for posting this. This is why liberal Democrats fight the conservative Republican push to show pregnant mothers an ultrasound before aborting their baby.

An unborn baby is not analogous with a brain dead adult.
The brain dead adult will not recover whereas the unborn infant's brain will continue to grow and develop and "recover". Your argument is more in line with "Well, they were asleep and never felt a thing... so it's not like a REALLY killed them."
An unborn child, at every stage of development, displays every criteria for the scientific definition of life, and it's DNA is human.. ergo - It is a human life.
You may want to start using your brain a bit more, Vampire, lest your grim compatriots decide to end your sunrises one night for lack of evidence of brain function.

The ultrasound should be re-formatted as a video and shown as a public service announcement.
Zero has been peppering all manner of TV shows with his propaganda to get our kids to join his Hitler Youth programs. I see no reason why this shouldn't be shown, especially in schools.

I, as a Christian, will be the first to admit that we fall short in many areas... I have to ask for forgiveness daily, but am able to find that peace knowing that my sins are forgiven when I confess and turn away from them. The point being, please do not judge all of us at the emotional responses that abortion can generate. As much as society would like to label this as a "religious" issue, it really is not... It truly is a human rights issue.
We view every life, no matter how that life was conceived, as a blessing or a gift from God. Just as God created you with a unique identity and gifts that have only been given to you, he cherishes every single life that he creates. Our hope is that God will transform hearts and...

The contempt, the disgust, the condemnation and damnation are all so typically...Christian.
ha!
Christianity, n: an excuse to condemn ones perceived enemies with utmost self-righteousness and infallible arrogant attitude ever. A religion still plummeting the depths of depravity in condemning humans all the while in the name of righteousness. A religion designed expressly for the those who relish hate, fear and the other dark emotions attributed to human nature.
LOL.

She has a handle fit for a fool and a murderer.
There's a place for mutants like Vamp; in a coffin, with a stake in her ticker.
But, she seems harmless; we can forgive her clueless posting. The real sad part is, many more clueless women have the same sickness she has. They cannot love. Not even their own offspring. What they do is screw; and they want that; but without consequences.
Meaning destroy the evidence growing in my tummy. (He/she can't fight back or get away.)
What else? Tax money can pay; I won't be billed. And Vamp is proud of herself.

this statement is just callous beyond belief
No cognitive brain, no person. It is called being brain dead, or better stated brain missing, like the people projecting their own self onto an ultrasound.
you and peter singer are disgusting.

You do realize that the cognitive parts of the brain, i.e. those that involve thinking, memory and rationalization don't develop until late in the third trimester, eh?
One can easily make the case that the ultra-sound is the physical equivalent of Terry Schiavo following a balloon video. Its knee jerk, not science.
Psychologists would clinically classify the emotional reaction to either Terry Schiavo or an ultra-sound as "projection", the ultimate in anthropomorphism is classifying the actions of a brain dead human as human. Just because you want to believe it doesn't make it so. Like Lewis Black who also noted the conservative knee-jerk propensity to equate brainless bodies with real humans, I'm also waiting for Lewis'...

Have you seen an ultrasound of an abortion??? I have. It was a DNC (look it up. It doesn't mean Democratic National Committee, although it's kinda ironic, isn't it). Watching the 'fetus' move violently away from the curette has haunted me for many years. You might call the video a 'knee-jerk reaction' by a scared, dying human being.
Be glad your mother didn't consider it as "punished with a baby." (BHO 2009) You and your liberal kind are the most selfish, amoral generation that's ever been seen in the country.

Planned Parenthood is an evil organization. The abortion industry is not about the "right to choose." It is about money and political power. They fear the truth about the personhood and humanity of tiny babies in the womb. That's why they oppose women seeing the ultrasounds that demonstrate clearly that the babies within their wombs are not just "clumps of cells." Planned Parenthood is Murder, Inc.

Abortion will always be with us, as it has throughout time, but so long as we can educate people about what happens following conception and can keep arguing forcefully and effectively for the unique value of individual human life, offer alternatives, prevent unwanted pregnancies, etc. I think eventually we will reduce abortion to a very small number. Changing people's perception, as with the leader of PP, is the key. Empower women (and their men) to choose life.

You'd rather believe political propaganda than anything your lyin' eyes would show you by way of an ultrasound, then? No doubt you also believe the sky is green and grass is purple.
Denial isn't a river in Egypt.
If it's not a baby, then you're not pregnant.
I am glad to see that director finally acknowledge the truth.

PP has been using the same arguments since the 60s to support killing unborn human beings. However, in this day and age, with what we have learned about the child from its conception, these arguments are false and misleading. Abortion only benefits young men who have no sense of responsibility and those young women without a soul who claim to feel "nothing" after having an abortion.

have would cause damage to PP then by all means, it should be made public. What have you baby killers done that is so horrible it will put you out of business? Why are you hiding the truth behind lawyers? PP is nothing more than birth control for lazy immoral people.

The notion that an ultra-sound would sway a person speaks volumes about:
a.) The person being swayed and the rationality of their mind,
b.) The people doing they swaying and the rationality of their mind.
An emotional, knee-jerk reaction is all that is required, eh? for making moral decisions? Pretty much sums up Christians and conservatives. And these people are going to be parents, eh? If I believed in God I would definitely have to pray, "God save us all from your knee-jerk reactionaries, and on second thought, dear God, save us from all your followers if there are any that are not knee-jerk ditto heads!"
Hey, I know, why not show that same ultra-sound to convince your kid to go to college! Yes! The...

Planned (un)Parenthood knows the grotesque nature of their "business" and does not want it shown to the world, hence, the restraining order on a former employee. I can they can dish it out, but they can't take it.
Glad to see this former director finally come to an understanding of the issue at heart to millions of people nationwide. Abortion is the murder of a living being without a choice in the matter. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts in the matter. But we all know that the reason it's so popular is because people don't want to accept the consequences of their actions.
Again, it's refreshing to see someone turn it around and begin speaking out against abortion and the other awful practices of PP. Keep up the good work!
