. Hundreds of woman on the site couldn't even write the word baby! They would write b*** instead. They were devastated by their choice to abort, and I really felt bad for all of them. Obviously these woman didn't make the right choice for themselves. What I found interesting is that most (if not all) of the woman really didn't want to abort in the first place. Most of them mentioned crying and hating themselves before they even went to the clinic to have the procedure!

Sorry this is so long, but my point is that if you really don't want to abort (or you keep questioning your decision), you shouldn't. It has little to do with what the fetus looks like or whether or not you consider the fetus a person or baby. Ultrasound pictures are not going to change anyone's mind. You mentioned "the cold truth" about abortion. These woman knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and knew it wasn't what they really wanted, but did it anyway. Anyone with a computer these days is going to a lot of research before aborting (I know I did), and learn "the cold truth".

By the way, I am one of the many who felt nothing but relief and even happiness when my abortion was over. I have never regretted my decision, and felt no attachment whatsoever to the fetus "baby".

I don't know if faceit is pro-choice or not, so that's why the posts are still here. Faceit, if you could openly tell us what your alignment is, I can do my duty as moderator.

FACEIT- Many abortion clinics provide an abortion earlier than 8 weeks, you need to do research and find places that DO.

VERY few abortion clinics make women wait until 6 weeks to have an abortion, many will do them at 4/5 weeks.

I WORK IN AN ABORTION CLINIC, and I have had an abortion, NO regrets.

I am curious, what state are you in?
