… 57 million American lives have been lost.

A pro-abortion writer for Elle magazine reported she was “flabbergasted” that Newsweek used a photo of what she called a “well-developed, relatively late-term fetus” for their cover.

According to her, first trimester fetuses (when most abortions are performed) don’t look so much like real babies, rendering this looks-like-a-baby photo an unacceptable piece of agitprop in the abortion debate.

ag·it·prop = agitate + propaganda

She’s right that most abortions are performed at or before the age of the fetus on the cover of Newsweek.  However, her use of the phrase “relatively late-term” is itself an example of agitprop.

• By definition, a “late-term” fetus is in the second half of its 38-week uterine stay. I.e., at or after 19-weeks gestation.
• The Newsweek photograph is of a 12-weeks fetus.

Human gestation lasts 38 weeks from conception to birth. Pregnancy is dated from the first day of a woman’s Last Menstrual Period (LMP). Ovulation generally occurs around 14 days after LMP. A ripe egg only survives about one day after being released from its ovary; during the first 2 weeks of a woman’s “40-week pregnancy”, she was not pregnant yet.

• The 12-week fetus in the Newsweek photograph was inside a 14-weeks pregnant woman.

Riddle me this, Pro-Aborts:  If an unborn person’s age, race, gender, disability, appearance, or inconvenient place of residence gives you the right to end his or her life, then what basis do you have for demanding that you have any right to life?

The pro-aborts like to parade bloody coat hangers to evoke the alleged slaughter of “25,000 women a year” by illegal “back alley” abortionists. It’s a load of donkey doo.

In 1972, illegal abortions killed 39 women nation-wide.

We can be confident of that number because

(a) abortion deaths were actually reported where it was illegal to perform them and

(b) pro-aborts did not object to this statistic when it was presented to Congress.

The simple fact is that women choosing abortion were SAFER back when abortion was a felony.

There’s no way of telling now how many women are maimed and killed by legal abortionists, because the system works to cover up their crimes.

Go here to read just a very tiny sampling of what happened to real women at supposedly “safe, legal” abortion clinics. I suggest you do not attempt to eat anything while reading. It’s not pretty.

This video needs to be seen to be believed. I watched about 2/3 of it, then couldn’t finish watching it, because my legs began to feel numb and my head got all swimmy.
